Before We Begin
This book is a collection of free articles that have been published on A State of Mind website. They have been merged into this e-book in order to share the knowledge further, beyond my own corner of the web. The articles cover various topics, from specific psychic abilities, to general principles of spiritual growth. Inside Book I of Psychic Records, you will find both theoretical articles, and practical tutorials. Although you won't become psychic just by reading this book, I'm sure you will learn a lot of useful smaller and bigger things, such as affirmations, or core images technique. The articles within this book show the evolution of my English skills, as well. Most errors has been fixed, but the first articles on this list are the oldest; therefore, some errors may appear in them. Enjoy!
You are free to print this work, and pass it on to your friends, either as PDF or as print format. All I ask is that the format of this work remains as it is right now. Please, do not publish specific articles anywhere, just link to this PDF on Scribd. Thank you!
Source :). But within this mental shell, a seed of your other bodies remains. This is why the concept of karma and negative patterns from previous lives can function. But lets skip the karma thing for a moment, and lets focus on psychic abilities. That seed from your mental body can be reborn in your astral and etheric body when you go back to life in the wheel of reincarnation. And this seed can cause some energy channels and some chakras to be already developed nicely, if you had been developing them in your previous lives. And thats why some people have natural psychic abilities I call it their good karma :). It doesnt make you worse than those who have natural psychic abilities theyre not really gifted, but they just worked pretty hard in their previous life. And this gives every single psychic wannabe a hope -that, with training and effort, you can learn psychic abilities here, in this very life. And even if you dont believe in reincarnation, dont worry you can still use the knowledge from this article for you own benefit. And knowledge for psychic development is simple practice, and you will learn. But this is just first element of the puzzle.
Traumatic events - something that caused you fear, sadness or either physical or emotional pain. Negative habits - for example, one day something happened to you, when you were sad or angry, and your reaction to this event was aggressive because of this. A habit is created based on this first reaction, a negative habit that might create a negative situation later in your life. Socialization - people around you, lets say your parents, siblings, school buddies, teachers and so on, they try to teach you many things based on their own experiences. And when someone tells you all the time that life is difficult, a blockage is created, you think life is really difficult. When a person tells you that youre stupid (even if he or she tells it in anger, and he or she doesnt mean it really), another blockage is created. When teachers tell you no, this is impossible, another blockage is created, blocking your creativity. Wrong practices bad magical or spiritual practices might cause blockages as well, and thats why you should not work with black magick, and you should choose your teachers well. And these blockages are being created all the time, in this life, and in your previous lives, and often, theyre being pushed from your conscious mind into your subconscious. But psychic development exercises, for example, something as simple as breathing techniques, sooner or later will cause these things to re-emerge. And this will give you problems, why? Because once more all your fears and concerns are on the surface of your mind and you need to deal with them. Negative patterns might re-emerge along with energy work as well, from New Energy Ways to Tai Chi Chuan or Qi Gong. Why is it so? Because you collect more energies, and more energies are flowing through your channels, and they might push the blockages, causing them to re-emerge. Such negative patterns are not only blocking your energy channels (thus causing illness of a different sort), but they can also influence your energy level. When youre angry or sad, youre loosing energies, and you dont have much of it if you have many blockages. As you can see, all these things that are screwed up in your subconscious are influencing the speed of your psychic development.
Fixing Things Up
And I can assure you no matter what you might think about yourself - you have something screwed up in your subconscious, something that is blocking you in one way or another. How can I tell this? Because I have many things screwed up as well, so I know how to recognize them. Basically, if you want to notice that you have blockages in your subconscious, think carefully, which area of your life doesnt work well in which area of your life you have problems? That problems are symptoms, signs that not everything is OK with you. Let me give you an example. One of my own biggest problems is the attitude towards people who achieved success I was born and raised in Poland, and the mentality of people around me imprinted a common point of view on such people that they lie, steal, and hurt people in order to get their money, and generally that theyre assholes :). Now, whos an ass, really? :P Now obviously, this is not truth in case of 90% of rich people, but it generates problems in my case, I just cant become truly rich because my subconscious mind is blocking my law of attraction thinking I wish to pass over $250 USD of passive income each month, but I just cant :(. So my current goal is some mind work that deals with such negative thinking.
Therefore, Im sorry Mr. Darren Rowse that I didnt think about you with respect I truly believe youre an awesome person who achieved great success by teaching others, keep doing this!Im sorry Mr. Glenn Allsopp. I really think youre an intelligent guy who wrote a great e-book and achieved huge success by using available tools and knowledge for your own advantage. Im sorry, developers and designers at ThemeForest, I truly think your bestselling templates are just awesome! Through different techniques, you need to cleanse all the negative patterns you are aware of, and negative things related to money are such negative patterns. Cleaning the mess related to your financial issues is also a part of spiritual growth, because: First of all, youre learning how use some methods for your mind cleaning, methods like working with core images or affirmations. Youre cleaning the mess related to money in order to get more money sorry, but in XXI century money is mandatory if you wish to purchase good books, and learn from good teachers. I would say even more dealing with your money problems is the first step towards spiritual development. But truly, this is a subject for a different article. For now just remember its OK to have a lot of money if you have earned them honesty. Of course, remember that you cant fix everything at once. Of many negative patterns, youre not even aware. They will re-emerge when youre ready to deal with them, and the more time you spend on working with your inner-self, the more blockages you can remove. The more blockages are removed the faster your psychic development will progress. So what do you need in order to deal with negative patterns? Well, a prayer is the first thing. But not a prayer from any specific religion, Im talking here about prayer that comes from your heart. And it doesnt have to be directed towards any specific deity, no you can direct the prayer towards yourself, asking your higher self for guidance and support. Beside that, you might use: Meditation - because it expands your consciousness, and it also calms down your mind, allowing negative patterns to re-emerge, so you can recognize them, and deal with them. Affirmations - simple technique that is used for changing subconscious patterns. A true affirmation should be a written one, so yes, they require a lot of writing. But theyre basic technique you might use. Rebirthing - more advanced breathing technique that is used to cause negative patterns to reemerge. Some people are using affirmations to change their negative patterns. Some people prefer rebirthing, personally I have my own technique of working with core images, a modified technique first introduced to me by the book of Robert Bruce.
Now you see why spiritual development is so closely related to psychic development. And you also see that spiritual growth has nothing in common with religious practices, but its a work with your inner-self. And I encourage you to work with it, as it will make your psychic development easier.
When youre in times of trouble, you can listen to your intuition. Through your psychic intuition, you are receiving guidance from the above, from that greater power some people call God, and I call The Source. When someone is missing, you can use your psychic abilities to help local authorities locate the person. The same thing applies to missing objects or animals, or even treasures. When someone is in trouble, you can ask your own intuition to help you give the best advice to this person as possible, if this person is unable to unleash his or her own psychic potential. You can help unveil the mysteries of the past through fancy psychic ability like psychometry, an ability to acquire information from objects and places via psychic means. These are few examples. Generally, your psychic potential is your capability to stay in touch with the Source (God, Universe, or whatever you believe in) and use this connection to help yourself, and help others; its capability to perceive the world as it really is and make it a better place for everyone.

To deal with para-archaeology and perhaps search for hidden treasures. Para-archaeology is a field of science in which psychics are using their abilities to find archaeological sites, and explore the history of mankind. Its very effective field of psychic science, and many archaeological sites have been discovered with the help of psychics. Perhaps youre young Indiana Jones wannabe, or youre an archaeologist why not learning some psychometric abilities to help yourself or others in archaeological work? For me, its pretty fun. To hunt ghosts and do paranormal investigations paranormal is a wide field of our existence, paranormal activity occurs all over the world all over time, and there are people who seek answers what is paranormal and why is it happening. There are many psychics who deal with paranormal investigations only, and its all right to use psychic abilities for such purpose. To heal people psychic healing, biotherapy and energy healing is very popular these days. And it doesnt have to be psychic healing at all, I know some acupuncturists who are using aura view to diagnose people. Who knows, maybe your favourite doctor is able to perceive auras? If you study medicine, its very good idea to learn aura view or become Reiki practitioner. To give psychic readings not everyone is psychic and not everyone is able to tap into his or her intuition to ask the above for advices, thats why many psychics are offering psychic readings. Its a nice way to help people with their lives, and to make money in addition. Let me tell you something, as long as you give honest psychic advices, then dont worry that you take money its another way to make a living. To become psychic detective and help locating missing people one of the most popular goals of psychics is helping to solve crimes or locate missing people. Psychic detectives can be found almost in every city and town these days, and their offers are often accepted by police departments and classic detectives. To teach psychic development to others this is rarely the primary reason why people become psychic, but you can consider it as a side effect. Some people just love to teach others. These are quite simple and ordinary reasons for people becoming psychics. But there are other things as well, things that arent being mentioned in books or articles often. Psychic abilities are meant to be used on a daily basis - how? Below are few examples. To keep your family happy and free of arguments dont you think it would be great to be able to sense if your kids have problems? Or even being able to identify the source of the problem psychically? And of course give best possible advices to your family members thanks to your intuition? To make good decisions all the time we make decisions all the time, whether youre a teacher, a businessman, a policeman, a driver unleashed psychic potential can help you always make good decisions, so you wont make bad business decision, so you will always find free parking lot, so you will always buy healthy food, so you will always cook a great dinner (yep, I call it intuitive psychic cooking). To make big money if you can unleash your psychic potential, you can open something I call the inspiration channel which you can use to get inspiration for money making. How does it work? Basically, you ask the Universe to advise you how to make more money. And then, the Universe will point you to honest ways of making more money, perhaps by utilizing your hobby and Internet tools, or you might get inspiration for your own business, or you will get an idea for a book that you can self-publish later. Now this doesnt sound very psychic, does it? But your psychic mind can help you in this area of your life, as well.
11
To unleash your creativity if youre a writer or an artist of any sort, wouldnt it be great have that fire of creativity burning all the time? With psychic mind, you can, because you wont be pushed back by the society, and your psychic mind will be free to create new ideas. To enjoy your hobby and your passion lets say youre passion is astronomy. How can your psychic potential help you here? For example, by giving you ideas to make more money for the equipment, or inspiration for your own astronomy business, so you can live your hobby 24/7. Or if you dont want to turn your hobby into your job, your psychic mind that help you find other people who are interested in astronomy, and together you might create local astronomy club to embrace your hobby. Or, your mind can lead to you new asteroid discovery and become famous in your local community, as a result. To embrace your job as a teacher, you might notice psychically that one of your students got problems. As fireman, you might sense where people are trapped in a burning building. As policeman, you might use that gut feeling to solve crimes. As a doctor, you might use aura view to improve your diagnosis. As a nurse, you might use Reiki to get rid of your patients pain. No matter what you do unleashing your psychic potential can embrace and improve your work. Your psychic intuition, psychic abilities, creativity, spiritual growth all these things create something I call your psychic potential, potential of becoming a better person each day according to your own goals and expectations, a potential of living your life as you want it, a potential of living a successful life. They can be used by everyone a nurse, doctor, fireman, policeman, negotiator, businessman, teacher. Generally, everyone should unleash his or her psychic potential, this is a great step towards wellness living your life that is purely awesome! Because with psychic potential unleashed, you can see what generates problems in your life, so you can then deal with these problems. You can find enjoyment in your old hobby and find pleasure in each and every day. You can earn respect in every job, and you can improve you relationships. For this, and for many, many other reasons, you should unleash your psychic potential!

Affirmations 101, What Do You Need To Know About Using Them For Inner Growth
Do you know what affirmations are? Basically, affirmation is a phrase which we can repeat constantly, and this repetition is meant to reprogram our mind, for example, we can use affirmations to change our negative habit into positive habit. But affirmations are more than this theyre powerful manifestation tools, especially in the hands of skillful psychic.
Quite simple, isnt it? Generally, as Ive stated in one of my previous articles, we create negative patterns throughout our entire life. Emotional traumas, scary events, bad experiences, they all creates our behavior habits, and some of the habits we just cant stand. Affirmations are one of the
13
methods to reprogram our mind, and change negative habits and negative thoughts, into positive habits and positive thoughts. Notice theres always I, NAME, something its an affirmation for you, so it should include your name remember, its a tool to work with your subconscious, and your subconscious need a name for identification. Just stick to this rule :). Lets say youre always tired at work but you like your work, youre doing what you love, yet you dont experience that energy burst some people have. You might figure our its because few years earlier, you were working in a place you didnt like, and you lost your interest in any kind of work. This is a negative habit Im talking about. You can now use affirmation to reprogram your mind. Simple by focusing on Im always full of energy during work time you can become a walking power cell one more. Interesting fact is that affirmations are tools to work with your subconscious, and your subconscious is a nasty pet. For example, if you will change that affirmation a little into Im always full of energy in my workplace, then it will work, as well. But notice the keyword workplace now what might happen if your boss will send you for a delegation? Youre no longer in your workplace, and your energy might decide to take a break :). Another reason to pay close attention to your keywords.
14
so happy as it would be me whose got published :). An awesome change of point of view! By the way, go to Courtneys blog and congratulate her on this great achievement! Anyways, you see how affirmations work. Earlier this article, I have said that affirmations might work after few days, weeks or even months. Indeed, theres no set-in-stone time for affirmations, because some negative patterns in your mind are weaker than others, and some are more established than others. Weak patterns can be dealt within few weeks, and difficult, and established patterns might require few months to overwrite. How to know when affirmation starts working? To understand this, you need to learn how to write and use affirmations.
He, Nathan, makes money simple and with pleasure. And this set of affirmations should be repeated 5 times, so in total, you will write 15 phrases. If youre dealing with difficult pattern, you can also write 30 phrases or even more, if you like. As you can see, writing affirmations is quite simple :).
minutes of writing per day are not much, but it can change your life sometimes within weeks, sometimes within months, but in the end, your effort is really worth it!

more, I would also add one more thing to this theory morphogenetic fields of Rupert Sheldrake. As we can read in Wikipedia. Morphogenetic fields are said to contain the information necessary to shape the exact form of a living thing and may also shape its behaviour and coordination with other beings. Generally, a morphogenetic field is a field, in which things might happen. The best way to describe it is an example: if youre in school, where everyone is learning, then you will learn much faster and more efficient in school, then in your house or any other place where learning isnt the primary purpose. Thats why spiritual practices should be performed in a temple (or at least a Sacred Space), thats why learning should take place in a school or library, thats why work should be performed in an office. Few more examples like this and you will discover science behind Feng Shui. In Feng Shui, its all about the Chi, the energies that surround us. A place for work should have proper Chi for work, a place for rest should have a proper Chi for rest, et cetera. In my opinion, we can easily support ancient Chinese Feng Shui with morphogenetic fields theory at least partially. Anyway, theres one more thing to say here the theory of synchronicity. Carl Gustav Jung came up with the theory of synchronicity in 1920. As we can read in Wikipedia: Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events, that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance, that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner. Synchronicity, in other word a strange coincidence can be easily explained if you want something, then through global consciousness network, your wishes might reach people who can give you the thing you want, even if they wont be aware that they have been guided by global consciousness. With this small bit of theory, you can learn how to use the knowledge for your own advantage. And thus, for advantage of everyone, as in order to change the world, you must first change yourself.
What Global Consciousness Means To You And How To Use It For Your Own Psychic Development
So how can you actually use that global consciousness, synchronicity and morphogenetic fields? Lets start with synchronicity first. Synchronicity can be also called strange coincidence when something happens accidentally, but with interesting timing. For example when you were thinking about someone, and that person suddenly called you. Or when you needed something to deal with serious problem, and out of nowhere, that something came to you. Such coincidences can be explained through global consciousness theory. So when you need something to be done, to occur, to appear, global consciousness will lead other people in such manner, that one way or another, people will help you consciously or not. How to use this? By paying attention to coincidences and using your mind to ask for help youre never alone, and when youre in time of trouble, just ask the world to help you out. Or when you seek answers, then ask. If youre Christian, remember what Jesus used to say? Ask, and it shall be given to you and this is how it works! I wanted to know if I should continue my psychic development - the universe through my intuition pointed me to psychic development books I was seeking for months on auction website. I wanted to know if paranormal investigations are meant for me. And the universe gave me dozens of opportunities to meet with paranormal investigators and 19
discuss ghost hunting. I wanted to know how can I make money - my intuition gave me ideas for 6 books and 2 psychic-related services which Im planning to offer in the future. Its quite simple and you dont have to worry if youre asking for monetary gain. We live in material world and material goods are OK. The point is to understand how to use that psychic coincidences for yourself. Everything that happens have a meaning. If you want something, then something happens if its positive, then it means youre on the right track. If its negative, then it means youre on the wrong track. When my e-books are selling nicely and youre providing feedback to my articles (through comments or promoting posts via Social Networks), then I know Im on the right track. When psychic abilities works for me, I know Im on the right track. But when problems happens, like the one with Lady Blackrose and her e-book, I know I shouldnt publish e-books by other people because of business issues, and I know Im on the wrong track. Pay attention to things that are happening around you. Analyse if theyre related to your wishes (goals, desires, problems, expectations) and see if the events are positive or negative. Theyre like guidelines, signposts, telling you which way you should choose. Following coincidences is also a great way to develop trust for your intuition and guidance of the Universe. Synchronicity can be used for psychic development as well. You want to know if you should develop psychic abilities? Ask! You want to know which psychic area of expertise is meant for you? Ask! Maybe the universe will guide you to some psychic healing classes, as psychic healing is meant for you? You seek help regarding psychic development? Ask the universe for help, and it shall guide you. Remember one rule of the rules the universe always respond, the problem is that people often expect an angel to appear and show them the way. Well, that angel might be a guy in TV talking about financial crisis but it might mean something for you. Keep your eyes open :).
India its quite normal that some people are psychics. Psychic abilities works better in India than they work in United States. Still, things today are much better than they were 30 years ago. One of my teacher confirms this in case of my own country, Poland. He says that its much easier to do anything psychic today, than 10 or 20 years ago. The energies are changing for better. One more thing regarding morphogenetic fields and global consciousness. Keep in mind that its much easier to learn in group, than to learn alone. At least meeting with other practitioners once a month will increase your training efficiency.

Meditation Is A Practice
This is perhaps the first and most important information to mention. Meditation is often misunderstood as religious practice this is not true. Meditation is a-religious, its not a religious practice, its just a way of putting your mind into specific state. Even something as simple as prayer in Christian religion is a form of meditation. Meditation is a practice, and there are different forms of meditations, different school of thoughts, designed and created in various parts of the planet, by different people in different cultures. The truth is that you dont have to worship anything, or believe in anything, and you can still benefit from meditation. But what really is meditation? Well, its not that simple as you might think.
22
You see, real meditation is about conscious consciousness - to meditate means to be conscious of every single thought, emotional, mental or physical feeling you might have, while keeping your mind at peace. By meditating with proper techniques, you expand your consciousness, and the more conscious you are, the more attention you pay, the more you can see and consciousness is important element of psychic development you must be aware of the Universe around you. By practicing altered states of consciousness and trance states, youre not only making yourself blind to psychic and spiritual impressions, but youre also dumping your own consciousness. Its very easy to ignore your problematic thoughts and emotions, but true development is all about facing your fears, then dealing with them. Good psychic is a psychic that deals with problems, instead of running away from them. I was practicing different techniques that were putting my mind at altered states of mind for many, many years. But when I discovered Zazen meditation (thanks to my intuition, that pushed me towards this practice), Ive noticed a great boost in my own development. In case of trance states, I was always struggling against constant bombardment of thoughts. Fighting with them have no point, as only calm observation can lead to getting rid of your thoughts. Being conscious that the thoughts are out there and that youre consciously listening to them, puts your subconscious at peace. And then, you can calmly observe and Universe around you. Once my thoughts were calm, I was able to focus on specific problem, and consciously observe every single thought, emotion or physical sensation that came to me, recognizing these impressions as advices, or problems, as well, but problems which I had to deal with in order to move forward. And thats the greatest benefit of meditation in my case. Which One Should You Practice? I cannot say stop your altered states practices because theres nothing wrong with them as long as youre not thinking about real development on both psychical and spiritual levels. They can be often useful, as well, for example when you need to shut some emotions down to deal with other emotions. But if youre thinking about real psychic and spiritual growth, then real conscious meditation should be your practice. Also, you might know the famous phrase sex, drugs and rockn'roll while sex is good, and rockn'roll simple rocks, drugs are simple useless and destructive tools often used for entering altered states. Please if youre practicing trance states after all, enter them using natural methods and mind techniques. Do not use drugs or any sacred plants, its not worth it. Altered states are turning you blind, narrowing your perception real meditation expands your consciousness and its the one you should practice.

1. All you have to do is to sit down and relax, then with closed eyes. Say to yourself I will now count down from 100 to 0, and when I will reach 0, I will be in proper meditative state. Start counting down from 100 to 0. And if you will get distracted, start all over again from 100. This will help you develop your self-discipline. When you will reach 0, say to yourself Im now in proper meditative state. I will always achieve this state when I will count down to 0. Notice that you should not mention from 100 to 0 because the goal is to count down from 10 to 0 in order to enter this meditative state. 2. After 2 weeks of daily practice, start counting down from 50. Remember to say the programming formula first. Next week, count down from 40, next week from 30 and so on. Remember about programming formula after reaching 0. 3. After few weeks, you will be able to count down from 10 to 0 and you will achieve proper meditative state in which your thoughts are calm and at peace. Each time you will reach 0, remember about your programming formula. In such meditative state, you can consciously observe your thoughts, emotions and feelings. This is very basic technique, by some it might looks quite similar to different trance-how-to techniques, but the difference is the goal you want to calm down your entire mind while staying conscious and aware of the world around you, and the mind inside you. Thats the basic technique. After few months, you can switch to much more effective, yet much more difficult technique.
Zazen Meditation
The greatest gift of Zen Buddhism to our Western culture in my opinion is the practice of Zazen a sitting meditation. Its difficult yet simple technique (trust me, Zen is full of such paradoxes), a practice you should definitely learn. Unfortunately, its hard to teach Zazen over the Internet, so you have to find a teacher or Zen school somewhere in your nearest area. But its definitely worth it! And when your mind is at peace at last, and your thoughts are no longer bombarding your consciousness, you can start using meditation. For example by focusing on a problem you might have. First, while in meditative state, define the problem you have, and then just let things flow. Consciously observe every single feeling and thought you have, as the answers will reach you soon. Its quite useful in case of learning psychic abilities: If you want to learn some new skill, or youre having a problem with some psychic ability, you might use meditation to find out the best way to practice that skill of choice, or to identify the problem that is making the skill difficult to learn. Such meditation is also useful if you wish to identify other subconscious problems, that might generate energy body blockages, which can be later dealt with using affirmations.
Meditation and Prayer
Often, through meditation you can also pray. Its sad that prayer has been reduced to religious practice. In reality, prayer is just another spiritual practice, similar to meditation, but have a specific goal. For example, through prayer you can ask for help and support, or you can show help and support to others. In order to pray in correct way, you need to keep some rules in mind: Target your prayer some people pray to God, some people pray to different deities, some people pray to the Source, there are also people who pray to the Force from Star Wars Universe (its not weird, really, as the Force have more in common with the Source, Universe and God, than any wicked deity from any wicked religion). Remember to target your prayer who do you pray to? Personally, I pray to God which Im also referring to as the Source.
24
Prayer cannot be read line by line - prayers written down in Bible or any other Holy Books are not prayers these are rhymes, poems and basically useless words. Good prayer is yours only, spoken from your heart, spoken by your soul and mind, not by your vocal chords. Pray using emotions and visualization when you pray, use visualization and positive emotions. When you pray for good health, be thankful for good health and visualize yourself healthy. When you pray for money, visualize yourself rich and be thankful for money. Pray for positive things - never, ever pray for someone to be hurt. Never pray to cure the illness, because psychic powers are wicked, and they might first made someone ill, in order to cure him or her later. Always pray for positive things, and be thankful for positive things. Always be grateful and say thanks - be thankful for things you pray for, like they would be already yours, already here. What can you pray for? For example for help to deal with a problem. Or for support during business meeting. For guidance related to spiritual growth. You can also pray for benefit of others. Prayer as spiritual practice is important for everyone who wish to develop spiritually. But it can be also useful for businessman, worker, teachers, husband, and psychic wannabe literally everyone can benefit from good prayer.

Light Side Versus Dark Side, Why Should You Walk The Light Path Of Psychic Development
Im big fan of Star Wars universe. Well, sometimes too big as some subconscious blockages proved me lately. Star Wars universe, The Force to be more specific and the Jedi and Sith are so universal metaphors for our own world that often when I speak about psychic energies or God/The Source, Im using Star Wars terminology. Believe it or not, it works because even in this world, we have the Light Side and the Dark Side of the Force. And you, as explorer of esoteric arts and psychic practitioner, you need to choose between these two paths the Light Side and the Dark Side. I hope Lucas Arts wont sue me for this article, but the truth is, so far I havent figured out any better metaphor to put it. There are Sith and Jedi among us. Which one are you? And which one would you like to be? The problem is that often, people think theyre walking the light path, but in reality theyre on the dark side why? Because books and courses told them they were doing the right stuff and this was far away from the truth.
magick or psychic abilities to attract love or business success, but theres a difference between attracting love, and persuading specific person to love you. The difference lies in intention, you can either want to force someone to love you, or you can open yourself for love. You can either force someone to sign up the business deal, or you can open yourself for good business deal. In both cases, that first approach will always use low vibration energies, energies that are representing the magick of ego. Spirits work Goetia is quite famous here, an art of summoning spirits for gaining knowledge or power. But other schools also exists, teaching how to summon spirits to achieve specific results, for example persuade someone to love you. Yet rarely books and courses mention that working with spirits is based on the universal law of exchange - you need to give something to the spirit in order to get something in return. Often, its your life force, your Chi. Guru - a lot of systems is based on the wisdom and power of the Guru. Such systems are teaching that in order to achieve something, one must meditate through Gurus third eye, or through Guru in general, thus giving the Guru his or hers own life energy, creating Karma connection that will last for many generations to come. These are three most popular elements of most fast path systems. I know this, because I was also practicing things like that in the past. How did it end up? I walked the easy path once and its not like I was walking the dark path. I mean, I was doing bad stuff because I thought it was right. Ive learned things based on books that were constantly talking about positive energies, and positive fast results. And of course, I had fast and positive results. But no one ever mentioned that low vibration energies attract astral critters seeking pray. I catch an attachment of some nasty astral being that decided to feed upon me. This resulted in lack of Chi, and this resulted in depression, sadness, constant headaches, illnesses and things like that. Stuff that worked for me stopped working, I was no longer able to perform many psychic abilities I used to be good at. And I was unaware of this attachment for over a year until my new teacher noticed the entity and removed it. Books will speak of positive changes, but the reality is often much different from what the books and courses says. Low vibration energies, black magick, Left Hand practices, false spiritual paths can lead to attachments, and attachments arent pleasant they can block your intuition, and make you unable to use any psychic abilities at all, even turn you towards psychic vampirism. And this truly sucks. In result, the fast and easy path often brings very fast end and serious consequences. Sure, you can get effects very fast, but at what cost? Attachment? Psychic vampirism? Demonic possession? Depression, illness or even dead can also occur. The dark side, even if fast and often simple, just isnt worth the effort.

The truth is, my own developments performances speed up when I decided to change my approach and walk that difficult path that proved to me to be very easy. So why should I waste time on some weird magical practices when I can practice things that give me better results and I feel good about this? But why people think that the path of inner growth and spiritual development is difficult? My opinion about this is simple theyre misguided by books and courses that provide them with headlines like dont waste time on years of development, choose our weekend psychic development course or forget about spiritual growth that takes months, get effects within days. But at what costs, hmm? No, the light path isnt difficult its all about being patient and brave enough to try. How To Walk The Light Side Of The Force How to actually walk the light path of psychic development and inner growth? Here are few advices from me: Meditate meditation brings your mind at peace and helps you expand your consciousness. Choose Zazen practice (a Zen meditation school) instead of Trance techniques that only makes you blind. 25 minutes of Zen meditation per day can change your life, I know this from experience. I used to have very chaotic mind full of random thoughts, but it took me less than 2 weeks of Zen meditation to calm down and put my mind at peace. Im no longer controlled by chaos in my mind, the chaos is simple gone. Improve yourself - dont run from your problems, instead always identify their sources and work towards dealing with them. Learn each day how to improve yourself, how to be a better person. Study Buddhism teachings, especially the knowledge of Zen school. Collect inspirational quotes, read inspirational and wise books. Be a better person be kind to other people, be tolerant, be helpful. Make someone smile each day, do something good, help someone with his or hers work. Deal with your spiritual problems this means that you should change the negative patterns from your life into positive patterns. Deal with negative memories and habits by using rebirthing, regresing,Core Images work or affirmations. Heal your intentions, heal your connection with the Source, trust your intuition. Study and practice energy work arts take a Yoga class, or Tai Chi Chuan class. Take a Reiki workshop and become Reiki practitioner. Work with your chakras, do not be afraid of alternative medicine, dont be afraid of using psychic advices regarding your energy body for your own advantage. You might think that all the points above are related are very egoistic you meditate, you improve yourself, you study Buddhism, you practice Reiki and so on. But the difference is within your intention. Working With Intention Intention is very important in both spiritual growth and psychic development. What is intention? Intention is your reasoning, an answer to question why do you want this? intentions can be good or bad. If you want something for yourself, it might be good or bad. For example, if you want to learn Reiki to help others, its good intention. But if you want to learn Reiki only to touch young beautiful girls, then its bad, negative intention. Your intentions shape the energies youre using, and of course the results of your practice.
28
So you might ask, can you practice Chaos Magick with pure positive intentions? Well, of course you can! But the problem is some practices are overloaded with negative energies. Black magick, Left Hand practices and Chaos Magick for hundreds of years were being used for negative purposes of ego magick, thus they carry negative charge that can still attract astral critters and negative experiences into your life. Therefore, the risk remains. But sometimes, its good to study the background of specific techniques even Chaos Magick includes elements of meditation and Zen practice and 60 years of negative misuse cannot change the energy behind positive technique. Anyway, I advice to practice esoteric arts that were always filled with love and positive intentions. When you do practice meditation for your own purposes, when you study the ancient wisdom for your own purposes, when you practice Reiki art for your own purposes, but you keep pure intentions in your hearth, like an intend for meditation to become a better person, for Reiki to help people etc., then youre on the light path. Light path improves your connection with the Source, with the Force, and the Source can then guide you through your intuition: You can learn which practices will suit you, or which teachers can really teach you something. You will know which exercises should you try, which books should you read, which area of esoteric knowledge should you study and so on. And the coolest part is that if you decide to get rid of the chains of fast practices, your progress can be very, very fast literally within few weeks you can notice a big different, and within few months you can become more psychic than some famous psychics in TV! :)

what you need to deal with. Think that with this big list you have, you will soon deal with all your problems and your life will change within few months.

beautiful, peaceful scene youve created earlier. Focus on its beauty, and all the positive emotions the scene brings you. Enjoy it as long as you want. Say Thank you that Im now free and thats all you can now open your eyes and end your session, or move to another core images and repeat steps 2-7. It might look complicate, but after few sessions, you will learn. Each session might take as little as 5 minutes, or even 30 minutes. Personally, I never needed any longer session, and I dont advice you to push yourself to the limits. After 30 minutes, end your session. If there are still emotions attached to your core images, just mark that on your list. You will return to this core image next time. Dont push yourself! How To Recall Memories In addition, if youve identified negative pattern, but not the core image itself, you might want to use a simple method of recalling bad memory. You have to close your eyes, and relax all your muscles. Now you have to start breathing take deep breaths. Breath in and breath out fast, one second to breath in, and one second to breath out. Make from three to ten of such breaths, no more. And then, again relax. Say When I will count down from 3 to 0, I will return with my memory to the first time when and name the pattern youre working with, for example, when I was afraid to speak with a girl. Your mind should respond with a memory it might not be the memory you were seeking, but still, its a core image of some sort, somehow related to the pattern youre working with. Use it! In the case when you wont get any memory, dont worry. After working with some images, you will deal with many blockages, and new images will appear to you. It takes time to fix your subconscious, but its worth it!
Some might say its coincidence, but Im psychic long enough to understand that coincidences are psychic phenomena as well, and theyre not accidental, theyre intentional. Finally, you might ask Im done with the core image should I feel anything? well, you might feel a relief. Or you might even sense more energies flowing through specific part of your body if youre psychic sensitive enough. Or you might notice changes in your daily life. The only thing you should really feel is nothing. Ill explain that nothing refers to your emotions when consciously recalling specific core image. Thats why you should not destroy your images list. Read it from time to time once again, and recall the events and memories. If you can feel negative emotions, then it means the core image hasnt been cleansed yet, and you still need to work with it. But if youre recalling the event or memory, and you cant feel negative emotions at all, then it means youve successfully dealt with the image and you should be proud :). Everything else, like physical sensations or life changes, is just the result of your work. But theres an important thing I need to say. Sometimes, removing blockages might result in serious physical response you might catch the flu, or you might notice a pimple on your face (and it doesnt matter youre 60 years old), or you might get muscle spasm or like that. Dont worry, this is a good sign, it means that your energy body is working to heal itself. You should see my face today after I dealt with some nasty attachments :).

OK, I have nothing to loose, I thought. So I looked at the photo, and visualized the man. I got intuitive thought visualize his chakras, so I did. And then I just used the knowledge I had based on all the books Ive read, and I started reading the man. How surprised I was when the lady started to confirm my intuitive findings. Few minutes later I did correct reading to second lady on that meeting. And then I shared my insights with my teacher, and he confirmed I do see things. And I just started doing readings. Now I know what I can do and I know how to work with this skill, and I also know that with this ability I can slowly head towards intuitive counseling in much wider degree. I want you to remember this do not struggle to awake your natural abilities just keep unleashing your psychic potential meditate, work with energies, work with negative mind patterns and practice psychic skills you wish to have. Everything else should be left in the hands of the Boss above. And dont think that if you will awake one skill, it will be the only skill you will working with until you meet the maker. Who knows, maybe you have many natural abilities just waiting to awake, your very own skillset?
36
Isnt it useful? Instead of saying meditate, work with energies I can take a look and say you have some bad memories of your childhood, regarding physical contact I guess you need to identify them and fix them with affirmations and core images work, then the energy will flow easier and you will have better effects in your psychic development. Hmm? If you would like to speed up your development, or at least check out how do your chakras work, you can order chakra and energy body reading by clicking here. Energy Body reading can also support healing practices according to Chinese Medicine, all physical illnesses are caused by energy imbalance, thus any further illness can be perceived on the energy body I can advice which piece of your body require some Reiki or psychic healing. Its very useful in my Reiki practice.
37
Even if youre psychic, dont be afraid to ask other psychics for help others can help you with your emotional blockages, or with health problems (not everyone is psychic healer, right?). Being psychic doesnt mean you have to know everything and posses every fancy psychic skill that can be found in the Internet :). Through this article I also want to point out to the fact that we are all different, and we all have different psychic goals and different psychic abilities, which we develop further and further. So do not worry if you cant bend spoons and your psychic friend can. Dont worry if you cant see auras, and your other friend can. Keep in mind that youre special, you have special abilities other psychics might not have. Work with things you already have, and be open, as some new things might be hiding somewhere, just waiting for you to be ready to say hello to them. But know this even if some abilities might appear as gift, if you want, you can still work towards development of the abilities you want.

Often, a person can become a victim of vampiric attack, when someone, but not necessary a psychic vampire, is draining your life energies out of you through an energy link. Again, psychic shielding can make it more difficult to create a link, and additional energy work can stop the energy flow. Many psychic defense techniques like this can be learned from Psychic Vampire Codex or from my articles in psychic defense category. Magical Means Of course, pure energy techniques are just the beginning. There are also many magical means to achieve proper level of psychical protection. For example, people suggest sprinkling salt or holy water in rooms that have negative feel. Holy Water isnt necessary water blessed by Catholic priest. It can be any water blessed in spiritual ritual, even you can create it. For example, if youre Reiki practitioner, you can charge water with Reiki energy and youre done. And if youre not Reiki practitioner, then just place your hands over the bottle or jar with the water you want to charge, and visualize bright white spiritual light flowing from above, through you, into the water, charging it with powerful spiritual energies. Et voila :). Its hard to say if salt have some energetic properties that allows it to cleanse negative energies, or is it just your intention to cleanse these energies that truly works. But as you should already notice, salt and holy water wont work for psychic attacks, or astral entities, really. These methods can be used only for cleansing the room of negative energies. In case of astral entities, cleansing the room of negative energies can be helpful, yes, because some smaller entities doesnt like sitting in a place that feels too positive. But know this, removing negative energies doesnt mean that you will automatically fill the room with positive energies.This requires additional work that I will cover in another article. There are other methods of magical protection, for example creating and carrying amulets, or performing complex ritual for protection that can be performed to support your natural psychic defensive capabilities.
Above: Positive Spiral Mandala In his book about Psychic Self-Defense, Robert Bruce also presented many different magical and semi-magical methods of protecting yourself and your environment such as creating water barriers, or even using garlic. An expansion to these semi-magical techniques can be found in modern radionics practice and use of mechanical and semi-mechanical devices that cleanse and reflect negative energies. Radionic devices are using principles of sacred geometry and years of radionic studies to create devices capable of interacting with energies.
40
The basic example of such super simple device is an energetic painting on the right. Its a spiral meant to draw positive energies from the Source and fill the room with them. But in the end, every single method of psychic protection is based on two things energy and intention.
41
What holes am I talking about? You should already know this - Im talking about negative patterns, and bad memories you store in your subconscious, very same patterns and memories that should be dealt with using core images or other psychic psychology techniques. Such holes in your subconscious, points of attachments can be problematic. Heres why: Ive been having hard time because of the financial issue not so long ago because of this, I grew tired and slightly depressed, and of course sad and nervous at the same time. Because my dominating thoughts were negative at the time, my natural psychic defense got lowered, and someone or something used the opportunity to punch me with energetic construct. Sufficient to say, it wasnt pleasant as it caused aggression towards people around me. Fortunately, thanks to my teacher I got rid of the thing in my aura. But the experience taught me that negative thoughts can lower your vibrations, making you easier target. At the same time, positive and spiritual thoughts are increasing your vibrations, improving your defenses. After I dealt with the money issues, my vibrations returned to normal. As you can see from this simple example, negative thoughts can be problematic, so you should focus on spiritual growth positive thinking, clear peaceful intentions, helpful approach to others, less worries, more happiness. In this, your true psychic self-defense secret is hidden.

electricity was a fake and mass hallucination. I wont give examples here, but the truth is glorifying past scientific discoveries and yet classifying paranormal or alternative technologies as fakes or hallucinations proves only the fact that most modern scientists are blind in their own ignorance and hypocrisy. Every skeptic should understand your belief in rational thinking is just that irrational belief. Why do you follow your skeptical path? Because you have seen that rational thinking leads to technical advancement and scientific results? Good enough for me but still, believing that your point of view is the only correct point of view is just ignorance. I will tell you why psychics follow their path because we have seen proofs that our own approach leads to spiritual growth. Through our actions, we saw relationships restored, peace achieved, smiled on peoples faces put, depression and physical illnesses healed. We have proofs on our own proofs skeptics dont understand because they think in rational way, while we think in spiritual way, through feelings and intuition. Theres just no way for skeptic to understand this if he wont experience this on his own period. Theres a difference between skeptics and psychics in case of their beliefs, though. Psychics do not negate the results of rational thinking. I work on computer, call people with cellphone, drive a car and so on. I use technology, and I know that rational thinking and logic leads to technological and scientific advancement. And I know its good. And other psychics knows it. Psychics perceive the world as energetic structure they recognize that we are all connected, that we have spiritual souls and we are capable of spiritual growth. Different psychics follow different religions, but every psychics recognize the fact that human being is spiritual being, and without spiritual growth, we are at risk of self-destruction.
days, I was also thinking that if one have psychic abilities, one must prove them to the world, as its his or hers responsibility. Today, I dont think in such way anymore rather, I say: When the student is ready, the teacher will come. an old Taoist saying If I would have to describe it with words, I would say this at some point, you will understand that theres no point of proving anything to anyone, and that everyone receives answers hes ready for.Skeptic wont get the answers to his psychic questions until he will be ready to receive them. And being ready is the matter of inner growth you can only guide people in their own development, you cannot make them grow. Therefore, the circle is complete skeptic wont believe in psychic abilities without proofs, and most legitimate psychics have already passed their life episode in which they wanted to prove everything to everyone. When the rational thinkers will be ready to accept some spiritual truths, these truths will be revealed to them. Until this happens, all we can do is ignore pseudoskeptics and close-minded rational thinkers, and focus on two things our own growth, and spreading the word about spirituality.
Is Technology Bad?
That talk about skeptics have led me to another question. Is the scientific advancement bad? Is it wrong, evil? In my eyes no. On the contrary, its good we have received the gift of rational thinking for a reason, to advance the mankind, improve our lives, make them easier thanks to technology. From cars to computers to fridges and so on, technology makes our life easier. Less time in work means more time for spiritual development. Ah, yes thats the final problem were facing. The Yin lacks Yang. Black have forgotten about white. People created technology to give themselves more time, yet instead of using that time for spiritual pursuits, theyre wasting the time for more work, just to give themselves more free time. Its blind circle that need to be broken. How can you help in this process of change? Popularize psychic and spiritual growth for example by promoting A State of Mind :). But beside that, spread the word about Buddhism, Tao, spirituality, psychic phenomena, Reiki. Spread the word about holistic medicine energy healing, Reiki, Chinese Medicine, even elements of Feng Shui, be sure to popularize them as well. Popularize alternative technologies spread the word about simple things like Window Farms, and more advanced things, like Orgone generators, or Zero Point Energy generators. But more than that focus on your own psychic and spiritual growth. As Mahatma Ghandi used to say: You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
journey. The more people change their lifestyle, the better place Earth will become, and maybe one day, our technology will help our spiritual growth, instead of destroying our spirituality entirely. And maybe one day, skeptics wont be so close-minded. Do not think about any glorious mission just do what you want to do, explore your psychic potential to make money, improve relationships, solve crimes, search for treasures and so on. Develop your psychic abilities and your spiritual self, but remain normal human living in material world. This is your job, and its the job that will serve whole mankind even if you think it wont. Be psychic, but also be yourself.

Did you just had coffee? Or alcohol? If so, then sorry, but you should not practice any psychic ability for few hours that follow your drink. Well, one coffee is OK, but more can simple put you out of your psychic equilibrium. I tried chakra reading after 2 cups of coffee I was simple unable to do so, I could catch the images in my mind no matter how hard I tried. And I had that intuitive thought stop right now! The above, I mean the Boss above, was not asking, it was an order. So I did, and I got inspiration to write this short note. 47
For some reasons, any psychic or spiritual work after coffee or alcohol is not recommended. One reason is that it wont work, and if it will, then you cant be sure of the results. Its better not to try. One more thing if you just had sex (or masturbation hey, were adults, right?), psychic work is not recommended either. Youre just out of energies. When youre tired, or youre just recovered from illness (say, a cold or flu), then skip psychic work as well. Now while coffee and alcohol can be easily understood, as well as illness, then why the hell do I say that you shouldnt do psychic work after sex?! Sex is good, and everyone likes it, right? But unfortunately, Im not a girl :). While ladies can easily do psychic work after sex, because they have much more energy, guys should wait for few hours before doing anything psychic related. And that explains the fact that most girls I know have strongest energy field during theirs period. Sexual energies are no different than Kundalini energies well, its the same thing, thus taking care of your sexual energies should be important element of your psychic development practice. Theres nothing wrong in pleasuring yourself through masturbation, just remember as long as youre a man, its better not to finish with ejaculation :). You might want to learn how to achieve orgasm without ejaculation, some Taoist techniques teaches that. As for girls, have as much sex or masturbation as you like :). Ekhem now, back to younger readers
48
psychic development but large amounts of energies that can open your chakras is not the same thing as stop eating meat. Im going to make myself fried chicken for the dinner today, and I feel good about it. When should you switch to vegetarianism? When you will be ready, and you will be ready, when you will feel you should switch to vegetarianism, thats all. At some point, your intuition can simple tell you OK, its time to stop eating meat and you wont object, as you will feel its time for switch, you wont enjoy meat any longer, so it wont be brutal change it will be gentle change. And this is the change youre looking for :).
50
Personally, I rarely dismiss opinions of others in any discussion just because I dont agree with someone, or because someone is linking to his own website (where, by the way, he writes about psychic stuff), but truly, it hurts when someone dismiss the reality of your very being just because you decided to help someone.
52
What is ego, really? True ego is your self-confidence minus being an asshole. My self-confidence, my ego shows itself in the fact that Im sure of my knowledge and abilities, and Im using it to help people. The fact Im making money with this is another issue, that I will discuss another time. Anyway, the problem is that people dont understand the true meaning of ego they think that the ego is something bad, something evil, something that makes us well, assholes. But as I said true ego is our shield, that protects us from the world. It protects our financial issues, our safety, our goals, our family. Thanks to your ego, you know what you want, you know who you love, you know whats really important. Look at people who have decided to dump their ego they can be easily manipulated, pushed around, they have problems with their life just because they lack their self-confidence. Ego means I I want to achieve this; I want to get that girl; I want to do this; I want to feel safe; I want to eat; I want to; I want to; I want to

What Is Channeling
Channeling is a process, in which a medium channels information from astral entities. Its often used for bringing messages from those who passed away. But recently, channeling become a tool of bringing messages for the entire mankind. Mediums and psychics from all around the world communicate with different wise entities, and then they publish books and DVDs with great, spiritual knowledge. And yet, I see nothing spiritual and wise in most channeled messages. At least there is nothing new in these messages. Everything has been already said in ancient Buddhist or Taoist texts. Not mentioning the knowledge from ancient India. Yet, today we observe more and more books with wisdom of astral entities. And you know whats really bad? The fact that most people prefer to use the channeled knowledge for their own development, whether its spiritual or psychic, rather use the knowledge that worked well for last few thousand years.
Im just a guy. To receive information through your intuition, and to receive messages from your spirit guides; such things are different than channeling wise, almost godlike entity that wish to share wisdom with the world. And now I ask why do people have the problem with accepting the fact, that the knowledge of the ancients is more useful than the knowledge channeled by people from some higher beings? As far as I know, ancient masters really achieved something, while (so far), channeling have proved to be a great way of making money, only. I have no problem with positive messages meant for individuals. I have messages meant for entire mankind.
56
Some people prefer to read scientific works, and modern psionic books that mix science with spiritual practices. Others prefer to grab ancient works of Taoism and Buddhism and Tantra. Some people prefer to read channeled knowledge. Of course, I dont mean that you should read original ancient texts that would be difficult. Theres a lot of modern books and modern systems based on ancient teachings and practices. Your task is to find the good stuff, really. Because to re-write the knowledge, to stick to the essential, to simplify things for the modern society its a huge responsibility, and hard work. Once, I engage conversation about my book, Psychic Development Simplified. My interlocutor complained that I did not explain so many things regarding energy work or chakras, and everything else is too simple. Another time, a young man approached me (through email) and complained that the tutorial for spoon bending is too short and too simple to teach telekinesis. Hey, the name is not an accident, it is, after all, Psychic Development Simplified! I do simplify many things in the book, by sticking to the essential. If I would write about every single detail, then my book would be made of 20 tomes, 700 pages each. But no, I provide simplified knowledge that allows everyone to develop psychic abilities for real. And if anyone has additional questions, hes free to contact me, and I will explain things in details. Yet, every single exercise and point of the book can be trace back to previous books, and further, into ancient times. Even the exercises designed in the modern time are based on knowledge that existed thousands of years ago. The rules of the game havent changed, they just evolved. And as everything today, became simplified. This way, everyone can become psychic, without worrying about the complex energetics or chakras operations. Do not think that the knowledge of the ancients is old and outdated and that it doesnt apply for the modern world. The knowledge still applies. It never gets old, because it is based on the same principles that worked thousands of years ago, and still they work for this day. Think about psychic development teachings like about normal science. Science evolves, from basic theories into more complex systems. The same thing applies to psychic teachings; the basics have been defined thousands of years ago and the knowledge evolves. But what we really miss is a way of analyzing the evolved knowledge. Not every modern practice or system is worth it. Simple because its hard to tell, really, if the system evolved from something, or if someone created it from scratches or worse, from the authors imagination. This is where a bit of trust and cross-referencing comes in. Lets take New Energy Ways, the core of my books energy work chapter, a creation of Robert Bruce. Its very modern energy work system, and at first, it doesnt seem to be rooted anywhere. Was it imagined by the author? Not really. If you will take your time, and explore other, older sources for energy work, you will learn quickly, that New Energy Ways is based on Taoist teachings. Its a mixture of Qigong and Tai Chi Chuan that was sprinkled with a famous Taoist saying: energy follow thoughts. Cross-referencing and searching for sources is a normal, scientific procedure. You just need to read more, or consult with more experienced practitioners than you are. They can at least share some light on additional sources, which you can check in your studies. Finally, you can also use your intuition. If something doesnt feel right for your practice, then dont practise it. Its that simple.

1. Lack Of Belief
Do you believe in the reality of psychic phenomena? Do you believe that psychic abilities are real? Hmm, maybe you do. But the real question is: what is it, that your subconscious believes in? If your subconscious doesnt believe that you can see auras, then no matter what you do, you wont see them. Unless you will reprogram your mind into belief. This can be done through affirmations, or intense practice. Think about this: six months of trying to see the aura is exactly the same thing as spending a month on writing down affirmations. Its reprogramming your mind. You may say but I believe. Yes, you are correct. But your subconscious might believe in different thing. For example, your subconscious might believe that seeing auras is impossible. And you wont see them. How can this happened? Well, there are multiple reasons. Maybe you have read a book, in which some wise scientists said that seeing auras is impossible. Or that psychic abilities are impossible? Or, it was a TV documentary, with the same message? Maybe your school buddy were able to see auras, and you were envious about this. Subconsciously, you regret that you cannot see anything, and you have programmed your 59
mind that you cannot see anything. Or even worse, you said to yourself that if you cannot see anything then it doesnt exist and that your buddy was not telling the truth to people. Thats even worse. Maybe you saw something when you were a kid, but your mom told you that you imagined things. You dont want to be a crazy kid. You want to be normal, as every other kid. So the mom is right, you imagined things. And guess what you wont be able to see auras in the future. Not until you will get rid of that bad experience with your mom. Or, maybe you have seen a ghost as a child, and it was such a scary experience that you negated it. Or programmed your mind, that you do not want to see ghosts again in your life. And, in the future, youve learned that seeing ghosts and seeing auras is nearly the same thing. Et voila, no aura view for you. Beliefs must be reprogrammed through affirmations, while negative experiences must be cleansed through emotional healing (core images work). Remember what Jedi Master Yoda said to young Skywalker: - I dont believe it! - That is why you fail. Suggested Affirmations: I can see auras. It is possible for me to see auras. My psychic perception is real. I know that psychic abilities are real.
2. Opinions Of Others
Your subconscious is programmed not just by you, and you only, but also by people around you. Do you believe in the opinions of others? A lot of people think that psychic abilities are just wrong and that they should not be used by anyone. Or that theyre unnatural, and no one wants to be a freak, so no one who consider himself or herself normal, should be willing to develop psychic abilities. If you accept this way of thinking, then your subconscious will consider it as your own opinion. And it will block your development efforts. Psychic abilities are a gift. It is a common (wrong) belief of some people. And if you accept it, then there is no way that youre going to learn psychic abilities consciously, unless you believe that you can receive such a gift. But if you dont consider yourself worthy of such gift, then learning things as I teach them on A State of Mind, is not going to work. Psychic skills are evil, theyre a work of Satan/Devil/negative beings. If youve heard that a lot, and especially when you have accepted this point of view in the past, then its going to block you. Just because you dont want to be evil, or use things that are evil. Youre a good person, after all. Psychic abilities are anti-Christian! If this is something that you have been taught and if you consider yourself to be a good Christian, or Christian at all, then Im sorry, but youre going to fail in your psychic development. Personally, I know few Christians who are pretty skilled psychics. 60
The fun fact is that these beliefs might have been programmed in your subconscious mind long time ago, in the past. Today, your opinions might be different. But that wont change one thing your subconscious, if it still beliefs in the old patterns, will block your current thinking ways. You have to reprogram old beliefs and opinion, and think for yourself, if you want to be a psychic. The beliefs and opinions of others, when they are accepted by you, quickly becomes your opinions and your beliefs. And this is when the problems begins to block your own psychic growth. Once more, affirmations and emotional healing is the path to deal with these things. Suggested Affirmations: I can really develop my own psychic abilities. Psychic abilities are meant to improve my life, and the life of those around me.
4. Financial Issues
Money can be a serious problem for many, indeed. First of all, constant worries about money and material safety create problems on your root chakra. Without good grounding, its hard to achieve proper level of energetics. But this is not the only thing that might go wrong regarding money. What if you dont like the fact that psychics take money for their services. What if you consider this a wrong deed. What if you believe that psychic abilities are true gifts received for free, and that they should be given away for free, as well? In such case, two things might happen. First, you will be worrying about money and it will create financial issues. Second, you wont set psychic development as something worth of your time. After all, you have to 61
spend your day worrying about money. Finally, with such approach dont think that youre ever going to become a professional psychic. Or that you will ever use your psychic abilities on a daily basis. After all, everything you do, might lead to your own gain. How unethical this might be? Or, you might think that its wrong to take money for teaching people about psychic development. In such case, there is no way youre going to accept the fact that I sell a guidebook to psychic development. And, youre not going to stumble upon sources that will help you develop your own abilities. You will stay away from books, courses, workshops and psychic teachers. And finally, if you believe that taking money for teaching people about psychic abilities is wrong, then your subconscious might merge it with your perception of money. And in result, it might tell you (subconsciously), that psychic development is not worth a single dollar. In such case, even if you are provided with free resources (and you are provided with free resources on A State Of Mind), then youre not going to learn much, just because you dont consider something free to be unworthy, or even useless. Suggested Affirmations: I know that psychic abilities development is worth to be paid for. I accept that people charge money for psychic services.
5. Relationship
Relationship and emotions regarding love or friendship are stored within your heart chakra. This chakra is responsible for transferring a lot of positive, spiritual energies. Blockages in this field might be problematic, as well. Generally, every friendship or love problem can create blockages, that can lower the energy flow. Thus, such weak flow might result in problems with psychic abilities and spiritual guidance. But, an interesting blockage example is the following: Have you ever dated a psychic? Well, if he or she broke your heart, then you might feel negative emotions towards all things psychic: other psychics, and psychic abilities, as well. Rarely people think that negative emotions towards your psychic lover might control your psychic development, but they do. You dont want to be the same as your psychic lover who broke your heart. Subconsciously, you think that if you will become a psychic, then youre going to hurt your future lover, as well. Or, there might be that psychic girl in the school that attracts a lot of guys, and you consider her a bad lady (or even worse). Automatically, you might consider yourself to be a bad man just because youre psychic. Of course, you wont become psychic because of such blockage.
6. Knowing Psychics
Even knowing a psychic can cause blockages. You might have bad experiences with a psychic. Maybe, in the past, a psychic told you something that caused you pain, or caused old problems to re-emerge. Instead of dealing with them, as you should have, you have programmed your mind that psychics are causing pain and problems. And if you dont want to cause problems and pain, then you will block your own efforts in psychic development.
62
Maybe you have met a psychic that was just an asshole. Such people happen, too. Meeting one psychic ass when youre not really aware of the reality of the world, might cause another bad pattern to be programmed. Some psychics dont understand many things. When they talk about seeing spirits, they present it as very scary experience. When they talk about psychic empathy, they say its a curse. When they talk about knowing things, they also they would rather not have this gift because its awful. And your subconscious listens. And it records all these bad opinions about psychic abilities. Suggested Affirmations: I know that psychic abilities can improve my life. I know that psychic abilities are safe and pleasant to use.

Celebrity Psychics?
Celebrities are all around us. We have celebrity actors, singers, politics, bloggers, and if youre ready to learn a bit about the Internet, you can become a celebrity plumber (and its not an irony about Ghost Hunters). We have celebrity psychics, as well. Psychics who work in radio, who have their own TV shows, and things like that. Its the old way of becoming famous and making huge money by being a psychic. But today is different. The Internet gives so many great opportunities for psychics these days. You can create your own website, publish e-books, and offer psychic services. And you can get a large group of fans, customers and readers. And you can make a career. In the old days, the only real way to make a career as psychic was to go to a TV station, and become a celebrity. Silvia Brown is a result of such old school approach. What you should understand is that a celebrity psychic isnt the same thing as fake psychic :). There are many famous psychics that are a real deal. Im not a type of celebrity psychic. Im a type of normal psychic who uses different mediums to reach as many people as possible. But dont ask me about TV appearance :).
A Psychic In A TV
Some time ago, yet Im not sure where, Ive read something like this: no psychic will refuse apperance in TV; after all, this is what all psychics want, and there was something about proving that psychics are fake and things like that. Well, what is my opinion about this? Yes, I would like to be famous. I love when people are recommending my website and my books to their friends. I love when someone is referring others to my psychic services. Does it mean that I would agree to appear in any TV show? Short answer is no. Simple because I do not like TV shows that discuss paranormal and psychic phenomena. And I believe that psychic and spiritual growth is not something that should be changed into an entertainment show. Its much more than this. Im not here to prove anything, or entertain people. And I understand the word famous differently than most of these TV show guys. It doesnt mean that I wont appear in TV in the future. It just means that Im not going to appear there to prove anything, or discuss psychic phenomena etc. You know that its much more possible that I will appear in TV as a businessman than as psychic. My teacher told me a story. He was approached by a man who wanted to perform a deChristianization remove the energetic imprints of Christian rituals. Everything was already set up, but the man said to my teacher, One more thing, I would like to invite 64
the TV. When my teacher heard that, he said, No. Just like that. The man in question has found another person to perform the ritual. My teacher didnt want to make the whole ritual (psychic work) into an entertainment show. This is something most people forget about. Psychic work is not a show for your entertainment. Its a way to work with your mind, soul and physical body. And sometimes, its dangerous, or at least problematic for people who receive psychic help.
65
Theres Nothing Wrong With Being Famous There are different forms of success. Some people want to be famous, and personally, I see nothing wrong with that. I would like to be popular, as well (except TV appearance). Maybe you wish to get popular. Know this, you dont have to become popular to be professional psychic, and at the same time, you dont have to feel bad about being popular psychic. I see nothing wrong in this kind of marketing, as long as youre honest with people, and honest with yourself.
66
Dont push too much - if you want to write books, write honest books. Do not make things up, do not lie about channeled messages, do not channel sources of which honesty youre not sure. And remember, when you do share your knowledge and experiences, remember that its your point of view only, and perception is subjective. Explain things - explain how things work from your point of view, explain why things dont work. And network, if you cant explain why something happened, refer people to someone who can. I dont know a bit about Tarot cards, so in most cases, I refer people to my friends who do practice Tarot readings. Accept the fact, that people will wait for your mistake. This is what many people do. They wait for your mistake, so they can have a proof that youre a fake definitely. And because of that, the entire psychic community is a bunch of frauds. Accept it, you cant change it. With these simple advices, you will be a bit safer in the world of professional psychics, and your customers will be much happier. And remember theres nothing wrong in being a celebrity psychic, as long as you remain both psychic and honest person.

Definition Of Clairvoyance
As we can read on Wikipedia: The term clairvoyance (from 17th century French with clair meaning clear and voyance meaning vision) is used to refer to the ability to gain information about an object, person, location or physical event through means other than the known human senses,[1][2] a form of extra-sensory perception. A person said to have the ability of clairvoyance is referred to as a clairvoyant (one who sees clearly). (Source) Actually, clairvoyance is a mean to acquire psychic data as visual data, like I have said already. And thats it, basically. To see images of a different sort that are information about a person, event, place etc., while not using any of your five physical senses, this is clairvoyance. For some people, its the primary psychic sense, others use visual data, as well as sounds, smells and tactile feelings to get a clear information about their target. All of this creates psychic perception.
68
Its best to give an example here, an example with aura view. Lets say youve been taught that auras do not exist and that you cannot see them. Maybe even I taught you this in the past, before I understood things better. Your belief creates such perception filter. And you cannot see auras even if you try. Therefore, you need to reprogram your mind through affirmations and other techniques, to deal with that negative thought patter, that negative belief.
69
Ive spoke to few psychics who admitted that they can see things through their physical sight, and most aura view tutorials are based on teaching how to see things through your eyes. Its safe for me to safe that it is possible to see things with your physical eyes. My advice is simple, though. Do not expect that you will see things physically at first. Do not expect to see things with your inner sight, as well. Expectations might create additional blockages. Just practice, practice, practice. And keep an open mind. With time and practice, clairvoyance will develop.
of Mind, and let things develop on their own. Once a psychic skill awakes, you can develop if further. But do not struggle to learn clairvoyance just because its popular and because everyone uses it. Let things develop on their own, because you might find out that your strongest psychic sense is clairaudience and that you can hear psychic information. Why Is Clairvoyance So Popular? The only reason I can think of is this: clairvoyance is a popular technique, because we are visual people, mostly. Nancy Du Tertre explained this in her book nicely Psychic Intuition. The very first sense that picks up the information is our sight when something is far away, we cant smell it, we cant hear it, or taste it, or touch it. But we can already see it. And because our senses are dominated by our sight, clairvoyance is an obvious answer to which psychic sense will dominate question. This rises an interesting question. Can a blind person learn clairvoyance? Can a deaf person learn clairaudience? Hmm unfortunately, this is a question for you if you know the answer. I do not know, simple because I never worked with blind or deaf person, who wanted to become psychic. Maybe in the future I will learn the answer. For now, its a question for you do you know a blind clairvoyant? You have learned few things that should change your expectations and make your clairvoyance development a lot easier. I hope you have found this article helpful.

through your psychic senses, they will hook themselves, and you will be able to perceive them consciously. Its exactly what I do, when I pick up a random book in my visualized library. I visualize; I keep an intention; and then, I let go. If there is something for me to pick up, I will pick it up, so I can pass it to my customer, for example. The Clairvoyant Laboratory can be expanded into other forms of psychic perception. As I said, psychic information needs to have a hook to attach itself to it, and become a conscious thought that you can perceive. Im clairvoyant, so I attach psychic impressions to images. If you prefer to smell or see or touch, then you need to create such mind-hooks. Visualize a smell or a sound, hear a tune in your head, and then let go. Lets see what can you hear later. When you prefer to hear psychic data, then start humming a tune in your head, and let go. You might hear words, or other tune, or sounds etc, which you need to interpret. When you prefer to smell, recall a memory of a specific smell, and let go. Another smell might appear, and it will require to be interpreted. When youre a tactile person, visualize a touch on your physical body, and let go. Another physical sensations might appear. I talk about clairvoyance because this is what I use for my own practice. Now, how to create and use your own Clairvoyant Laboratory?
73
How To Enter And Leave Your Clairvoyant Laboratory In order to enter your clairvoyant laboratory, you need to take few deep breaths, and relax. Clear your mind, and chill out. Then, simple visualize the laboratory youve created earlier. See the objects, the walls, all the doors etc. In order to leave the laboratory, all you have to do is to open your eyes, and become conscious of your physical world once again. You might want to add grounding and centering skills to your work with the laboratory. As you can see, its very simple. How To Use Your Clairvoyant Laboratory In order to explain how to use your lab, we need an example situation. Lets assume that youre doing a psychic reading for someone. So a customer, lets call him Joe, asks, what is the source of my financial problems? You need to enter your clairvoyant laboratory, and with the intention in your mind, answer the question. Enter the lab, by closing your eyes and visualizing yourself to be standing in your psychic space. Ask a question, what is the source of financial problems of Joe, and start hunting. Relax, and clear your mind, and feel if youre attracted to any object or are of your sacred space. Let go of control, and follow your intuition (it will develop with time and practice of the basic psychic awakening practices). You might be attracted to a room you newer seen before, and see a person there. Ask the person about its name. Lets say a persons name is Emily. So ask your customer if he knows someone called Emily. Maybe shes his ex-wife who took all his money during a divorce? And hes attached to this fact, and he cant let it go, so he attracts more financial problem, hmm? Or, you might be attracted to a book. Open it, and see whats inside. Maybe there is a photo of a car there. And maybe Joe have bought a new care, but in order to do so, he decided to live in a debt. Or, the book might be empty, which can be interpreted not as theres no answer to your question, Joe, but as you have no plans for the future, youre empty, you need to set yourself some goals. Interpretation can be tricky. When the answer is provided, you can leave your lab, and wait for another question. Or end the reading. Dont forget to break the link with your customer when youre done. And with all the objects youve read. I think this should give you the basic idea of how your clairvoyant laboratory works. Its very simple you visualize the lab, you set the intention, and then you let go. All you have to do next is to interpret what you perceive.
Additional Tips
You can continue to program your sacred psychic space. For example, you might intend for things related to the past appear on the right, and things related to the future to appear on the left. While the things related to the present will appear in the middle of your sight. To program your lab in such way, all you have to do is to keep that intend every time you practice in your lab. When you cannot see anything, there are few possibilities. For example, you might need to interpret the empty message :). Or, it might mean that your intuition isnt developed enough, and you need to spend more time with the basics, before you will decide to practice advanced stuff.
74
The Clairvoyant Laboratory technique is a great way to improve your results in clairvoyance. And it can be used for psychic healing (when performing a diagnosis), in chakra reading, in psychic reading and in psychometry practice. Its a useful tool to work with, but as everything, it takes time to master. At first, you might have troubles with visualization and with following your intuition. But keep practicing, and with time, you will get better and better. Psychic abilities are no different from learning any other skill, from a bike ride, to drawing and programming. Remember, this advanced technique like this might not work if you havent finished your basic psychic development practices such as energy work, mind re-programming etc. People tend to jump to advanced stuff right away, and then theyre sad if nothing works for them. Please, dont do this the basics are fascinating, and they can lead to really fast results. And the best part is when youre done with the basics, then the advanced things shall hold no secrets :).

76
Positive things are happiness, love, friendship, creativity, focusing on good things, being helpful to others, smile, altruism etc.
77
religious beliefs. This is true, but its just a part of a wide range of blockages you might have. In reality, you might be blocked by things unrelated to psychic skills, or spirituality. For example: Finances you can have problems related to money and material safety. Or your health. Or your job. For many, it doesnt sound like something related to spirituality, but its important to remember: you are a physical being, and you need material safety. You need to feel safe, and stable. Without a good grounding, that can be found in material goods and moneyrelated issues, its hard to think about developing in any additional field of life. Relationship for example, without money, you might be worried that youre unable to form any kind of relationship. But were human beings. We need others and others needs us. Its normal; its part of life. Problems at any relationship level lead to many problems: sadness, depression, to name the few. Expression we want to feel needed. We want to help others, and we want others to help us. And we want to express ourselves as we want it. When we have money, and we have relationship, we need a way to tell the world what we need. Blockages in the field of creativity, art, communication, and self-expression are also problematic. Emotions - and all the problems lead to negative emotions. If you dont have the job you want; if you cant have the girl you want; if you see nobody appreciates you; when you feel useless; when you have no goals, no dreams; in all these cases, problems results in negative emotions that hurt both you, and people around you. Its all part of life. A lot of New Age followers and illuminated beings forget about this simple fact that spirituality is life, and life is spirituality. You cannot have spirituality without life, and you cannot have life without spirituality. Its all part of big spiritual ecosystem. To learn to make money by doing what you love; to accept that money are tools that allow you to make good things; to learn that sex isnt dirty, but its a sacred beauty; to learn that we can count on others in the time of the need; to learn that theres time for changes and that you dont need to become a vegetarian and stop drinking coffee and bear overnight. All of this is spirituality. When people ask me where to seek spiritual development, I say - in the smile of the girl on the street, and the green leaf of the Oak outside your house. Spiritual development isnt something that cannot be touched. Spiritual development is to live. To live a life you can be proud of. My idea of spiritual development is simple. To appreciate life; to learn that money arent evil, but they can be used to help yourself, and to help others; to achieve happiness; to remove negative attachments. And when youre happy of your life; when youre capable of shaping it as you want it to look like, then you can begin an advanced spiritual practice of Buddhist schools, to achieve the final enlightenment.
Gratitude - the more things youre grateful for, the more things to be grateful are attracted to you. Be grateful for money you make, for people you know, for food you eat. These are simple things, but these simple things are very effective. Meditation, and other practices meditation is a powerful tool that puts your mind at peace and helps you communicate with your higher self. Your mind - finally, your mind is the greatest tool of spiritual growth. Through it, you have access to intuition and spiritual guidance. It can recognize synchronistic events, and coincidences that lead you from point to point, and allow you to grow. There are also other spiritual practices, closely related to specific religions and philosophical systems. Reiki practitioners might prefer Gassho Meditation; Buddhists will use mantras etc. The methods Ive mentioned above are universal and can be practiced by everyone. Your psychic growth would be incomplete, if you wouldnt develop your spirituality, too. Spiritual workers, on the other hand, can focus on self-improvement, and they might never really develop any advanced psychic skills. It is a point of focus. From now on, A State of Mind will publish articles related to spiritual development, but they wont be related to psychic growth anymore. This way, anyone interested in spiritual growth, can learn about it, without worrying about psychic abilities. Spiritual growth allows us to become better people: live a great life, and let others live their great life. In the end, everyone benefits from spiritual practices. And since, in reality, spiritual growth isnt really mystical or religious as some people think, theres no need to avoid it. After all, it can turn your life into a great adventure.

How Can You Benefit From Chakra Reading, Chakra Cleansing, And Energy Healing
The article today is going to teach you two things: first, in regard of attracting wealth, that selfmarketing isnt evil :). But, the important thing is the second things, that is: you should not be afraid of asking others for help when it comes to psychic development. To be exact, you should not be afraid of things like chakra reading, or aura cleansing. Ive noticed that many people do not wish to pay for such services, and its not limited to my website, only, but in general, people seem not to be aware of the benefits some services can give them. Most people dont know that they can benefit from different psychic services. These services can help them learn psychic abilities faster, deal with spiritual problems, and speed up the process of inner growth. And, whats more, often such services performed by others work better than your own psychic or spiritual work. How so? The Problem Is Subjective The problem is when you send yourself Reiki, or when you look at your own chakras, youre not very objective. When youre a beginner, and you do not have a good contact with God (or whatever higher power you believe in), or with your psychic intuition, you might not see the real problems, and your self-healing might not be as effective as healing performed by someone else. In other words, things others can do for you works better than the same things that you do to yourself. For this very reason, I have no problems with asking other psychics and practitioners for help when I need one. I simple use psychic and spiritual services provided by others, such as regressing, or karma cross removal etc. Therefore, I have the benefit of progressing faster than people who do not use help of others and their skills. Because I know that I cant make so fast progress, if I will depend on books, only. Its like changing the 10 years of self-development into 3 years of selfdevelopment with the help of others :). Self-reiki is less effective than Reiki channeled by someone else; but energy healing isnt the only problem with subjective perception and thinking. For example, using a pendulum to answer your own questions (or Tarot cards, or Norse runes, etc.) might not give you the answers you need, but the answers you want. But what you want and what you need isnt the same thing, you might simple lie to yourself. When you need a psychic input, and when youre not well connected with God/higher power/intuition, ask other psychics and practitioners to give you a reading. Now, to make you aware of some benefits, Im going to present some services offered by psychics and spiritual workers.
80
with the chakra reading, you can learn your primary blockages and problems that hold you back in your psychic development, but also in your daily life, from relationship to finances. When youre a psychic practitioner, you might be blocked by many negative thinking patterns, fears and thoughts. The practitioner can tell you what you problems are, and what kind of blockages you should work out. For example with affirmations, or core images work. The same thing applies for spiritual workers if you want to develop on the spiritual level, you need to work out your problems. Blockages and negative patterns are such problems. In my personal case, beside scanning your chakras (reading, scanning, its all the same), I often take a look on the entire etheric body, so I can tell you if any of your inner organs requires some energy healing :). But, this is me. Intuitive chakra reading is safe, and it doesnt hurt. Although, a couple of people told me that when I was performing a reading, they woke up in the middle of the night. Well, I prefer to do the readings when people sleep, because their chakras are normal then. In the daytime, a person can spot chakras to be quite active, and this might blind you from the real chakras state. Intuitive chakra reading is like a diagnostic tool - it allows the practitioner to recognize the problems, and advice further steps. For example, chakra balancing and cleansing.
81
We live in a world full of energetic dust, negative emotions, and energy suckers. We loose energies and we are being planted with negative patterns and energies, too. All the time. And of course, this results in illnesses, emotional problems, physical conditions etc. Intuitive energy healing is a way to get rid of negative energies, and recharge your inner batteries, to feel good, relaxed and healthy once more. When it comes to intuitive energy healing, Im using the power of Reiki, the spiritual energy. Reiki is a form of spiritual healing. It can heal both your physical illnesses and emotional problems. When you suffer from pain or illness, or stress, you can use Reiki to relax, relief pain, and speed up the healing process. In case of most illnesses, Reiki should be used along with classic, Western medicine. This is important to remember no holistic treatment should be performed as stand-alone practice. We need both Yin and Yang to heal the problem, so energy healing should be considered as an additional practice. Most of the people I offer Reiki to, ask for a session at least once a month. And my girlfriend gets a session once a week. This helps her stay energized and relaxed for the entire week.Most of The people You should order intuitive energy healing: At least once a month, so you can get rid of negative energies, relax, and recharge yourself, especially when you live in a city, or work in a stressful environment. You can order the treatment on my services page, or you can find a friendly practitioner in your area, if you prefer a human touch :). When youre ill, because energy healing can speed up your healing process. When you suffer from stress, because in such case, youre out of your energies, or youre going to be soon. Regular healing sessions will not only improve your energetics, but it will also result in improving your mood, health, and can even lead you to new paths of your life. Finally, whats with the intuitive thing? Its simple: nearly every practitioner of spiritual or psychic arts do use his or hers intuitive. Intuitive guides the practitioner, so he knows what to do, where to do, and how to do. Holistic practice is different from classic, material skills or abilities. You do not have the guidebook that guides you, really, because the psychic and spiritual perception is subjective, not objective. Therefore, a practitioner needs to use the intuition to perform the task. The cool part is when youre tuned into your intuition, you will be rarely wrong :).
But if you cannot find such practice, remember that, in this field of knowledge and practice, distant does not matter. And you can order different types of services online, and they will be performed over a great distance. The Matter Of Yin And Yang It is the greatest problem of our world today. People live according to the Western rules; they use technology, and benefit from Western medicine. But this is the Yin side of the coin. There is also the Yang side you cannot live a successful life without the benefits of spirituality. The spirituality can take different forms. From learning forgiveness, to learning the law of attraction and attuning yourself to inspirations regarding the ways of making money. Holistic practices such as energy healing, or chakra balancing, are just part of a wide field of methods, techniques and abilities that can improve your life in nearly every area of it. It doesnt really matter if youre going to order intuitive energy healing, or if youre going to buy some spiritual books. Because what really matters, is the path you walk. As long as it benefits you, and it benefits others, then youre on the right path.Still, Im here, and I offer cool things, so be sure to check my services page :P.

Now, to the actual technique of aura cleansing. Dont worry, it is simple, fast and effective.
85
5. When youre sloping, inhale. When youre grabbing and combing the energies, exhale. The point is not to inhale the negative energies back into your body. 6. Continue the process of grabbing the energies around your entire aura. You can go clockwise, or counter-clockwise. Personally, I cleanse the energies from the front, from left, from right, and from the back, and Im done. 7. When youre done with grabbing, pick up the candle. And comb your aura with it, from the bottom to top, all around you. The fire will be an additional method of cleansing aura. 8. And when youre done, intend to cut yourself from the negative energies, and from the candle. Then, put out the candle, gently. And youre done.
Above: Aura Cleansing Disc Thats how it works. Now, a word of advice - using a candle to comb your aura can be used as a separate method. Whenever you come back from a trip or shopping etc, you can use the point number 7 to cleanse your aura quickly. It wont be as effective as the full technique, but better this than nothing. Personally, for quick cleansing, Im using a psychotronic device, a disk for aura cleansing. You can see a photo of it on the right side. Anyway, the method above can be used as a self-cleansing technique, but a question might appear. You may ask, can you use this technique to cleanse an aura of someone else? I say no. No, because until youre a spiritual worker who really works with higher spiritual energies, then you might add more negative things to someone elses aura, instead of cleansing the aura. But, you can experiment a bit. You may want to cleanse yourself first, and then, try to cleanse someone elses aura. Will it work? Honestly, I dont think so, and my intuition tells me, that the above technique should be used for your own purpose, only. In order to cleanse an aura of others, you should become Reiki practitioner, or Pranic Healer, things like that. Higher vibrations and purer intentions are required in order to work within someone elses aura.
86
Other than that, theres nothing more that you should know. But for your advantage, I will share some additional methods of cleansing aura, submitted by ASoMs readers.
Readers methods
I asked the followers of A State of Mind on Facebook what is their favourite method of cleansing auras. Below are some of the answers. Visualize a mesh net collecting all negative energies from my feet up to my crown chakra ;) Ursula Kirk I swirls my hands around the circumfrence of m energy field and imagine that they are picking up all the impurities there. Works for me. - Christopher Davis I visualize a huge bucket of water being thrown on me from above - Diary of a Psychic Healer As you can see, there are different methods of aura cleansing available. Once again, you need to use your intuition to find out the best technique for yourself. But if youre unable to do so, then dont worry. The technique Ive described is safe and effective. Now, you have learned how to cleanse your own aura. From now on, you should cleanse it at least once a week, and definitely, after each psychic service that you perform. With time, you will notice that you feel better, because you will be getting rid of more and more negative energies that influenced your life once.
87
1. Never practice when you drinked alcohol in the past 24 hours. Make it 48 hours just to be sure :)
Lets say this, alcohol is not very spiritual. It leads to negative physical effects, problems with equilibrium and your inner Chi (life energy). If your stomach came in close contact with alcohol, stay away from spiritual or psychic practices. First of all, if you practice spiritual things while being influenced by alcohol in your blood, youre saying screw that spirituality, I feel good, and feeling good after a stimulant is not a path of spiritual grow. Youre also losing control over your body and mind, and this can lead to energetic problems (these are not pleasant, trust me), or even to getting an attachment from a nasty negative entity. At some point, you might stop drinking alcohol at all, but at first, just remember wait at least 24 hours after the last glass or bottle before you practice anything spiritual or psychic.
88
just as alcohol is a stimulant. Wait few hours between coffee and spiritual work, so coffee will be digested, and your body will get back to normal. Once, I remember that I enjoyed my coffee, and minutes after that, I decided to practice some Core Images Work. Sufficient to say, Ive heard a voice in my head OK, it was more like an intuitive thought. Anyway, it said to me dont, and I knew why, instantly. I just knew that coffee makes bad things to your vibrations and to your mind, so I needed to wait few hours before practicing anything spiritual or psychic.
5. Never practice in a room that has not been cleansed from negative energies
Negative energies can be sucked into you when you open yourself for psychic information that is transferred through psychic energies (in theory, at least). The best place to give psychic services is a room that has been cleansed of negative energies; and the best place to practice psychic abilities and practice spiritual techniques, is a room that has been prepared for this purpose and cleansed of negative energies, too. Make sure that the room is sterile on the energetic level, and it is filled with positive energies, only. If it is not, then cleanse it, but please, do not do anything spiritual or psychic within a room filled with negative energies, unless youre an experienced spirit releaser, or an exorcist. Once, when I opened myself in a room containing a nasty earthbound spirit, for the next couple of mounts, I earned myself an attachment, and I tell you, it wasnt pleasant. Headaches, lack of energy, and attraction towards the dark side of the Force, or black magick, well, its not the best thing that happened to me.
6. Do not practices in a day, when you suffered from a lot of stress, or anger etc. In such case, practice relaxation methods only.
Stress and anger does terrible things to your energy body, and it lowers your energetic vibrations. If you have suffered from stress or anger during a day, then focus on some relaxation technique and calm down, rise your vibrations first. There will be time for spiritual and psychic work later, when youre ready for it. 89
When you perform psychic or spiritual exercises, yet youre angry, or depressed, or stressed out etc, then you send negative intentions, and you do not only attract negative energies, but you also attract negative entities, that might attach themselves to you. And thats not cool. When Im angry, or sad because of something, as sensitive person, I do notice a difference in my own energies. And I can see that I dont have the energy work spend on spiritual or psychic exercises. I dont give psychic services, nor do I work with my mind. I just relax, then go to sleep. I know that I will feel better on the next day.

The eight rules above were larger, but below I have few more, smaller tips. Of course, no drugs - drugs will kill you, sorry :). The choice is simple, either you expand your consciousness with spiritual drugs, or you dig your grave with drugs. And sorry, smoking holy herbs used by shamans and tribe members is not a spiritual growth, its just a piece of bullshit. Light a candle I say this all the time, a source of open flame is very useful, and even mandatory tool for spiritual work. So light a candle. Use incenses, too, if you like. Do not practice when youre ill while some spiritual practices can cause a cold or flu (because sometimes, your body reacts this way for blockages removal, its normal and safe),
90
you should not practice any spiritual or psychic work when youre ill. Your body needs energies for self-healing, and you should not waste your energies for other things. With tips and advices above, you should be far safer in your personal growth. Remember safety rules make sure you will live long enough to learn the things you want :).

Reiki 101, Everything Basic That You Need To Know About Reiki
Ive mentioned Reiki few times on A State of Mind already, but Ive never made an entire article dedicated to this subject. Today, I wish to fix that problem, and provide you with every basic information that you need in order to start your own adventure with Reiki. To start, I have to say, that Reiki is something that I recommend to everyone, no matter of his or hers religion, beliefs, and social status.
What Is Reiki
Lets start with the simplest thing what is Reiki? Reiki is a method of working with spiritual energy. Sometimes, this energy is called Reiki, but it is misleading, as the energy itself does not have name, only the method can be called Reiki. But, we used to say that I channel Reiki, and this is correct. Because this way, we know what kind of energy were working with. The word Reiki itself can be translated as universal spiritual energy. Reiki is a system, to which you need to be initiated. You can become self-attuned, but remember, that Mikao Usui, the creator of the system, lived in XIX/XX-century Japan, and he was a Buddhist. And that he spend give or take 20 years until he achieved his Satori, and learned Reiki on his own. Initiation, so called attunement, is much faster way of becoming a Reiki practitioner. You may find a lot of self-attunement CDs and books and instructions. Please, do not be mislead. 99.9% people living modern lives in modern civilization cannot attune themselves. They need someone else to attune them, really. But its worth it, definitely.
Takata, in order to persuade Americans to Reiki. Takata brought Reiki to USA after the 2nd World War, so you can imagine how could people react for the Japan healing method.
Three Degrees
Ive mentioned that there are three degrees in Reiki practice. First, Second, Third (some teachers divide the third degree into 3a and 3b, first for 3rd degree, second type for teacher training). Now, lets discuss these degrees a bit. First degree is meant to introduce you to Reiki energy, and start your physical healing process. From first degree on, you can channel Reiki to others, and perform this form of psychic healing. You can give Reiki to food, objects, plants, animals and so on. This is the degree that I recommend to everyone. Second degree gives you three Reiki signs to work with. They act as additional tools that support your focus, intention and energy flow. Your energy channels are expanded, and Reiki beings your emotional and spiritual cleansing. From now on, youre on the good path of spiritual growth. Third degree gives you the fourth symbol, sometimes called master symbol, and with enough training, you can initiate others into the practice after the third degree. Third degree is focusing on your spiritual growth, and the fourth sign is meant mainly for your personal meditation and growth. 93
With each degree, the energy within you flows better, and you channel Reiki easier. It is a gentle process of Reiki development. I do not advise taking all three degrees at once, even if the teacher advises that.Wait 3 months between first and second degree, and wait at least a year between second and third degree. This way, you make sure that you wont be hit hard by the cleansing period. Reiki flows better with time. From my own practice, I can say theres a huge difference in the energy flow, and your entire life after few months of work. The more you work with Reiki, the more changes you see and the better the energy flows. Therefore, do not be disappointed if nothing extra-ordinary happens after few months after your first degree. The fun part begins later :).

What Can You Learn About Attracting Abundance By Paying For Psychic Services
Not-so-recent free offer of distant Reiki and chakra reading has showed me one thing, at least people are eager to get psychic services, but theyre rarely willing to pay for them. And this leads me to another question should psychics get paid for their services? Should we turn our skills and knowledge into business? And what about money and spiritual growth? In short money and psychic stuff and spiritual growth can coexists. But, its a bit more complex than this. Paying for psychic services can teach you few things about attracting abundance into your life.
96
Personally, I see psychic abilities as skills that everyone can learn, and everyone can use whether you will take money for it or not, its your choice. But theres nothing wrong in taking money for psychic abilities, really.
A Matter Of A Matter
We live in a material world, please, do not forget about it. Because we are physical beings, we need food and shelter. And we also want to live wonderful, happy life. To do so, we need entertainment, art, goods of a different sort, friends and life partners. This leads to the fact that we would like to go to a restaurant or pub, cinema maybe, that we would like to take a holiday on Hawaii, or visit Great Pyramid and so on. And because of complex economical structure of this world, we need money to do so. In order to understand this better, and learn how to attract money, I recommend reading over the classics of Wallace Wattles The Science of Getting Rich, The Science of Being Great & The Science of Being Well Do not forget about this, no matter what kind of life you want to live, you need money. And money arent bad they are actually tools that can help us live a great life! Theyre not the tools of evil, but theyre tools that can change the world if they are used wisely. As neutral tools, it is your choice that results in good or bad use of money. Through your intention, you can attract a lot of money, and spend them through good actions.
97
All of this creates the value of some sort youre paying for this value, and for the results, which this value will provide. And this applies not just for psychic services, but for anything in the world from money to new car. In reality, its all about the energy exchange.
98
need to ask others to help you. And others, in this modern world, would like to make more money, too. For these two reasons, I always advise to heal the financial issues first. When you accept that money are good and that becoming very, very rich is OK with your spiritual growth, only then you can begin learning other things, as well. If you have bad patters regarding money and abundance, then it doesnt matter who you are and what do you want to do, even if spiritual growth is an after hours hobby. It will be blocked by negative patterns. It was not until Ive healed few financial issues on my own, that I begun to speed up my own psychic and spiritual growth. With money, I got access to courses and workshops, and spiritual services that allowed me to deal with some of my blockages and problems. And I continue to do so, I continue to pay for services and workshop that allow me to walk further down the spiritual growth path. Energy exchange, today the money, is important. If you wish to grow on psychic and spiritual level, you need to understand that everything requires energy exchange. Money are a form of such exchange, so fixing your issues with the money should be your first step towards spiritual growth.

There is a phenomenon, known as 11:11 phenomenon basically, its the thing when you look at the clock, and theres that funny hour, like 11:11, 20:20, 14:14 and so on. Some people think that this is a proof of psychic phenomena, or that has some paranormal or spiritual meaning. But the truth is, its just a proof that you can program your subconscious mind to pay attention to these funny hours, and direct your conscious perception on the clock at the same time when such hour is being displayed. So no, no paranormal stuff, just a proof of how easy your subconscious can be programmed to do things. The more you notice funny hours, and the more fascinated you are by this, the more often you will notice them. Learning this helped me understand not only how to develop psychic abilities further, but how to shut them down, too. This knowledge can be used in learning psychic abilities by noticing coincidences and signs of psychic phenomena, you program your mind to notice these things more. If you want, you can use this in becoming more psychic. To use this knowledge in shutting down your psychic abilities, you need to do things in reverse you need to stop paying attention to these psychic things. This is the exactly same thing that young kids do, when they are told that psychic abilities are just results of their imagination. They ignore signs of psychic phenomena, and with time, they dont even notice psychic stuff happening around them.

down. Dont enjoy psychic experiences, dont seek them, just ignore them, perceive them as something useless. Also, do not perform any psychic readings, do not practice aura view, do not seek ghosts or spirits, do not communicate with entities and so on. Just relax, take a break, just like going for vacation after long months of hard work you dont take your work with you on vacation, do you? Will Blocking Psychic Abilities Block Your Spiritual Growth, As Well? The question above is often being asked by people who wish to shut down their psychic abilities. The answer is no, shutting down psychic abilities wont block your spiritual growth, at least based on my own knowledge and experience. Actually, according to some spiritual growth schools, psychic abilities are nothing more but a distraction on the path of spiritual growth; therefore, shutting them down should even improve your growth. I dont agree with this statement, but I agree that shutting down psychic skills wont block your spiritual development. There is no need to be afraid of this. Yes, both things are connected to each other. Often, spiritual growth results in psychic abilities and vice versa, psychic abilities result in spiritual pursuits and growth. But you can still grow on the spiritual level, you can remove blockages, heal your emotions, and explore your personality, even without using psychic abilities, which, after all, are nothing more than yet another method of perceiving the world around you. At least, in most cases.

Additional knowledge can be obtained from the article about chakras, linked earlier, and more information is available in my book, Psychic Development Simplified, in which every chakra has been described from a psychological and personality point of view. There are many, many sources available both on-line and off-line, some are free, some are paid. I suggest that you should learn as much about chakras as possible. How can this knowledge help you? There is a system of chakra work, in which you develop from the root chakra up to the crown chakra. Thats all. But, examples will be useful. Spiritual growth is like building the house you start with the foundations, then you go for the walls, and the roof is the last to build. You cant build the house by making the roof first, right?
provided, so people could focus on doing other things like improving the creative skills to build better shelter, or grow better food. This is where goals and creativity become important. It allowed the social structure to evolve, so some people could focus on doing other things than hunting or having sex :). They could create innovation, focus on religion or philosophy, invent new devices and so on. The civilization was evolving further, and the third, fourth and fifth chakra became active more people were seeking self-realization, womans were seeking emancipation, and homosexuals could stop worrying. And today, humanity, with all the basic needs met, seek spiritual and psychic development, as the last two chakras are becoming active. This is the evolution of the civilization. And this is the way everyone should proceed with spiritual growth. From the basic needs, to spiritual needs.
The problems of our personality and ego, dreams and goals, hobby and work, all of this must be fixed and worked out. Working with these things is your next step on the path of spiritual growth. The Heart And when all these things are worked out, youre a safe human, with shelter, food, mate and goals. But being human means you also feel, you feel higher emotions peace and anger, love and hate. Many people have problems with their emotions. They have problems with friendship, honesty and, of course, love. Problems of the heart chakra must be worked out, until you move further. Emotions are part of our life, and love, the most powerful emotion, is the key to further growth. When chakras 1-3 are OK, its time to deal with the emotional layer of being human. The Throat When negative emotions and issues related to your heart are fixed, you must express your true self. This can be done through your throat chakra, through which we communicate, and we express all of the things that exist within us. Fears, imbalance, shame and problems with communication are only few examples of the things that relate to the throat chakra. Fix them you must, in order to move further. The Third Eye & The Crown And when this is done, you begin to work with your third eye. You heal the problems related to mind your IQ and thoughts, your beliefs and intellect. Then, you begin work on healing your intuition, and with a new tool, an open third eye, you make another step towards exploring your inner self. From that on, you move to the crown, and you work out all issues related to the spirituality. And that is what I call spiritual growth. Read about first chakra, and identify the problems that you may have, regarding the first chakra. Fix them, and then check if there are more problems there. Use affirmations and core images and other methods, as well, to identify as many problematic issues related to your root chakra. When you cant find anything more, move to the next chakra, and work it out the same way. Thats how you can work with all seven chakras.
If you want to develop your inner self, at least try the above system. Start from the root chakras issues, and move up. You dont have to believe in chakras. Just read what they represent regarding psychology and personality, and with this knowledge, you can identify the which of your issue is lower, and which is higher this knowledge is enough for your spiritual development to be steady and conscious.

(especially when used along with centering technique), and youre able to think clearly about the contract youre about to sign. No matter who you are and what you do on a daily basis, grounding is very useful skill, that doesnt require too much psychic skills, really.
Now, that you know these few additional things, lets discuss passive grounding.
example, a businessman, you may wish to play computer games or become interested in spiritual stuff, just to stop thinking about doing business. This can be really, really helpful. Other Grounding Activities Getting a cup of coffee, going out for a beer, cooking dinner or having sex, these are only few examples of small grounding activities. In short, shift your focus to something that connects you with manual work and physicality, and one way or another, you will be grounded. Such grounding knowledge is useful for psychics, spiritual workers and even those, who have too much on their head (thats 90% of worlds population, I guess). Grounding should be performed whenever you feel that youre losing focus: during or after work; during psychic activities; before and after spiritual work; in a stressful time, and so on. And remember, these few techniques that Ive mentioned above are only few examples. You may find or develop another technique that will work better simple because it will suit you. And once you have a good method of grounding in your reach, stick to it. And use it whenever you need.
