Developing Your Clairvoyant Abilities? Don't Doubt Yourself

By Paul B Dickinson

The topic of clairvoyance is one of the most controversial subjects in the world. The reason is that for all people, it challenges their beliefs and understanding of life, religion, and the universe. Medical science has discovered so much about the human brain but there is still a large part of it whose function remains unknown. Many people believe that be a clairvoyant free of misconception, that one is harnessing the power of a sixth sense that originates from this unknown region of the human brain.

Most of us have a hint of clairvoyance within us-even if we don't know it. For a few "natural" clairvoyants, there is even more than a hint. It is a gift and ability that jumps out and cannot be hidden. But for most of us, it takes a little training and development to discover how to find and cultivate our sixth sense and relieve ourselves of doubts that cause us to question the gift.

The first major block to clairvoyance is disbelief. If you do not purpose to believe in anything psychic or paranormal, you will no doubt block any innate abilities you might possess. You will never be able to develop them because you don't believe they exist.

Perhaps disbelief can be attributed to not fully understanding what it means to be clairvoyant. People who are clairvoyant have a natural ability-often called a 'sixth sense'-and are able to see or experience things that are not happening directly to them but are happening to someone else somewhere else. It usually comes as a flash of a vision or a premonition of danger regarding something that will happen in the future. It may also be a flashback to something that occurred to someone else in the past. Or it could be happening simultaneously but nowhere near the clairvoyant so that the clairvoyant has no other means of discerning that this is really happening. For instance, you may have heard stories of people who changed their plans due to a clairvoyant vision and escaped tragedy as a result.

So to develop any clairvoyant abilities, you must first open yourself to an all-encompassing awareness of the universe around you and the possibilities. You must remove any skepticism. You must choose to believe. And one way you can prepare your mind to do this is to practice meditation and begin to experience the 'oneness' of the universe.

The universe is really one great continuum. All things are related and interconnected. What happens in one place affects everything else in some way. When you learn to attune your spirit to the energy of the universe, you can begin to experience more than the conscious mind typically allows.

As you develop this new awareness, you should know that you may first experience small glimpses that you cannot really decipher. Perhaps it will be a feeling or an emotion, a flash of an image, or a new sound. You are beginning to become a part of the universal continuum. Accept it and continue to practice meditating and increasing your awareness.

To be a successful clairvoyant belief is everything, for if you have any shadow of doubt, you will not be able to progress to the level of the complete clairvoyant free from worrying what they see, or feel, or hear being only in their imagination.

In our society, it is sometimes difficult to accept that we may have any clairvoyant abilities at all. Certainly we were never encouraged to think so in our upbringing. Rather, the focus of our education was on concrete objects and verifiable facts or equations, not fanciful thoughts or imagination.

Nonetheless, that freedom of imagination and openness to receiving whatever may come is what is necessary to become a clairvoyant free from doubt and misgivings. It is what opens the mind to receive the clairvoyant gift. Initially, you may need to work to achieve a trancelike state of meditation that gets you to the place where you can receive any messages. Later on, you will be able to enter this state more quickly. Perhaps at some point the material world will cease to exist momentarily as clairvoyant visions come unannounced.

A clairvoyant free from distractions and the "politics" of life will be able to perform much more efficiently. It is important to have complete harmony around you. If there is anything that you feel is disharmonious, you need to cleanse yourself of it. If it is an object, get rid of it. If it is a person, avoid them. Any distractions will subtract from your ability to practice your clairvoyance.

Then learn to believe in your abilities and gifts. By believing, you will open yourself up to receiving. And in receiving you will become even more confident in your clairvoyant abilities.

Other tools can help people develop their clairvoyant gifts, as well. Tarot cards and scrying are two such methods. These teach techniques of interpretation and concentration important to the development of clairvoyance.

To be a true clairvoyant is a gift. Many well-known and famous people speak with clairvoyants to access their insight before making important life decisions. Some clairvoyants even become famous for their remarkable insights. If you have the gift, embrace it and use it to help others. - 31877
