How-To Psychic Exercises

Every single person on this planet has psychic abilities. There is not a single person who doesn't. The difference between people who are "psychic" and people who are not is often just a matter of practice. Obviously there are people who are naturally more tuned-in to psychic wavelengths than others, but there are also many other psychics who simply practice their abilities with regular "how-to psychic exercises." In other words, you can develop your own psychic abilities with do-it-yourself psychic exercises.

While the idea of do-it-yourself home repair may sound perfectly normal, the idea of how-to psychic exercises may seem strange. But in reality, these psychic exercises are very simple and can be done very easily in public without anyone noticing what you are doing. Here are two how-to psychic exercises to get you started: the perimeter game and the come-along game.

** 1. The Perimeter Game **

As a how-to psychic exercise, this game is a cinch. In this game you basically set up an energetic or psychic perimeter around yourself in a public place. Just close your eyes and imagine an energy circle surrounding you. You then notice, without using your eyes, whenever someone steps inside that perimeter.

To play this game, at least once a day (not while driving) establish a 10' to 20' energetic perimeter around you. Do this in a public place such as a park, restaurant, outdoor café, or bus stop. Closing your eyes, tell yourself to notice when anyone enters your perimeter. When you sense that someone has entered your energetic circle, open your eyes to confirm it. Gradually you may increase the size of your circle. You'll notice that the more you practice this psychic exercise the more sensitive your psychic abilities will be.

** 2. The Come-Along Game **

This how-to psychic exercise is also simple and you just need to take a few minutes at the start of your day to set it up. Once each day make a plan attract an event into your life today. In other words, focus on something and make it "come along" into your life. Choose a word, event, or topic, perhaps a even specific person-either a simple one, such as "cherries," or more complex one like the Berlin Wall or the Beatles. You could also choose a specific song that is rarely heard, such as "Wildwood Flowers" or "On Top of Old Smokey." You can even give the Universe a command such as, "Bring me cherries today." Then see if that topic shows up in your life today. You may come across it in a newspaper or magazine, in overhearing someone else's conversation, or in a movie. Stay open to the possibilities and, as always, thank the Universe when your chosen topic shows up!

Learning Without Struggle

Schools, churches, authority figures, parents and friends influence us in ways we aren't even aware of! One of the main ways that they influence us is by teaching us the old adage, "no pain, no gain." With their help, we have all become quite accustomed to believing that we must experience struggle and pain to succeed or create in this world. This belief is so common that, for most of us, it is the lens through which we view our world – a lens of which we are hardly aware.

Luckily for those of us who are tired of struggling, this Earth School has very flexible rules. In fact, we make our own rules. What does that mean? It means that if you want to learn and create without struggle, you only have to inform the Universe of your decision. If you never want to learn another lesson through pain and struggle, just tell the Universe that you'd like to learn exclusively through pleasing experiences.

We have a friend who, whenever he asks the Universe for help or assistance, tells the Universe to bring him the results in pleasing ways that he can easily understand. And does he struggle? Not much! He lives the most peaceful life we have ever witnessed, and he does it all by choice.

So the next time you ask the Universe for some result or some lesson, add the caveat that you do not wish to struggle or experience pain. Then, get ready to have fun and experience some really wonderful times. Good luck!

The Beauty of the Navajo Beauty Way

For almost three decades I have been practicing and using the Navajo Beauty Way as a form of magical practice. Used by the Navajo tribe when they were being moved from their native lands onto reservations, the Beauty Way (in various forms) has actually been used in tribal traditions from very ancient times. It is an incredible magical ritual that helps you connect with higher powers and beings and restore a state of inner peace and harmony. It is also a form of "magic spell work in action" that can be done without great effort but to great effect.

We have introduced the Navajo Beauty Way to many of you in articles covering Day Greetings and Day Endings, and the Walking Litany. We hear from people all the time how the effect of this 3 part ritual is truly magical. Participants have all kinds of magical interactions, and learn to see magic in many new ways. The effect has been so strong from those we've heard from, that I definitely want to introduce it to more people. Hence, this blog post!

The Beauty and Magic of This Ritual
Before I dive into the "how," I want to give you the "why" for the Beauty Way. In other words, what does the Beauty Way do for you? Here's a list to get you started.

The Navajo Beauty way is a non-denominational set of exercises from very ancient times, designed to:

• Restore personal power through developing trust in one's wisdom gained through personal experience
• Enhance creative flow and one's connection to the environment and nature's laws and forces
• Help us learn new skills and use new tools for observing and maintaining harmonious and pro-active inner states
• Develop a practical working relationship with higher powers and beings or natural forces and laws
• Create stability and choice in walking in different realities and worlds.
• Being safe and protected without the need to build walls or hide behind masks.
• Establish and maintain contact with higher powers and beings or natural forces and laws so as to live in compliance with and gain support in our creative endeavors.
• Maintain spiritual integrity for individuals or groups during times of high external change and stress.
• Preserve cultural and spiritual identity beyond the efficacy of sociological myths in times of breakdown, and restructuring of communities, tribes or nations.
• Restore the balance both internally and externally between the feminine aspect of integration and oneness, and the masculine aspect of separation and duality.

Powerful magic, isn't it?

Dive Into the Beauty Way
So history lesson aside, let's dive right into the Beauty Way. There's no sense in knowing about a magical ritual if you can't use it, right? The Beauty Way has three different forms:

1. Exit Ritual
2. Day Greetings and Endings
3. Walking Litany

We'll start with the simplest form, the Exit Ritual. The Exit Ritual helps us connect with higher powers and beings multiple times during the day. Connecting us with powers and beings is useful because they can help us get back into that feeling of peace and serenity. They exist at a higher level than we do, so it's often easier for us to ask them for help rather than trying to do it all ourselves. The Exit Ritual also realigns our chi or life force, which can become distorted from working and living in buildings with strong electromagnetic fields.

How to Do the Exit Ritual
To do the Exit Ritual, follow this procedure every time you leave an enclosed space such as a car, building or house:

1. Extend your focus up into the sky and say aloud, "Sky Above." The reason we extend our focus first is that the Exit Ritual is a form of asking favor from powers and beings so it is appropriate that we go to them rather than asking them to come to us. In ritual, when we have carefully prepared sacred space, we can invite them in and then bid them farewell.

2. While keeping your awareness above, extend your focus into the earth and say aloud, "And Earth Below."

3. Then, keeping awareness of both above and below, say aloud, "I Greet You."

4. Wait a moment and see what happens. Be alert for acknowledgement or response in one of these three ways:

- From within you, such as a realization, a change of attitude or belief, a new awareness.

- Changes in your environment, such as a sudden breeze, a change in the color of the sky, a bird or animal suddenly appearing visually or vocally, or a tree or shrub suddenly becoming vividly visible.

- A response from Sky and/or Earth: a special message for you, an answer to a question, or guidance and new directions.

5. What happens may happen in just that moment, or it may happen throughout the day. It may change the quality of your day, your awareness...whatever you notice. You may also want to use hand gestures: Arms raised in a upward facing V for "Sky Father" and arms down in a downward facing V for "Earth Mother."

Sound good? Dive right in. Have issues, questions, or comments? Post a comment to the blog. We love hearing about magic!

Why Free Magic Spells, Rituals, and Tools Often Backfire

Need a little magic in your life? Who doesn't?

Look no further than the internet and Google for an unending source of free magical spells, rituals, and tools. The internet has been a real boon for connecting magical practitioners from all over the world, which is absolutely great. There are plenty of free spells, rituals and other magical how-to guides out there. The fact that they are free is a plus because not everyone is looking for an intense apprenticeship in magic. The only problem is that a lot of these free spells and rituals either backfire or don't work.

Hundreds of people who have tried these free online magic spells, rituals, and tools email us every week. Why? Because the spells and rituals they used have either made their lives worse or the spells flat don't work. The fact is that while magic is real and spells often do work, most of the spells and rituals found online are too generic to work well in certain situations.

There are three things you should know about the magic spells, rituals, and tools you find online:

1. Safe Spells
Responsible practitioners will often publish only the safest and most generic magic spells and rituals online. These spells are safe for almost everyone to use and tend to "fix" small life problems but are fairly powerless against big or complex problems. You can cast these spells as often as you want, but the results usually won't have "big bang" effects.

2. Unintended Consequences of Spells
Some less-responsible practitioners freely offer more potent spells, rituals, and tools to the general public. These spells and rituals are often far more powerful but, if used incorrectly, can have devastating effects. One of our students used a free online money spell and the results were both great and tragic. She got the money she wanted. The only problem was that the money came from her husband's life insurance policy, and he died three weeks after she cast the spell. Powerful spells without limitations (specifying, for instance, that no one die as a result of this spell) can often lead to disaster.

3. Spell Interference
It's not unusual for magic spells and rituals to encounter interference, either from other people or from your own belief systems. To "make room" in your life for spells and rituals to work, you often have to engage in other practices such as meditation or yoga to quiet your inner landscape. If you don't, the spell or ritual will often become stronger and stronger, which can cause it to backfire. We've had to help some people take down backfiring spells for this reason. Until they were taken down, the spells were affecting the health, bank account, or relationships of the spell casters.

Many of the magic spells, rituals, and tools you find online can really enhance your life, but if you find yourself in a bind because either the spells and rituals are not working or they are wrecking your life, stop everything. Find a practitioner to help you sort out what is going on and decide whether you need to take down the spell or use a different set of magical tools.

One Simple Way to Improve Your Psychic Development

Everyone has the ability to be psychic, but some people just naturally are in tune with their psychic abilities and some have to "learn how to be psychic". That is they need to practice skills that will put them in touch with their psychic abilities and develop them. The "As above, so below" principle of magic is useful when one needs to learn how to be psychic. This principle basically says that when we change one part of our being, every part has to change to match it. With this in mind, using some form of moving practice can be helpful. If you move your body, you also move your mind and spirit. When learning how to be psychic you have to be able to change the way you think and how your spirit perceives the world. Doing a moving practice also engages your moving center which is an important part of the direct body-to-spirit connection and helps to short circuit the negative emotions and doubts that may intrude on you receiving psychic information

Types of Moving Practice
There are many types of moving practice that can be used to successfully change the way your body and thus your mind and spirit work. Examples are:

• yoga
• tai chi
• stretching exercises
• running
• walking

The more a practice increases the body's flexibility, the more flexible the mind and spirit become. For this reason, choosing a practice that involves increasing flexibility in the body will allow your mind and spirit to adapt more readily to receiving psychic information and create less resistance. When the body moves, so does the mind and spirit and the body registers all that happens in the mind and spirit. Physical stretching such as done in yoga is beneficial.

Self Observe
As you begin doing your moving practice, start noticing areas of resistance in your life created by conflicts between mind and spirit or what you think and what you actually know. Look for conflicting beliefs or any situation where you feel irritation, anger, nervousness, anxiety, depression or just moody. Once you identify these situations, ask your spirit guides to help you through acceptance. Notice when you have a negative emotion what your body is doing. Are you pacing, making a face, tensing up somewhere in your body, twitching? Take a few moments to passively self observe and then work on stilling your physical response by making your internal reaction passive. This will help with making your body more flexible.

Cross Crawling
Cross Crawling is a type of moving practice that most people can easily do without learning a lot of different poses and steps. Here's how it's done:

• get down on the floor on your hands and knees
• begin to crawl across the floor with your opposite hand and knee striking the ground at the same time (ie- right hand, left knee; then left hand, right knee)
• keep crawling moving very deliberately for up to 10 minutes

That's it, simple right? This technique creates a dual sensation that rebalances the two sides of your brain. Since your brain is the physical analog for your mind, rebalancing it leads to a rebalanced mind. Be sure that if you crawl in a circle, you go in both directions. Cross crawling can actually change the chemical balance in your body and realign your energy flow.

You can learn how to be psychic by developing your spirit abilities, living in personal power and beginning to access information that you can't possibly know through your five senses.
