We are all psychic but to varying degrees. Even psychic skills face logical limitations; some people are just more sensitive, sensitive in different ways, and more talented than others. Everyone can run, but some people run faster, longer, and with more grace than others. With training, you can improve and maximize the psychic skills you have, just like improving your speed, endurance, and grace as a runner.
Sometimes psychic gifts remain dormant until a specific trigger moment, like a near-death experience, or they are found through concentrated efforts at meditation and mindfulness work. There is also a wide range of talents, from simple intuition to channeling other entities to animal communication and on and on.
This article will talk about living life with psychic awareness turned on.
Psychic awareness can manifest in very distinct ways, like having the ability to hear spiritual voices (clairaudience) or get psychic messages off objects (psychometry). Sometimes we can be more psychically aware under duress or in certain situations, like fight or flight adrenaline pumping into our systems when we are scared or excited.
But more generally, psychic awareness is about being “attuned” in the same way you might have a strong sense of smell or be able to hear at different decibels than most people. Moving through life with your psychic awareness turned on can be both helpful and distracting, depending on how you manage the awareness.
If we discover we have one of a very special kind of talent, we may want to be able to turn the ability on and off, rather than dim or increase it. Picking up psychic messages from objects, turned on all the time, at a high level, would make touching every doorknob a constant source of images and information. It would get overwhelming very quickly.
However, developing and keeping your “6th Sense” on and adjusted can be one of the best ways to get through daily life with more success and fewer frustrations. First and foremost, you must realize that you do have psychic awareness, just by the default of having a psyche. How much you have or use or can access will differ from person to person. Before you can adjust the dial, you have to know where the dial is and what it controls.
Oddly enough, determining psychic awareness really does begin with accepting you have a 6th sense, which is your psychic sense. Like living next to a landfill, over time your sense of smell can be dulled by the extreme odors to the point where you “don’t smell” the waste unless it is a hot and humid day. For most of us, the constant bombardment of information through technology can really scramble our potential psychic awareness.
Couple the information overload with a consistent message that psychic phenomenon is malarkey and it’s no wonder most people would say, “I am not psychic”. Granted, usually, people mean they do not have one of the stronger and more pronounced skills, but this statement also locks down any general or available 6th sense talent they could use while navigating daily life.
The best way to access psychic awareness is by learning to center yourself, which can be done through mediation, a specific body movement routine (like Tai Chi), breathing techniques, and the use of patterned sound (tuning forks or a singing bowl). Once you have centered, which means, coming into yourself, then you can begin to reach out psychically and allow yourself to sense your environment with your 6th sense instead of the other five.
Another excellent way to access psychic awareness is to ground yourself, which can most easily be done by taking your socks and shoes off and standing barefoot on the earth. Direct contact with the ground, with the intention to ground, will allow you to slow down your mental state enough to open your psychic awareness.
Centering and grounding can open your psychic awareness, but re-entry into the distracting world can close the awareness off rather quickly, and usually for your benefit. It is important to realize that you are probably shielding yourself naturally because psychic awareness in our electronic age can prove painful, in the same way, sensitive skin can feel painful when you do not feel well.
You want to do centering and grounding in places and at times when you can enter and exit the process without being jarred in and out of the experience. As you improve your ability to center and ground under safe and controlled conditions, you can begin to develop faster and simpler techniques in ever-increasingly “noisy” places until you feel like you have the awareness permanently turned on, but at a very low level.
You want to get to the level of development where you have your psychic awareness running at all times so you can turn it up and down without having to turn it on and off, which takes a good deal more energy. Having your psychic awareness turned on, even at a low level, extends your energy field so you can sense the energy around you further out from your center.
Being able to sense a wider arc from your center can help you be aware of how to move through crowded spaces more easily or feel psychic pressure before it gets into your field and causes a disturbance. You can more easily avoid people and places that have negative energy and attract or go towards people and places that have positive energy.
You will also find it easier to put up and hold psychic and emotional boundaries and feel when people are trying to get into your psychic space when you do not want them too. Improving your psychic awareness can help you enhance your psychic sensitivity when you want to be more attuned or reduce it when you need to be protected.
