I will be typing up some excerpts from a book that I use a lot that gives me great ideas and tips on psychic development...it will begin at beginner level and work up to more advanced skills. I hope someone finds something useful to them in this somewhere!
(Remember, nothing is carved in granite about any of this and if you have suggestions or ideas of your own...add them here as this is intended to be an open and learning forum for all of us, myself very much included! Please comment and respond to the content in any way if you feel led to!)



KEEPING A PSYCHIC JOURNAL

One of the best ways to develop your psychic skills is to record your insights, ideas, dreams. amd observations in a special notebook. This can help train you with a reference base to help you to keep track of your progress and problems. You might like to start by asking yourself the questions at the end of this passage in order to direct your psychic growth. There could be things on the list that you are trying to over come, achieve, or improve. Keep the notebook by your bedside; this way you can record whatever dreams you have as well as your day-time thoughts. Before going to sleep each night, review the day's events, recalling not just your own feelings and experiences, but the reactions of others. Avoid getting caught up in the emotions of any situation - stay objective (as much as any human can be!). Keep asking yourself questions. How do people respond to you and what energy from you attracts that response? Be honest in your assessments - that way you will achieve the necessary overview for success in psychic work.

Journal notes: Food for thought....

One very good reason to develop your psychic abilities is because they may be able to change your life for the better. Therefore, you should give some thought as to what needs changing. The questions below are really prompts to start you thinking along the lines of your ultimate goal(s).

>What have you always wanted?

>What gives or will give you the most pelasure?

>What do you spend your time thinking/wishing about the most?

>What behavior in others do you most admire but feel is lacking in yourself?

>Is there anything that you were deprived of as a child that you still yearn for?

>Is there a difference between the things/people you value and the things you think most about - and how do you go about changing this?

> What are your priorities? What are you doing about them?

> What beliefs would help you to experience more fun, trust, and joy? And help you deal with anger, fear, and grief?

> What is preventing you from making the necessary changes to become the person you really want to be?


Here are some important guidelines to think about:

(The Golden Rules)

Never offer psychic insights unless you are asked for them.

Don't exaggerate your psychic capabilities.

Under no circumstances manipulate or try to control others through or by them.

Never tell someone when or how you think he or she will die.

Avoid judging or condemning someone else's behavior.


~having these guidelines in your journal is a good idea to remind you to use your psychic abilities ethically, wisely, and with responsibility~
