Meditation is the tool used to open/expand the spirit as you use the mind to quiet the body to address the spirit.  As you do deep breathing exercises it calms the body, then the spirit can attune itself to the spirit realms.

Meditations and exercises are available for those seeking psychic/mediumship skills.

thank you guys for all of the awesome advice!

Yea, back then I used to do the same thing, try forcing it to happen.  NOPE that does not work!  Sit, relaxed, lose your attention and become subjective.  Make sure no disturbances around, other wise, in subjective state, you might get brainwashed/hynotized.  Sit, relax, it will come when the conditions are met.  Yep, it gonna take a while for you to figure that out.... ...patience patience...

Hi Sheely9,

There are many layers to our minds. The first to be aware of is:

The Sub-Conscious Mind

The Conscious Mind

The Super-Conscious Mind

Growing to understand the nature of each will help you understand the nature of your intuitive knowings. Spend some time observing your thoughts. Look at yourself thinking and say "I am using my sub-conscious right now", or, "I am having a super-conscious moment".

To be clear...

The sub-conscious mind is: any thought that is an energy pattern. This includes what you may have eaten for breakfast, a memory from last year, or any thought and experience that has already occurred. Once the moment has passed, it has impressed an energy upon your mind and is now a sub-conscious thought. Many live in the impressions of their sub-consciousness for most of the time.

The conscious mind is: What we are aware of in the present moment. Only what is emerging and occurring right now that we are paying attention to.  The Apex of Creation.

The super-conscious mind is: your own highest nature, uncluttered by sub-conscious impressions. All knowing is at your command in this state. All intuition flows from this aspect of our selves.

The reason we do not naturally reside in our super-conscious states is the clutter and activity of the energy field around us, caused by our own lack of awareness. If a person is worrisome about the future, they are projecting energies. If someone is worrisome about the past, they are congesting their energies. They are fully surrounded and swimming in congested energies which cloud their super-conscious selves. The way to lift above the cloudiness is to practice being aware of awareness.

Turn awareness back on to itself.

It is taught to me, by Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, that growing into super-conscious life, is a natural process of spiritual growth and attentiveness toward dharma. Psychic abilities are not the end which you seek. Union with your true highest self will result naturally in super-consciousness. Reach for this state and all else will follow.

Om Shanti
