8 Ways to Begin Awakening Your Psychic

Abilities
Awaken Your Psychic Abilities
by Gordon Rosenberg
You can learn powerful and effective ways to develop your own psychic abilities and use them
for awakening your higher consciousness. With greater knowledge of these innate skills,
relearned by exercises such as presented in this article, you can become the multidimensional
being youre intended to be. By connecting with all parts of yourselfnot just the visible human
partyou can remember why youre here and the gifts you have to share with this world.
Everyone has the ability to channel psychic energy for the benefit of self and many. By the term
psychic energy I mean that force which comes to us from beyond our physical world to help us
integrate all our parts and express them in this third dimensional reality. Use the force, Luke.
Yes, thats pretty much the force of which Im speaking, though it can be used in much more
conceivable and practical ways than those Luke had to learn.
Reawakening Psychic Abilities Will Change Your Life
When I began in the 1980s learning psychic opening with those who had walked that path before
me, I recognized immediately that I did indeed have innate inner skills which had been dormant

and waiting for me to rediscover them. I knew instantly that I had always carried within me the
ability to sense energy with my hands, for instance, and that I could learn to feel and see in and
around me with more than my physical senses.
I realized that no matter what I had spent my previous years on this planet believing that I could
or couldnt do, none of that was relevant any longer. Clearly I could do and feel things that I had
not learned this lifetimemeaning that I had either brought these skills with me or they were part
of this world available to all who seek them, or both. Either way, learning to reawaken my
psychic abilities changed my life dramatically for the better, and showed me that everyone can
live here with more awareness and honest expression of their hidden gifts.
You Can Learn to See and Feel Other Dimensions
I should say here that when you begin accessing your natural psychic abilities, you may notice
changes happening in your life. This may be due to a change in your perception about the nature
of life itself. It may also come from other people around you actually changing to accommodate
your picture of reality, as one of my psychic advisers explained it. You see, we really do
determine much of our own reality in this world, and a shift in ones focus can bring many
changes to ones life. You will need to determine for yourself if youre ready or willing for that
shift to happen.
Everyone has dormant psychic abilities which can be developed and used for expanding a
persons field of reference. This means that you can learn to see beyond the third dimensional
(3d) world in which we live; to literally see a world which exists inside us as well as beyond 3d
awareness. The primary reason to learn to see a new plane of reference is to become more aware
of the changes happening in your life, and to work with those changes to generate a more
productive and conscious human reality.
8 Beginning Exercises for Opening Your Psychic Abilities
Heres a set of wonderful beginning exercises for reawakening your own psychic, or intuitive,
abilities. I provide each with a concise description of how to do it, and I encourage you to seek
additional guidance. Keep in mind that these are only points of beginningtheres much to learn
and practice when opening in this way. I recommend that, if at all possible, you work with a
skilled teacher in person or online. And take it slowly at first, theres no rush to expand your
consciousness and rediscover your true gifts. Let it happen at the appropriate pace for you.
When doing each of these exercises on your own, its helpful if you sit for a moment and relax
first, and close your eyes when it feels appropriate. And when you finish, take some time to get
back in your body before getting up and returning to the physical world.
1. Feel an energy ball with your hands. Hold your hands out in front of you, about 18 inches
apart, palms facing inward towards each other. Imagine you can feel a ball of energy between
them. When you start feeling something there, move your hands in and out and see if you can
continue to feel it. Vary the distance apart, and size of the ball, from basketball, to baseball, to
exercise ball, etc., maintaining the sensation of the energy.

2. Grounding cord into the earth. Imagine a cord running from the top of your head down
through your spine to your feet and into the earth. See with your inner eye this cord running deep
down into the earth, anchoring you to the planet. Sense the energy of the cosmos flowing down
through this cord as far into the planet as you can visualize it. You may feel a sense of peace,
knowing youre grounded and connected to both the planet and the universe.
3. Earth star above and below you. Again with your eyes closed, imagine theres a small star a
foot or two above your head, and another one the same distance below your feet. Imagine light,
or energy, flowing from the upper star to the lower one, as if you can sense universal energy
connecting you with sky and earth. Let the energy flow back and forth, both ways, through your
body and your being.
4. Sensing the aura. Heres one you can do with yourself or with another person. Imagine you
can hold your hands out away from your body or that of another. Feel your palms sensing energy
around the body. You may feel heat, or tingling, or other sensation. Move your hands around and
see if you can retain the sensation. If working with another, see how far you can move away
from the person and still feel the sensation. Youre feeling the presence of the aura, the human
energy field.
5. Opening and closing the third eye. With your eyes closed, let yourself see your third eye area,
the brow chakra just above and between the physical eyes. See how open this area is or isnt.
Give it a percentage if you can. If its not very open, imagine it opening slightly more, perhaps
10 or 20 percent more. Experiment gently with opening and closing it different amounts, and see
what feels comfortable for now. Is it more comfortable opened further, or less? You may feel
some sensation there. For now, set this chakras opening somewhere within your comfort range.
6. Adjust all the body chakras. Visualize your chakras, one at a time, traveling from the root
chakra at the base of the spine up to the crown chakra at the top of the head. Stopping at each one
along the way, see each chakra, first at the front and then at the rear (yes there is a front and back
to chakras.) As you did with the third eye above, imagine each chakra opening and closing.
Imagine what percentage each is open, and experiment with different amounts. Set each chakra
where its comfortable to you before moving on to the next. When you finish at the top of the
head, imagine your entire body feeling centered and balanced, all the chakras working in perfect
alignment with each other to transmit universal energy freely through the body.
7. Seeing/sensing energy blocks in the body. Sitting peacefully by yourself, with eyes closed,
begin to look at your inner body. Imagine you can see whats happening inside. You may see
visions of actual processes occurring, or what you believe to be going on. Or you may see colors,
or patterns of movement, representing energy flow. Imagine you can see places where this
energy is not flowing freely. It may appear as a dark color, or stagnant motion, or in another way.
There may even be some sort of message there. When you find these blocked places, see if you
can improve the movement of energy by bringing your awareness to those spots. Imagine the
energy flowing freely through them.
8. Reading another persons colors. This is an extension of the previous exercise, but this time
youre working with another person (with their agreement of course). Sit facing that person, a
P a g e | 4

few feet apart. With your eyes closed, imagine you can see that persons energy field, the aura
surrounding the body, and inside the body as well. How is the energy moving through and
around the body? What colors and patterns do you see? Tell the other person what you see and if
you get any intuitive interpretations, knowing that both of you are learning this process and can
decide how the information does or doesnt resonate with you. Exchange roles if the other person
is also practicing this work.
(If the concepts of the human aura and chakra system are new to you, I recommend you do your
own research. Both are very elaborate scientific studies, and theres an enormous amount of
imagery and information available on the web, as well as these exercises in more detail and
others like them to assist you.)
We can learn to understand ourselves and our behaviors from a more expansive viewpoint. We
can see ourselves as part of a larger whole than we see or know with our physical senses alone.
We can literally become an expanded being with more connection to a universe of knowledge
and consciousness. Learning to use and share your psychic abilities can bring you a much larger
sense of yourself and your reason for existing.
