Awakening Psychic Abilities

Awakening psychic abilities is a natural state of acceptance of miracles, listening to your intuition, and tuning into your body's intelligence.

Have you ever had a gut feeling? What's that?

Did you ever witness a miracle in your life, or a least something you could not explain?

Have you ever listened to your bodies messages and taken action in your life?

These are NOT the "900" number/psychic hotlines sorts of abilities...but like Einstein said:

"There are two ways to live your life - one is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is a miracle."

So, yeah...this idea lacks excitement and flash...by this definition...miracles are quiet boring...that's ok...you can remain open to the exciting miracles as well!

Awakening Psychic Abilities - Everyday Miracles

Alas...these states are fleeting...but I do remember and try to remind myself often just how miraculous hum-drum every day life really is...

Start with waking up in the morning...you open your eyes...maybe you were dreaming and you remember your dream...

Where was your consciousness just then? Right before you woke up?? Where did it go...

In a way, it's a miracle that we continue to wake up everyday...we totally trust that after we fall asleep and our consciousness fades away into "sleep"...

We KNOW without a shadow of doubt that we will open our eyes...

If we are in a situation that is dangerous...like war or disaster and our physical survival is in question...I'd imagine it would very difficult to sleep...

...Generally though, most people in the developed world...me included, disregard hum drum miracles all day, every day...until our physical survival is threatened...

In this "miracle mind" state...even the smallest element of life seems like a miracle...I saw all of time in the space of one breath...or in the time it takes to blink...

The universe is an amazing miracle...even without kung fu, killer robots, or gun fights...

...not that there anything wrong with those things...I'm just saying miracles are more a state of mind than events...

Awakening Psychic Abilities - Listening to Intuition

One way to think about intuition, is to think about it is as your "whole mind"...

The prefrontal cortex is the part of our brains that deals with "internal dialog" and is what we refer to when we talk about "thinking"

So, whatever you are conscious of in the moment, is being processed by your "pre-frontal cortex" or your conscious mind...

This part of the brain is the most recent innovation of evolution...the rest of our brain, has been around longer and has been "tweeked" through many more species than our "thinking brain"...

We have an old-lizard brain...it keeps us out of trouble mostly, and is also involved in emotions and detecting movement visually...

This leads to the phenomena of Blindsight where legally blind people can still detect movement...

We have a "whole" brain which contains a seemingly infinite amount of details about our current situation and most of this information remains "unconscious"...meaning these details don't get processed through the pre-frontal cortex...

Connecting to intuition, for me, is just practicing meditation in order to minimize my day-to-day level of "mind chatter" flowing through my pre-frontal cortex...or my conscious mind...

...this "quiet-mind" state opens the the door for important information that is being processed by the rest of my mind to quietly enter my awareness for processing...

Maybe it's emergency information about driving in traffic...

Maybe it's suggestions about what to write about today on my web page...

Sometimes, when I am stressed out and under a time crunch...I just take a deep breath and quiet my mind and let the rest of my mind organize the most efficient quick fix to survive the current bureaucratic emergency...

Sure, I think there are spirits trying to help me...I also think they speak to me via my unconscious mind...if my conscious mind is TOO noisy...I won't be able to hear the guidance.

Awakening Psychic Abilities - Listening to your Body

...Your gut... actually has neurons...second only in number to the number of neurons in your brain...

Generally speaking, a constricted feeling in the gut might be a warning of danger...it also might mean to cut down on overeating!!!

There is also science that tells us that there are strong neurological connections between the heart and the brain...this is the scientific connection between the feeling of gratitude and our sense of well being...

We can use the connection between our hearts and minds when our old lizard brains are telling us to run away, or attack someone...

Public speaking is a perfect example...

We all know at a conscious level, that we can't be physically harmed when we are about to do some public speaking, however, the old lizard brain fears feel...

One method of accepting that fear is to overload it with gratitude...

First feel your heart beating, and then feel grateful for all the blessings you have in your life...

The longer you feel the gratitude in your heart, the more the brain will respond with "feel good" hormones and allow you to do your public speaking with grace and gratitude.

The lizard brain will stop firing because it no longer feel the threat...
