Visualization

“Meditation can renew both mind and body. By Pacifying stress that is based upon projection, true relaxation can be attained. What spring forth will be in accordance with your real needs.”
-I Ching no. 52

So you want to practice psi? Well in order to be successful you need VISUALIZATION. As said by Jerry Lynch, “Visualization is an active form of meditation in which you relax and choose to view images in your mind’s eye that will influence your emotions and energy.” (Thinking Body Dancing Mind, pg 16)What does this mean? It means, the more you visualize a positive, or negative outcome, of a practice session the more in that direction you will go. So if you visualize yourself being able to move the psiwheel in complete control and continue to visualize this outcome for some time, eventually you will be able to move the psiwheel the way you want to.

Visualization is not just important when practicing Psychokinesis, it is also important when practicing energy manipulation as well. Let’s say you want to make a psi-cube. Well what do you do? You sit down in a comfortable position, relax, and imagine the psi energy flowing to your hands and taking the shape of a cube. The more your practice this visualization the quicker and easier it will become to execute.

In order to be successful you need to keep the images positive. If suddenly you visualize yourself doing something that’s not positive and losing confidence in yourself, just gently remind yourself that others before you have done what you are trying to do and since you and that you have the same power to do what they can do.

Many famous athletes have used visualization to help them succeed; Jack Nicklaus, Mary Lou Retton, Elizabeth Manley, Sue Holloway. That doesn’t mean you can’t use the same method they do. Make the situation advantageous for yourself; visualize.

Here’s a quick run through of what a visualization session can be like.

In order to relax, we will be concentrating on deep abdominal breathing. It’s very simple. You breath through your and not through your mouth. Breath slowly and deeply and pay attention to your chest and abdomen and it moves with your breathing. Remember to not breathe forcefully because this may cause you to hyperventilate (not to mention you may relaxation).

Breathe deeply for five counts and feel yourself relax and focus. After you have breathed five times, begin visualizing what you want to accomplish. Spend as much time as you want for this part. You can spend five to 60 minutes if you want. It doesn’t matter.

Make sure that as soon as you are done visualizing, you do not want to abruptly snap out of this relaxing meditative state. Breathe deeply for five counts again and then slowly bring yourself back.

The key to visualization is being calm, passive and relaxed while visualizing. This will bring about the best most effective results because in a calm relaxed state you have more focus. You need to try and put fourth as much energy as you can to staying focused to your visualization. This technique will become easier for you when you practice, so make sure you try to practice visualizing as often as you have skill sessions.

Hope this helps. If you need help or just want to give me feedback, just leave a comment or email me.

A Link Suggestion for Beginners

PsiPog.net used to be a very lively community of pshychic ability practitioners, critics and interested listeners. Last year unfortunately the founder, Sean aka Peebrain, shut the forum community down. Fortunately for anyone who wants to continue learning and researching he has archived the whole forum for anyone to look at.

The community was full of very helpful people and I suggest taking a look if you want more information on psychic abilities and the paranormal in general.

Psychic Students in Pursuit of Guidence

So check it out if you're even slightly curious. Most likely you won't be disappointed. haha.

Have fun!!!

First Lucid

So last night for the first time ever I was lucid dreaming. I always thought it was interesting and read about it in books and online. A few years back I think I spent a week trying, got no results so I quit. I think about a week or so ago I intended to be able to lucid dream and BAM last night I did it!

It didn’t last long let me tell you and I couldn’t will anything to happen and whatnot. It was a partial lucid dream. It’s kind of hard to explain. In my dream I said, wait a minute this is a dream! And then my conscious began to snap back. I wasn’t fully conscious but the more conscious I got the more I began to wake up. I think it only took a few moments for me to completely wake up.

I know it wasn’t a fluck or something weird was because I could feel myself waking from a deep sleep, not REM, but still deep. It wasn’t one of those instances where you’re half awake and half asleep. So I know it was a real lucid dream. It was weird, pretty interesting. I found it hard to think, lol, but like I said I was only partially conscious so it makes sense.

Welp, that was my first lucid dream. Anyone still working on it? Anyone lucid dreaming experts?! Lol. Share if you have some insight.

Why Psionics has Prerequisites

don’t know if this has happened to you, but you might see something really awesome like a musician just playing their guitar and he/she sounds absolutely amazing!!! Like they motivate you to learn how to play the guitar and you start to get really excited. You begin to think oh ya I’ll just get a guitar and some books and teach myself. So you start to learn and you get kinda bored with the book because progress is slow and you really really wanna learn how to play your absolute all time favourite song, so you get tabs from the net and start learning how to play.

Well you practice and practice and you’ve finally gotten really good at playing this one particular song and you realize that’s all you really know so you start learning another song. You begin to get discouraged because damn, it’s taking me so long to learn how to play and I don’t like playing guitar that much, I WANT A LIFE!!!

Let me ask you one thing, have you really learned how to play the guitar? You may feel compelled to say yes because you’ve practiced and practiced that one song and you can play it and it sounds good. Yay great but have you really learned how to play? I would say no. You get angry and say “how could you say that blah blah blah.” I answer, “Well all you know how to do is play like two songs. You haven’t learned technique still so learning new songs is difficult. You haven’t learned music theory so you can make your own chords and you have learned scales so you can improvise.”

You stand silent not knowing what to say next and you realize that I was right, because you haven’t really learned how to play, you just know a few songs and that’s it. You really don’t set yourself up to progression because you haven’t even learned, let alone mastered, the basics!! How do you expect to get better?

It’s the same way with Psionics and most everything else. You get really excited one day because you just saw this wicked ass video of someone moving a penny with their mind. You begin to learn all you can and you slowly develop your mind skills and you move a penny. Yay great! Did you really learn Psionics? Are you really setting yourself up for learning other things like telepathy, empathy, Remote Viewing, Lucid dreaming? You say, “Well I don’t really care about those other things because I like telepathy.” I respond, “Why would you only want to learn how to play one song? You’ll get bored after a while and not feel motivated to learn any others.

Maybe you do eventually decide to learn something else, like empathy. You try and you try. You see progress, but it’s very slow and making you frustrated. You haven’t really developed patience so you’re beginning to give up and get discouraged. You haven’t really developed concentration and focus because you have ADD attacks when you’re trying to practice. You haven’t really developed discipline and you find it very easy to blow off practice periods.

How you are affects your psionic abilities and affects how far you progress. You NEED to learn how to do Psionics and not just learn telepathy. You may find that you like telepathy the most so you begin to concentrate on that mostly. It’s like learning how to play guitar and you find you really like playing Blues chords so you begin to become an expert in blues. It’s the same for Psionics.

Depending on what you of person you are, it is possible to be able to start with just one kind of skill and be able to pick up others easily and master them easier than others. You are what we like to call SPECIAL. Not everyone is like this. Most are not. So just assume you’re not special and you’ll put the work you need to in order to devote yourself to Psionics. If you find out you are special and you put in a lot of work in your studies, you’ll become a master in no time.

So just put the work into your practices, learning your prereqs and have fun!! Put your passion into it!!

Astral Projection and PsiWorld

My new goal nowadays is astral projection. I find it to be a very interesting topic. I did write a blog about a year ago about OBEs and they are both the same ideas. Think of this as a renewed interest. I am motivated to astral project/OBE beecause of an article I read on PsiWorld that talked about spirit guides. Let me set the record straight, I had never heard of a spirit guide before and naturally I'm a bit skeptical. I've come to the conclusion though that it wouldn't hurt to explore the subject more because what harm can come out of it?

If spirit guides are real then I have every benefit to find my own. If it turns out they aren't real, I will know because I will have astral projected and found they weren't. This means I was able to develop the ability of astral projection and have learned to concentrate and focus my mind better. It's a win win situation.

So it doesn't bug me to talk about spirit guides or venture into this new world of possibilities. I've been reading up on the subject from PsiWorld and I've been recommended a site called the Astral Society. There are some good articles there too. It always helps to learn as much as you can about things you're interested in.

I'll keep y'all updated on accomplishments and I'll be sure to fill you in on anything I learn while trying to achieve my goal.

So take care!!!
