allows, return to your journal and write out your dreams in deeper detail. Review your dream journal on a regular basis against events that occur in your daily life. A dream symbolism dictionary will be quite helpful with this process.

Step Four

Here we begin to tie the spiritual into the psychological aspects of psychic ability. Review your own religious and spiritual beliefs and try to expand upon them. Dependent upon what your core religion is, take the time to delve a little deeper into it. You may want to also study up on other religious sects that interest or draw you to find what it is about that spiritual path that interests you and perhaps encompass it into your daily life. Find your Higher Power and take the time to tap into it on a daily basis, even if it is only as simple as a daily prayer or the lighting of a candle with the intention to bring you inner calm.

Step Five

Meditation is a good tool to use when trying to clear your psychic channels. Find a quiet spot in your home where you can sit in a relaxed state, dim the lights and light a white candle. Sit quietly and contemplate the candle flame, allow your mind to wander and take you where it will. At first you may have your mind fill with thoughts and memories of the past, but as you make this part of your routine you will then begin to find a place where your mind is totally at ease and you are actually not "thinking" you are just "being". In time, you may begin to find psychic inspiration in this state, a form of enlightenment.

Step Six

Psychic and intuitive ability is inherent in all of us. Learn to trust your intuition. When you get that "fight or flight" response in your physical being, your intuition is telling you that there is some type of danger surrounding you. Learn to listen to it. When making decisions, if you have that sick, unsettled feeling inside, trust your intuition, that is your psychic ability telling you to make a different choice. Similarly, when you feel good, when your decisions bring you a sense of relief or optimism, follow that intuition. Learning to trust our intuition while our logical minds argue against it is one of the most difficult tasks in developing your psychic sense.

Step Seven

Choose a divinatory tool to study such as tarot, astrology, the runes, scrying or automatic writing. Working with any one of these tools, which are designed to be divinative in nature, can help you to build confidence in your own psychic ability. Record your earliest predictions and review them on a regular basis.

Step Eight

Practice using your new divination skills with friends and family. Even the most conservative among us cannot resist a free tarot reading from a trusted friend. Often it is easier to use our psychic ability on someone else than on ourselves. Psychic contact of this nature with others will begin to build a sense of confidence in your own ability.

Step Nine

Practice some type of cleansing ritual on a regular basis. Our psychic channels can become blocked by the daily psychic sludge we accumulate when interacting with others, energy is transferred each time we interact with someone, each interaction is a "psychic contact", so it is wise to try to protect our own energy with regular cleansing. A bath in sea salt available at your local grocer is a simple way to cleanse our energy on a weekly basis.

Step Ten

Being more in tune spiritually will naturally lead us to being more psychically aware of our surroundings. Hone your psychic abilities by repeating and reviewing steps one through nine on a regular basis. As our psychic abilities increase, our need for spirituality grows, and as our spirituality grows, so do our psychic abilities.
