Developing your psychic ability is a means of achieving a deeper spiritual connection with the universe. It assists you in making better decisions, following your instincts, and finding a greater balance in your life. Here are ten ways to improve your psychic abilities.

1) Meditation. Meditation is a method of quieting the mind and connecting with your higher power. There are many versions of meditation and it is up to you to decide what is the best for you.

Some people try to quiet the mind in silence. Others use a CD of a guided meditation. Others focus on a peaceful image or word. The goal is to learn how to focus your mind on something and get rid of the "chatter" there.

Find a method that works for you and spend time each day meditating. 15 minutes a day is ideal to start, but as little as 5 minutes is helpful.

Visualization. Visualization is a method of creating an image in your mind's eyes. By visualizing, you are able to "see" the spiritual world and interact with it. Visualization is used to work with the following activities of grounding, auras, and chakras.

2) Grounding. This method is used to clear the physical and astral bodies of the subtle energies surrounding them. The best way to perform grounding is to touch the earth. Put your hand in it and feel it. Visualize all energies leaving your body. Then, visualize taking in the power of the earth.

Imagine a cord extending from your belly into the earth. Through this cord, all of your negative energy flows into the earth and dissipates. Visualize pulling up nourishing and healing energy from the earth through your feet and extending up to your head and expanding to fill your body.

3) Auras. This is a bubble of spiritual energy that surrounds your body up to 12 inches from your physical body. It is like a protective force field that surrounds you and effects your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health. It is important to become aware of this and clear it of spiritual "debris."

Stand with your feet firmly on the ground and visualize your aura surrounding you. Now, see the debris and particles floating in your aura. Breath in, visualizing fresh positive energy flowing into your body. Breath out, imagining the debris falling off your aura and being absorbed by the ground.

4) Chakras. There are seven major energy centers in your body. To align your chakras, visualize them as wheels of energy approximately four inches in diameter. You will move up through the seven chakras, from the base to the crown.
