One of the fastest ways to increase your intuition is to meditate (of course) and also go with your first instinct. When you meditate, you are clear and receptive to the messages or impressions you receive. You are better able to determine whether the information you are receiving is really from your Higher Self.  If  you ask whether something is ‘in the white light of turth, you will always be given the answer. That way you can reject that which doesn’t feel right, and listen to that which does.

By meditating 15 minutes daily, you become more receptive to your Inner Voice; less distracted by outside distubances. It becomes easier to remain focused. Meditating regularly is one of  the quickest way to tune into and hear your higher self. If 15 minutes at one time too much at first, try to divide this period  into two shorter sessions.

The pendulum is basically an amplifier. It is a tool that helps you to access the collective unconscious and your Higher Self. You can get answers to anything you can come up with.

1. Choose A Pendulum:
Allow a pendulum to choose you. If you like the way it looks or feels, it is meant for you.

2. Cleanse Your Pendulum:
You may cleanse it by holding it under running cold tap water, soaking it in sea salt, or setting a mental intention to free it of ‘picked up energies.’

3. Understand the Directional Swings of Your Pendulum:
Pendulums swing in vertical straight lines, horizontal straight lines, and in circular movements.

4. Define the Directional Swings of Your Pendulum:
Assign each directional swing a “response” by first asking the pendulum to show you what certain responses look like. Ask: What does a NO look like? What does a YES look like?… and so on.
Pendulum Response Examples:

• vertical swing signifies NO
• horizontal swing signifies YES
• circular movement signifies NEUTRAL

5. Prepare Your Questions:
A question should be one that can be answered with a positive, negative or neutral response.

6. Set Your Intention:
Precede your question session with a prayerful request or statement.
Example Intention:
It is my intention to receive truthful answers which will serve the good of all concerned.
7. Ask Your Questions:

8. Between Questions:
Make sure to completely stop any pendulum motion between questions to clear any lingering energies that pertain to the previous question.

This is going to be the first of several articles on psychic development. Wikipedia defines ‘psychic’ as ‘an ability to perceive information hidden from the normal senses through what is described as extrasensory perception,  or to those people said to have such abilities. Everyone has this ability to some extent. There are four major psychic strengths. Everyone is strongest in one or two of them. They are:

• Clear Vision (Clairvoyance)
• Clear Seeing (Clairaudience)
• Feeling
• Intuition
• Clairvoyance is a form of psychic vision expressing itself as a picture or image. It’s reception area is the 3rd eye area (above the eyebrows). To access this area, think of a quesiton or situation and look up, notice the visual impressions you receive.
• Clairaudience is a form of psychic hearing. The reception for this area is the temporal lobe area (either side of the head above ear level). To use this gift, sit quietly and turn your thoughts inward and focus on yourself and your day. Project the mental question ‘What approach is best for me today?’ Grasp the note or word or understanding that comes to mind.
• Psychic Feeling is the next category of psychic ability. It’s reception area is the solar plexus or gut. People who are strongest in this area often have great healing abilities, because of their sensitivity. To evaluate a person using this gift, you can face away from someone who is present and close your eyes. notice the impressions you are receiving. Don’t force, just be open and aware.
• Intuition is the last area area for psychic strengths. The reception area for this is above the top of the head. To intuitively get information on a question via this skill, focus your awareness upward and note your intuitive first impression.  Contrary to popular opinion, intuition (or prophecy) does not only refer to the future. It can also give you insight on a current situation or something from the past. To access this area. Sit comfotably with eyes closed. Picture a funnel extending from the center at the top of your head. Focus your attention through the funnel. Think of a situation, and notice the impressions that seem to be pouring through your mind.

• Don’t be discouraged if nothing happens right away. Don’t force it. With practice you will become stronger in at least one of these areas. There are many exercises and practices to develop your intuition. These are just several. Practice makes perfect.

Thank you again for the most fantastic session yesterday.  I feel so enlightened!  I am going to get the book you recommended and I have started enrolling in a MBA program at CU Denver.  I am also making time for meditating.  I finally managed to have a full night of sleep last night.  I am a new, fresh person.  You have opened this gate for me, I have more hope than ever.  You have helped me with notions I was not even aware of.  I can not thank you enough!  I am so happy and my friends have already noticed that a burden was lifted off me.
Love,
Jackie

Well, I have been listening to Spirit more. I think that this is one of the best things I can do for my Spiritual development. It isn’t that hard; certainly refusal to listen (to my higher self) is much more difficult-at least in the long run. Granted, it isn’t always clear what to do. However, by meditating and really focusing on what my Spiritual Self guides me to do I am always led and directed in the best way for that moment. People often ask me how to connect with their higher self-how to develop their intuition. The answer is always the same: meditation. Meditation needn’t be a long drawn out process. Even doing it once a day for 15 minutes is a good way to start.
