Materials.
1 white candle.
1 small piece of hematite.
Nagchampa, sandalwood, or dragon’s blood incense.
Begin by lighting the incense and the candle, then pick up the stone and hold it in your dominant hand.
Stand with your feet apart, and raise your arms until they are even with your shoulders, forming a star.
With the left palm up and the right palm facing the floor, breathe in the grounding energy of the Earth and exhale any scattered energy through your mouth.
Continue to breathe in this fashion until you’re totally relaxed.
(Three to four breaths usually does the trick.)
Visualize a small opening in your back at the same height as your navel.
The opening doesn’t hurt or bleed or keep your body from functioning in any way;
it’s simply there as a safety valve to release psychic overflow should it occur.
Once the image is firmly fixed in your mind’s eye, focus on the candle and its light.
Feel the light beginning to flow through you and say something like:
Place the stone in front of the candle and leave it until the flame burns out, then carry the stone with you on a constant basis.
While psychic control is enough of a problem to warrant its inclusion here, it may never cross your path.
In fact, your predicament may be just the opposite. It may be that you want to develop your psychic skills more than anything else in the world, but no matter what you do the messages simply refuse to come.
This can be disconcerting, to say the least, especially when everyone else around you seems to be receiving more messages than they care to deal with.
After a while, you may even start to think there’s something wrong with you.
Feelings of inadequacy set in.
Anxiety takes over. And before you know it, your mind is so filled with garbage that you wouldn’t even recognize your own name if someone screamed it in your ear. If this sounds familiar,
I have three words for you.
Stop right there.
To start with, there’s nothing wrong with you, and beating yourself up with imagined failure isn’t going to fix things.
In fact, it could be that you’re already receiving psychic messages but just don’t know it because psychic information doesn’t necessarily arrive in the form we imagine.
It seldom comes in some mysterious voice that echoes in the back of the brain.
Instead, it’s more like a fleeting thought, so we usually just brush it aside and go about our business.
If you’re already paying attention to your inner voice, though, there could be other problems.
For one thing, your psychic centers may be clogged.
It’s also possible that you’re so grounded you simply don’t hear anything other than messages relating to the mundane.
