Full Version: Maybe you can help
I have seen ghosts for many years, some more clear than others. I am starting to get very interested in becoming stronger with my gift. I do have a small psychic ability aswell that I would like to work on. Where should I start? Does anyone have thoughts? Please, I am not looking to be made fun of, I just want to get some guidence on becoming stronger. Thank you so much.
i dont know what to tell you. maybe you should try to talk to a paranormal expert if you can
I'm not a strong believer in the paranormal, but I think that in order to get this topic started, you should probably explain in detail what you've seen and done. Then, people will formulate opinions. 
First of all, brust72, I know I had to get my courage up at first for my thread because I was worried about not being taken seriously also. Given the story I had to tell, I felt there would be a lot of people who might think it was made up.
I have been overwhelmed, though, by the thoughtful suggestions and overall friendliness of the community here. I'm just not sure that I know how to help you. MrScuzzles is right, though, about needing to post a bit more background about your experiences- I just tend to over-post, I think (can't seem to help it!)
What is your small psychic ability? I believe this is different for each person. I also have heard and have experienced that it often runs in families. My father used to always know when something was wrong. He was a TOTAL DISBELIEVER, even though he had the gift. He would get an ache in his stomach area and just "know" something particular happened to one of us kids and was always right. He never "worked" on his gift. Is it neccessary to do so or does it grow stronger with time? From my personal experience, it's just been getting amazingly stronger the older I get. I don't know how old you are, but maybe if you just let it happen and pay close attention to that inner voice, you might find the same thing happens for you.
I never get the stomach thing like he did. For me something will just pop in my head suddenly and strongly usually when I'm doing some mundane task, and I'll just "know" or "feel" something. Other times things come to me in dreams. NOT KIDDING! Sometimes I'll dream something and then it happens or I'll ask somebody about it and they'll say "But how could you know???" It can be creepy sometimes, but it can be fun, too.
Anyway, you're at the right place. I'm sure somebody here can suggest something. Good Luck! What works for one person might not be the answer for another, just find what works for you.

PM Chico del nacho. He can do this too. Maybe he can help you.
In one of the books I have on the subject (forgive me for not posting the title, it's at home and I'm at work,) it suggests these things:
1.) Meditation - try to clear your mind and become a blank. You're not concentrating on any one thing, but rather trying to achieve contact with everything around you. By clearing the mind you're reducing "outside" interferences with that contact. Native Americans helped achieve this by ingesting things such as peyote, certain mushrooms, peppermint, and lots of other plants. Many cultures also fast before trying to meditate.
2.) Remove any jewelery you may wear, especially any piercings as they interupt your body's energy flow (chakara, ki, whatever you want to call it.)
3.) Do good deeds. The theory is that good karama adds to your psychic abilities over time. This is based a lot on Buddahism, but either way what harm can it do? Besides if you feel better about yourself, you become more self confident which also helps.
4.) Most importantly - don't push, wish, pray for it. Your abilities will increase on their own when you're (spiritually) ready for them to do so.

initially, i wasn't gonna say much, but since gufzoo is promoting me like packaged pancakes, i feel obliged. heh, nah, i was gonna say somethin anyway. i just wanted to mention pancakes. regardless.
meditation is good, but it's hard for me to do. it's pretty much an impossibility for me to stop thinking. it's very annoying and makes it hard to get to sleep sometimes. this may have something to do with the herculean amounts of caffeine i consume, as i'm still able to meditate every now and then. usually though, i don't try to meditate. it just happens. i'll be reading then just look at my wall and stare off into space for a while.
i think the jewelry thing is a load of hooey. i have a necklace with a mayan lion carved out of some wicked green stone (i'm pretty sure it's not jade) which i've been told is used to give the wearer strength. i'd say it helps. it doesn't give me exponential amounts of bravery and such, but i usually feel pretty good with it on. i've had it on a few times i've gone oot and aboot on ghosthunts, and i haven't seen much difference if any. i always have my watch on, whcih i think counts as jewelry, even if it does use velcro.
doing good things is something you should just do. it's not something to do for the soul reason or hope of good karma. and while i believe in karma, don't expect much in return for what you do. to keep with your buddhism motife, remember, life is suffering. i generally do good because i know life is suffering and i know it's unfair and i figure if i can make life fair and more tolerable for others, it's a good idea. i know i'd like if people did it for me as well. heh, aren't i just the little hippie
yeah, the push, wish, and pray thing, not recommended. it's like if you try too hard you will fail, know what i mean? you have to just let it happen. for a time, i was worried i didn't have my abilities anymore. nothin had happened in a while. heh, that night i had one of the craziest undead experiences. won't go into it now, takes too long to tell. but anyway, if you need it to happen, it will happen. patience.
heh, this isn't all so much strict to the ghost either. it's a nice little philosophy type thingamjig, eh? but anywa, yeah, like gufzoo said, if ya want, you can drop me a line and i'll try to help. not like i have anything else to do

See? Chico knows. I don't do anything, either. Like I said, I don't even think about it. It just happens. And when he said he thought he lost his abilities for a while? I don't think it's something you can control or will to happen.
You never know when it will (at least I don't). It just happens. Maybe when it's meant to be, it's just meant to be. I've just learned to live with it and roll with its flow...

Hi brust72,
I use to go to a psychic circle. See if you have any in your area, probably easier said then done though. In the circle you'll have an experienced medium in charge to help guide you. Usually you'll do a group meditation and debrief afterwards. We also practised readings and healings. Because of all the other 'tuned in' energies around most people find it useful to help in their learning.
I've sinced moved and would love to join another circle but they are impossible to find around here.
Good luck and don't try to push yourself to much, as opening too quickly can be a very unpleasent experience.

lol so very right. almost to the point of being an understatement. i opened too quickly or just too much too early, and it damaged my psyche. i haven't gone to a psychologist since though because i have no money. it'd help quite a bit, but whatever. i've coped with it for years now, what's a few more years, know what i mean?

You know you love it!
I am just learning as well, may be we can work together and learn off each other. Just a suggestion. I would like to reach out to more than family where would you like to go to next?
I like this quote don't know who said it "When the student is ready the teacher will appear" Still waiting for my teacher hmmm maybe the teacher is me
