Psychic Awareness
One of the most powerful approaches to awakening the psychic within you is to give permission to allow this process to happen. This occurs on two different levels. The first includes making a conscious choice to allow your self to be open to psychic phenomenon. This sounds easy enough, however you would be surprised at how many of us block this experience because of our own fears. Working through these fears can prove to be difficult as new experiences of this nature often make us feel uncomfortable or out of control. The real key is allowing this process to happen naturally without force or expectation. Just as you gave yourself permission to experience psychic awareness, you can also ask that this experience happens at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The second level includes developing a relationship to the Divine, Higher Consciousness, or Universe. At this level, it may be useful to let your Higher Power know that you are ready to explore your own psychic awareness. Through a conscious contact with a Higher Presence, you can learn to identify your true inner voice. This often includes incorporating a practice of psychic meditation or prayer. The real goal is to learn to identify what is the voice of your ego verses the voice of your higher self or true self.
As you learn to differentiate these various levels of consciousness, you will ultimately discover your own source of psychic awareness and ability. For most people, psychic awareness is identified by an inner knowing. As one's fear dissipates, one can begin to trust the information that comes through one's higher consciousness. The real objective is to know yourself intimately. Psychic awareness is a result of one's relationship to their own self.
