Tips on Psychic Development



I got an email from my Tarot website  asking me for advice about setting on “the path” to psychic development.  This person was frustrated and overwhelmed with her progress in advancing her knowledge & psychic abilities. I responded thusly:

Dear Seeker, 

You’re right, there IS much more to learn.  Our learning is infinite – we’ll never “learn it all” because the nature of the universe is ever-changing.

You are acknowledging your gifts, and increasing your awareness through books & Tarot – this is excellent.  We can only progress on our path when we continue to take steps forward (even if they seem like small ones).

Each path is different, so I cannot say what will help you on your path.

I can share a few things I’ve learned on my path (not in order of importance):

  • Meditate, meditate, meditate
  • Know yourself
  • Never give up
  • Live with compassion in your heart (for self & others)
  • Be patient
  • Stay in the present moment – present awareness
  • Question everything to your satisfaction
  • Read, research, study…the path of knowledge never ends
  • When in doubt, go within (seek answers within yourself, not outside of yourself)
  • Meditate (I know I mentioned it already – but it’s really important)

These are a few states of being & thinking that have served me the most along the way. 

Have I mastered these or any other techniques?  Nope.  Not even after 20 years of thinking about this kind of stuff. 

I’m not yet convinced that mastery is available to humans.  If I adhere to the belief of the universe as ever-changing (and I do), this would discourage the concept of mastery because as soon as knowledge is achieved on one level the construct changes – thus requiring a new perspective and a re-investment in learning.

This is a big pressure release.  It takes the goal away, and leaves us to simply be as we are – beautiful beings with incredible power – expanding and growing all the time (hmmmm, just like the universe, eh?). 

But I digress (as I often do on this subject)….back to your comment: 

Helping others with your psychic ability is certainly admirable; it’s also a massive responsibility.  It requires daily practice as well as faith, discipline, love, patience and equanimity of mind.  It also requires a commitment & a devotion to yourself as well as all of life.  And these elements are required at all times (not just in the beginning as you are learning, and not even after 100 years of learning & practice). 

Go within.  You are beautiful & divine.  You are also your best source of information.  That’s a promise.
