Psychic Readings and Spiritual Healing        Aquarian Institute

We spend a third of our lives dreaming while sleeping at night and about a third
of our waking lives daydreaming. These intuitive states are the basis of psychic
reading in general and clairvoyance in particular. They are with us day and
night and serve up far more wisdom than most of us know what to do with. Not
knowing how close the wisdom we seek is to us we often look for it afar. But, it
is always right were you are. When your intuitive door is open you stand at the
center of the universe and have access to the deeper mind. When it is closed it
is like being thirsty for a drink while swimming in a lake.


            The Way is present before our
         eyes, yet what it before out eyes
               Is hard to understand.

Because intuition and dreaming have much in common we can understand how
intuition works by taking a look at dreaming. We all know something about
that. Dreaming is an intuitive process that only takes place when the mind is
quiet. Intuition is a kind of doorway to both day and night dreams. When we
learn to suspend doing and simply be, the mind becomes quiet and this door
remains open for a few seconds, minutes or perhaps an hour.

Intuition is the process of exploring the unknown and sensing possibilities that
might not be readily apparent. Through our psychic and intuitive nature we can
draw upon the infinite wisdom of the universe within and its storehouse of
unconscious knowledge. Even though we are conscious of only a small portion
of what is, this changes when we let go of the conscious mind by opening the
door to intuition.

The process of inner observing or getting insights from the unseen universe
takes place through intuition when the conscious mind is quiet. When the mind
is still intuitive impressions present themselves to expand our awareness of
what is really going on. When you expand your intuition you enhance your
ability to access the grand universe of unseen energies, forces, forms of
intelligence and even distinct personalities that live within you. You gain
access to the secret world within which has a complete life of its own. This life
runs parallel to the ordinary life we live from day to day and is the source of
much of our feeling and behavior. To get a deeper sense of what is going on we
must go to the deeper mind and set up communication with it through our
intuition.

To understand how to use your own intuition, and clairvoyance in particular,
lets begin by taking a look at inner observation in general. Meditation is a good
place to start because most of us know something about that. There are three
stages common to all forms of inner observation—meditation, concentration,
and intuition. Taken apart and examined we have six stages.

Stage 1: Place your attention upon an object you have in mind and stabilize
your focus long enough to complete the next two stages. The object may be a
person, place, thing, question, condition, subject, etc.—past, present of future.

Stage 2: Increase your focus on the details about that object. Notice more and
more details about it.

Stage 3: Unify or become one with the object. Put yourself in the picture (At
this point you may temporarily lose or forget yourself because you are so in
tune with the object of your attention.)
Note: The difference between clairvoyance and meditation is that clairvoyance
requires three additional stages.

Stage 4: Objectify your experience by describing your insight to another
person, writing it down, or making a mental not for later use.

Stage 5: Interpret your insight by answering the question, “What does it mean
or could it mean to me or the person I am reading?”

Stage 6: Verify your insight by getting validation from the original subject in
stage one. That is to say, check out your insight with the person, place, thing,
etc., that you’re looking at and trying to understand.

Whether we access the universe within though dreams, or by directing our
imagination in waking life we are using our intuition. As just outlined,
clairvoyance (intuition) comes into focus through mindfulness—the act of
stopping, listening, looking within and accepting what is given to us. The
central barrier to using intuition is being busy, fearful, doing, impatience, and
busyness in general.


    Rather than make the first move
       it is better to wait and see.

Unlike the intellect, from which our thoughts and words come and whose
resources are inevitably limited, I have found that intuition is a tool of
unlimited richness that never goes dull, never get repetitious, and always
brings a fresh perspective to life.
