Objective Clairvoyance
Objective clairvoyants are psychics who have the rare talent of being able to see objects, animals and people in spirit as if they were present. While the subjective clairvoyant may get a clear picture of an object internally, the objective clairvoyant sees things in the environment around them. In some cases these things can be quite three dimensional, like looking at things through our physical eyes rather than through our third eye. However, what is happening is that the psychic activity in the third eye is more heightened and active than in a person with subjective clairvoyance. Objective clairvoyance is a talent that tends to be inherited.
Clairvoyant skills are necessary to be able to divine the future, see auras and communicate with spirits.
Clairaudience
Both psychometry and clairsentience skills can trigger clairaudience – the ability to hear words or sounds that are not part of the material world but come from the ether and spirit realms. When developing spirit communication skills, clairaudience is one of the first major steps in communicating with spirits and hearing their voices.
Many people who have natural clairaudience skills will hear spirits and ghosts. As you become increasingly psychically aware, it becomes easier to pick up different frequencies – much as an experienced radio operator can tune a radio more accurately. A frequently reported clairaudient experience is that of hearing footsteps in an otherwise empty house. As with spirit voices, these sounds can exist independently of the hearer and may be heard by several people who live in the house – although they may not all hear them at the same time.
Many people have a degree of clairaudience but do not recognize it as such because, like so many other psychic abilities, it is has always been there. We may have always received words, thoughts or sounds of inspiration inside our mind without ever assuming that they come from another source. Many clairaudient psychics hear psychically transmitted sounds and spoken language as if they were hearing them physically. Others hear or receive the impressions of sounds, words or thoughts only in their minds. Many of our spirit guides and ancestors speak to us through clairaudience and many of the best solutions to our day-to-day problems are received from clairaudient messages. (In section two you will find a number of exercises that help tune your clairaudient and clairvoyant skills.)
Most people are psychic to some degree. However, everyone has different gifts and different ways of working with their psychic powers. Psychic energy is not a commodity or something you gain as a result of passing an exam – it is something we all possess. Most people use their intuitive gift or sixth sense without being aware of it. Learning about your gift increases your capacity to use it and by trying out various methods of psychic sensitivity – such as psychometry or fortune telling – you will discover your natural gift. Whichever gift comes naturally is the one you should develop.
To be a successful psychic you need to be interested in people, to believe that there is life after death, and that the power and love within the spiritual world influences the living. Before all these things mean anything to you, you must first learn to understand your own spiritual belief system a little better. Some people are naturally more in touch with themselves and the principles behind their way of bringing a spiritual understanding into their life on a daily basis.
The key to learning how to open up and discover your natural psychic gifts lies in knowing how you feel about yourself and in being conscious of the world you exist in. I always ask my students on the first day of a psychic awareness workshop questions such as: ‘How do you treat yourself? Do you eat well, rest and relax? How much do you enjoy your day-to-day life? How successful do you feel about what you have achieved in your life? Are you able to love, care and give without expecting anything in return?’
Being a psychic is a difficult gift to live with, although there are many plus points to having a vision of the future and being able to see through people and situations at a glance. To really benefit from being psychic takes time and experience. The happier you are with your life the better, as the best psychics are those who are not afraid of loving, of giving and of being themselves in any given situation.
The gift of psychic power generally begins to appear in people during childhood, though this is not always the case. Many people have opened themselves up in adulthood: some after a traumatic experience, others following a near-death experience and some through many years of training.
There are many ways to uncover your talents. Many of the strands of psychic powers are interlinked and the more you experiment, the further your psychic powers will unfold and evolve. However, in order to become aware of your psychic power, and to be able to tune into people, vibrations and atmospheres, it is essential to learn how to meditate.
‘Meditating using simple yoga-style meditation techniques has helped me to transform my brain activity from conscious reality into a higher, unconscious reality. I can feel myself connect with my spirit and gradually I move into my inner space and connect up with the creator spirit.’
Florence, French language teacher
Meditation is a discipline that encourages your mind to focus and to interpret psychic visions, messages and symbols from the spirit world. It also encourages confidence in your psychic abilities.
There is a multitude of meditation techniques. The purpose in most traditional forms is to move us closer to spiritual liberation, closer to a unity with a divine force. In general, the very idea of moving closer to the source of ‘great’ spirituality can put the majority of people off ever learning how to meditate. However, if we view it as a simple exercise that takes our focus away from the physical reality into an inner peaceful space, then we may approach it with less trepidation.
Through meditation we can free our thoughts, though to achieve this requires patience and perseverance. Initially, it is hard to halt the continuous chatter that goes on in the mind.
Meditation is like taming a wild animal; at first it will be moving around wildly, not wanting to be still. You cannot force it to be still, eventually it will simply tire and look for a place to rest. Your technique will become a place on which your mind rests. Each time you meditate the mind will remain focused for longer periods and even when distracted will easily return to the focus point.
Meditation is an excellent way of taking a break from the external world and going on an inner journey. In this way it is possible to attain great insight into the nature of one’s self – a process which can, of course, bring both pain and joy. It can help uncover facets of our character that we don’t like or experiences we have repressed, but it can also in time bring us to a place of surrender where a state of grace or union with God can occur. In Indian Yogic terms this is called Samadhi – a state of bliss or peace.
The benefits of meditation are not only mental but physical. It involves deep physical relaxation and affects respiration, making it slower and deeper. The pulse rate also slows and muscular activity lessens. Through meditation you start to see things differently and have more clarity. The outside pressures of your daily life may not change but your view of them shifts, you feel stronger but calmer, relaxed, less tense and more able to cope with the stresses of daily life.
It is impossible to convey the reality of meditation through words alone. Meditation can only be understood through direct experience. Meditation can be viewed as a state of consciousness or a way of life. It might be seen as a path to enlightenment and a spiritual discipline. It is all things to all people.
