Getting Started: The 4 Eyes

All the words here are my own so please email me first if you wish to reproduce any of the sections below – I would like to know where they will be reproduced. 

The 4 Eyes

Ok, not that sort of eye!  I’m talking about:

*      Imagination

*      Intuition

*     Intention

Get these 3 working and you will see vast improvements in any of your psychic and healing activities.  More of the 4th later…

Imagination

A lot of psychics or light-workers as children are blessed with so-called over-active imaginations.  This is no coincidence.  Your imagination can take you places you could never dream of going in your physical form; let you talk to people who you could never hope to meet; and allow you to explore new ideas without risk of contradiction or ridicule. Or it can simply take you to a fantasy land.  

Could there be no better tool then to awaken other senses in you also?  When beginning to develop psychically, a lot of people negatively disregard their imagination - even belittling their experiences by blaming it.  However, think of your imagination as a way to tune your other abilities. It may just be the catalyst you need. Spirit and your Higher Self will use your imagination to present scenarios and information to you. Gradually you will start to recognise this communication as having a separate feel or vibration from your usual daydream state.  I agree that it is important to be able to distinguish between your imagination and messages from Spirit – and at first that can be very tricky - but with experience and with the development of other sensory abilities - you will start to tell the difference.

Try this. Take a Tarot or Oracle card – any card will do as long as there is a person or animal somewhere in the picture and lots of other details around them. If you haven’t got any cards, use a picture in a book or magazine or a painting on the wall.  Now, imagine that you are that person or animal.  Think about what your name is, what you had for dinner, what you are doing tonight, who are your friends, where do you live etc etc.  This bit is fantasy – nothing magical or out of this world – just pure pleasure – enjoy yourself.  With practice you will find that as you relax into this task your physical self starts to recede and the focus starts to move within. You forget you are a person staring at a picture, and start to feel that you ARE the picture. This is just the same feeling as the first stage of a meditation. Soon little pieces of information will start to occur to you – unexpected pieces of information that will make you wonder, “Where did that come from?”   Depending on what you are looking it – this information may relate to the picture – or else be completed unrelated. A name may pop into your head, a brief glimpse of a figure perhaps or a place. 

These little pieces of information are your first messages from your Higher Self, Guide or Spirit – initially you won’t be sure which is which – but that’s when with practice you will be able to start to determine the energies of these other voices.

It is your imagination that has taken you there – it has allowed you to get into the correct state to be receptive and has in turn allowed your helpers to cut through the daily chatter in your brain and start to communicate their thoughts to you.  So next time you dismiss something as just your imagination – stop and congratulate yourself – it means you’re starting to get there.

Intuition

First of all let’s clear up the difference between Instinct and Intuition – because these are not the same things.  It is instinct that drives wild animals to mate at certain times of the year or to take cover when a storm is coming.  It is a combination of biological drive and brain function – like a code they follow without question when the physical signs are right ie weather patterns, particular smells or sounds. However, Intuition is like a flash of inspiration or knowledge eg your dog knowing that you are coming home even at a strange time of day, or the moment you look at the phone just before it rings, or when you just know your child has had an accident at school and you already have your coat on when they ring to tell you.

Instinct is to do with survival – Intuition is to do with trusting the flash – acting in the Now.  Instinct seems to be passed down, coded in past experience, from generation to generation.  Intuition is unique to that person, at that particular time, and seems to be communicated from some “other” source either within or outside ourselves. 

Intuition is not even a voice – it is a sudden, and distinct knowing.  It tells us precisely what a detail on a tarot card means to a particular queriant today; it tells a Reiki practitioner that a client’s right knee has a past injury before you even lay hands on it; and it tells us that we need to use a rose quartz crystal with this particular client just by a quick glance in their eyes.  It is usually the first thought – and as such, the one you are likely to initially try to suppress by using logic but it is the one crucially that you need to listen to.

Trusting your intuition is the well-spring from which all the psychic disciplines flow.

Try working with your Intuition for 1 week.  As you go about your day-to-day activities – listen for the flash – and follow the advice whenever practical.  Maybe your intuition will tell you not to take a particular street and so avoid a traffic jam, or may tell you to eat in a strange restaurant and have the best meal of your life, or send you into a shop you don’t think you need to go to and you end up meeting an old friend.  See how you feel after the week – I bet you’ve been to new places and discovered new things!

Intention

You will hear light-workers say they work with “positive intention” or they say they work “in the Light”.  Let’s examine exactly what this means.  

It has been discussed and proven over and over that positive thought is a powerful tool to change your situation.  People have thought their way out of illness or circumstances they would rather not be in.  It is believed that this is so because a thought itself has its own energy.  As this thought is created and thrown out into the world, its energy expands and becomes more powerful to the extent that it can actually materialise.  Whether this is a spontaneous creation purely created by the energy itself or else the vibration of the energy is light enough for a spirit entity or Universal energy to latch on to it and help make it reality, is beyond me.  I’m not privy to how the process works.  All I know is that it works!  So thinking creates energy, and the type of energy you create with that thought is determined by your intention.

Therefore working in the Light or with Positive Intention – simply means focussing your thoughts in a positive manner for the best good of the recipient ie the person to whom you are sending the thought.  This is exactly how distance healing and prayer works also. 

To develop psychically it is crucial to be as positive as possible.  Use your Intention to power your development – keep it focussed on what you want to achieve whether that be a new skill or linking in with spirit or providing an uplifting card reading for a friend.

Here are some tips to help with giving your Intention real muscle! 

If you think of your Intention as a muscle to be tuned then it makes sense that short repetitions are the key.  So why not create a ritual for yourself to use before and after doing your psychic work?  A ritual does not have to be long and complicated – lighting a candle and repeating out loud words such as “I am carrying out this reading/treatment [or whatever] for the highest good of [name of recipient]”. See the candle as a physical reminder of your purpose and look to it if at any time you feel unfocussed.  At the end of the exercise – give thanks for the positive energy you created and blow out the candle to signal the end of the exercise. This can be adapted for any psychic exercise you are undertaking.  

Another option is to visualise the intention in your imagination. Think of an image which encompasses a clear, focussed light – maybe a candle, a lighthouse shining at night, a bonfire beacon on a hillside, even a powerful torch shining out into the distance.  The image represents the light and clear focus of your intention.  Now see the light created from that source shining onto the subject of the exercise – either yourself, your friend or client.  Close your eyes and see your subject smiling widely within the light – they are safe and happy within your intention.  Set this scene, open your eyes and commence the reading.  If your intention wanders, concentrate once again on this picture until it is very clear again.  At the end of the exercise see the light from the source gradually fade, still falling on the client.  See the light gradually fade until the client is no longer visible.  Give thanks and finish just knowing your reading will be received positively.

If you work with your Guides, Angels, animals etc ask them to help you with keeping your intention pure and strong.  A simple request at the beginning of the work and thanks at the end will do the trick.  But make it as real as you can by visualising your helpers or invoking them verbally.  Don’t just pay lip service – remember, they are making time especially to help you!

So that’s the 3 Is.  Use your Imagination to help you to connect to the other worlds; use your Intuition to help you recognise what messages are true and to help you live in the Now; use your Intention to keep your focus strong and to create positive outcomes to all your spiritual endeavours.  Good luck!

 

Oh, the 4th I?  Well that’s the best one - our brow chakra or third eye – get the first 3 working and this one will really start kicking in!
