My best advice is take your time do no rush, by rushing to open your psychic side allow the ego to manifest, similar to handling high voltage with no insulation or before the wires are fully grounded. it ultimately short circuit you. There are not tricks. there are not short cuts you need patience to develop it. This is my own personal opinion and what worked for me.

My advise is to try a lot of different things. You will probably have more success with some outlets of your psychism than others. A lot of people use Tarot to open the channels of psy. The deck does some of the work, but you do the rest. You can also do really meditative things like astral projection and remote viewing. You can also meditate before bedtime, focusing on having dreams that are either predictions of the future or insightful about yourself. If you find yourself trying too hard and getting nowhere, then dreaming is a good place to start because you are more relaxed when sleeping. Other people do Chakra or Rekki work to find ther inner focus. Also try grounding and centering techniques. Let us know what you have success with!

Here's an interesting story: I live in the area terrorized by the infamous snipers recently. I had been reading a book on remote viewing, and thought I would try to put it to good use. I have a hard time focusing enough to see things while awake, so I tried doing it asleep. well, I had a wierd dream that night. ---I was in a grocery store, when I heard some kids talking about how a kid they knew from school was the sniper. I followed them through the aisles hoping they would say the person's name, but they didn't. as they were walking to the exit door, I decided to just go ask them. The said the boy's name was "Wheels Rollins". OK, so I didn't get the name right, but all the experts were telling us it was a white male in his 40's or something like that. The boys in my dream were African-American, and the impression I got was that the sniper was too. I thought I messed up and just had a wierd dream. A few days later, they caught the two guys, one of whom was a black teenage male. Pretty good for my first attempt, I think!

find a book called "You Are Psychic" by Pete A. Sanders, Jr. The best book I have seen so far on developing one's abilities.

From an early age a palm and tarot reader told me I was very psychic... Later on I taught myself tarot, without mentors or books. She asked me what took you so long? I've felt that your intuition in a reading is your psychic side connecting with the cards, so try doing reading and going with what you feel, not what the cards mean. Maybe that will help.

Meditation is great way to focus your powers and enhance them. There is no correct way to meditate soyou find your own way and fly with it. I meditate a lot and mostly to the sound of "Enya" the singer. It's a very moving CD. Good luck with your powers. Peace out!
