Psychic Development 101: Laying Foundations

by Regina Chouza

Starting on the path of psychic development or spiritual exploration can be exciting if not overwhelming. With so many themes to explore, where do we begin? Energy healing, mediumship, astrology, shamanism, intuition and other types of energy work quite literally open you up a world of possibilities. Regardless of the modality chosen, a strong physical and energetic foundation can pave the way for your development. The human body is more than a temple for your Spirit; it’s also a channel for healing and psychic insights. We can develop stronger, clearer channels by adopting the following practices for psychic development.

 
Ground, Clear and Protect Your Energy for Psychic Development

The human energy field is like a sponge. Once it has been attuned to spiritual energy, it soaks up everything we come into contact with. This can include psychic debris from our morning commute, our colleague’s cold symptoms and even our significant other’s emotional distress. We want to be there for the world without feeling it so intensely – a phenomenon that empaths will recognize. This is where the most basic principles of energy management come into play. By learning to ground, clear and protect our energy, we are able to access our intuition comfortably.

Grounding refers to the quality of our connection with Mother Earth, how comfortable we feel in our bodies and in our surroundings. It also provides a healthy outlet for emotional energy and stress, which we release into the ground through the chakras on the soles of our feet. To strengthen your grounding, find a quiet place to sit and imagine a large oak tree growing strong behind you with its trunk supporting your back. Bring your attention to your feet and visualize roots growing into the ground. These roots anchor us to Mother Earth, providing solid foundations for us to build on. The deeper the roots, the stronger our energy becomes. By working on our grounding, we make it easier for our bodies to channel high vibrational insights and energy.
