Introduction
This book gives an
insight into how you can develop your psychic skills. It examines my
involvement in the psychic world, and the ways and methods I discovered to help
develop my psychic ability. There is a section on ghosts – including some
ghostly tales that illustrate my points – tarot cards, mediums, time travel,
and many more of the psychic sciences that I have discovered along the way.
There are
discussions on all the above, allowing the reader to form their own opinions on
whether they want to follow a particular pathway or not; it also shows how the
various methods deployed by psychics may help improve their lifestyle.
For anyone who is
new to the psychic world and wonders if they have psychic skills, this book can
be used as a first-step introduction and will give an insight into how to
proceed. There is advice on how to go about setting up as a psychic and how to
avoid the pitfalls.
I have included my
interpretation of the Tarot cards, dream interpretations, and other helpful
suggestions as to how you can develop your psychic skills.
I have not gone
into great detail with any of my ideas as I think it is far better that an
individual chooses their own way of developing their skills and ideas. Too much
information when a person is starting out can be confusing.
I hope the book
gives the reader a clear insight into the different pathways of the psychic
world.
Choosing Your Psychic Pathway
My Story
I saw my first ‘ghost’ when I was about 7
years of age. I was walking back to school after lunch, head down looking at
the floor when, for some reason or other, I glanced up. Not far ahead of me, I
saw a young girl around my own age walking in the same direction. She was
dressed in a similar dress to the one I was wearing. I wondered who she was.
The street was deserted apart from the two
of us. I tried walking faster to catch her up, but the distance between us
remained the same. Try as I might, I couldn’t shorten the distance. It was
strange to say the least.
I watched her intently, determined I was
going to catch her up. I started to run and she promptly disappeared in front
of my eyes.
I rubbed my eyes not believing that someone
could disappear like that - but she had. I knew I had seen a ghost; there was
no other explanation. This incident didn’t frighten me at all. Despite being
young, or perhaps because of it, I accepted that ghosts existed. My family
would have scoffed at me if I had told them, particularly my three brothers. So
I kept the ‘girl ghost sighting’ to myself. I never found out who she was, but
I have never forgotten her.
Over the years, my interest in ghosts deepened.
I read everything I could on the subject. At times, I must admit I questioned
whether I had actually seen a ghost and wondered if it had been my childish
imagination. Who knows? But it began a life-long interest that has never
diminished.
From the time I joined the library at an
extremely young age, I read any books that contained ghost stories, both
fiction and non-fiction; anything that had a ghost in it was food for my soul.
Films, radio programmes, magazines, anything that contained a ‘ghostly reference’,
I had to digest.
As I grew up, I began to see other ghosts;
some I recognised, others I didn’t. However, asking around the family and
giving descriptions of the ghosts I had seen, I would eventually discover who
the ghostly apparitions were.
My research drew me to like-minded people
and I would hear their fascinating stories of the ghosts they had seen. All
this led me further down the path of the unexplained. The more I discovered,
the more I wanted to know.
I discovered tarot cards and found they are
a useful tool to help reach the ‘other side’, though I wouldn’t recommend
anyone trying this unless in the hands of a professional reader with many years
of experience. The same goes for the Ouija board; this can be a highly
dangerous ‘game’ in the wrong hands.
The majority of people who see a ghost will
only ever see the one, and others I have spoken to about their sightings are
still scared many weeks down the line.
‘It was such a shock,’ is normally the
first thing they say. I quite agree with them. If something disturbs you in the
middle of the night, you may well first think you have burglars and are going
to be battered to death, or you could even have a heart attack. Some ghosts
have no respect for your finer feelings. After all, I should imagine there is
no night or day to them. After all, they are on a higher spiritual plane than
we are, or so we are told. Hence, disturbing your sleep is not going to worry
them in any way whatsoever.
Of course, even if you recognise the
spectre, it is still an almighty shock, but at least you have the assurance
it’s not a murderer standing beside your bed. What if you don’t know your
visitor? The first reaction, obviously, is to dive back beneath the duvet or
head for the nearest exit. After all, being woken up in such an untimely manner
is no joke, let alone being confronted by a ghost while you are still
half-asleep. Yes, it can be scary, but if you can manage to keep calm by taking
a few deep breaths and trying to stop shaking, take a peep. If the ghost hasn’t
disappeared by this time, I think you’ll be surprised at just how ordinary the
spirit will appear.
From my own experience, a ghost always
looks real, but you do realise almost immediately that you are seeing a ghost.
It is quite difficult to explain, but the image you perceive has an
insubstantial look about it, not misty or ethereal; somehow, a sixth sense
kicks in and you just know you are seeing a spirit being.
Of course, when you see a ghostly figure
dressed in clothing of a different era, this quickly tells you that you aren’t
actually witnessing a fancy dress party, but that something completely
different is occurring.
In my opinion, there is definitely nothing
to fear from a ghost. After all, they cannot hurt you, except perhaps
emotionally, making you fearful and frightened.
The majority of older children that I know
who have seen a ghost have run screaming into their parents’ bedrooms,
shivering and shaking with fear - a perfectly natural reaction. However, in my
research I have often read that youngsters see ghosts far more often than older
people. The reasons quoted for this make sense; young children don’t have as
many worries and concerns as their older siblings and parents do. They have
more time to look around and soak up the atmosphere of their surroundings.
Youngsters are far more able to tune into the psychic world and see ghosts.
I remember one day when one of my grandsons
was about nine months old. he was sitting on his own on the lawn in the garden
of his home. He was unaware that I was watching him through the window. As I
watched, he suddenly seemed to spot someone and began chatting away to this
invisible person, laughing and waving his arms about. His baby talk and
laughter became louder as his excitement grew. Try as I might, I couldn’t see
who he was talking to. Even the family dog ran into the house, as if he sensed
something unreal was taking place.
It was a pity I couldn’t ask my grandson
who he had been chatting to that summer afternoon, but he was far too young.
All I could tell was that he was really enjoying the chat.
He hasn’t grown up to have any psychic
powers, but he does have a great interest in psychic phenomena, and we’ve had
many an interesting discussion about ghosts and other aspects of this
intriguing science.
In this book, I have written about the
things that I, and the people I know and trust, have tried and believe in.
Jenny Cockell’s book Yesterday’s
Children details how she dreamt of a past life. The book describes her
search for her family. Through her dreams and memories, and with the help of
local maps and women’s groups, she finally tracks them down.
All in all, I was convinced that Jenny
Cockell did experience reincarnation as it doesn’t seem possible that she could
have imagined the whole scenario.
In fact, her book made me even more
determined to try and discover more about this most intriguing subject.
One day I was researching regression on the
Internet and came across a site that offered books and CDs on self-regression.
Here was the opportunity I had been waiting for. I ordered Jenny’s book and CD
straightaway. I have written further on in this book what happened when I
investigated the subject.
A number of years ago, I went to a
hypnotherapist for treatment for a problem I was having. It was a really uncomfortable
incident, as I drifted back to my early childhood. I had been assured it would
be a pleasant experience, but it was far from that. On regressing, I saw a
group of men surrounding a coffin and remember feeling terribly upset. I wanted
the sitting to end, but I hadn’t been given any key words beforehand should I
need them to end the session. I did discover afterwards that the therapist
wasn’t qualified.
Of course, that was my fault for not
checking the register of hypnotherapists before going - a point well worth
considering should you ever decide to visit a hypnotherapist.
I do remember years ago being enthralled by
a hypnotherapist called Joe Keeton, who was an authority on regression. He
undertook thousands of regressions, but never proved conclusively that anyone
had led a past life.
Lots of children have imaginary friends.
These are, of course, different to ghosts as they are simply figments of a
child’s imagination. A child can call on their imaginary friend at any time,
day or night – they are always there for them – whereas ghosts don’t appear to
order. We cannot summon them; they appear when they choose. Imaginary friends
can be called at will and instantly disposed of!
The imaginary friend is usually called upon
by a lonely child, perhaps a child whose older sibling has started school, and
they have been left behind. After always having company all day, every day,
since the day they were born, they are suddenly alone with many empty hours to
fill. No wonder they seek a new friend, and what could be easier than for a
child with a fertile imagination to choose an imaginary friend. The friend can
be of any age or gender the child chooses, they can look how the child wants
them to appear, wear the clothing of their choice and even do the child’s bidding.
What could be better? No arguments, a biddable friend who will do exactly as
asked, play any game, share any storybook, or watch any TV programme the child
chooses; in fact, the perfect friend. A friend who can be blamed for any
misdemeanour the child has committed.
Angel Cards
These cards have increased in popularity in
recent years, and I feel it is because they are easy to read.
I think they are a good starting point for
anyone interested in reading the tarot or playing cards.
The cards I have are extremely well
presented.
On the box, it says: ‘Daily Guidance from
Your Angels. Oracle Cards, A 44-Card Deck and Guidebook’. Doreen Virtue is the
author of the cards, and also many books.
The cards come with a book of instructions
on how you set about your daily readings.
Each card has a beautiful picture covering
about fifty percent of it. The meaning of the card is described at the bottom
of the card.
Doreen gives a good explanation at the
beginning of the booklet as to how to cleanse the cards and how to give
yourself a daily reading.
The cards bring a good feeling when you
hold them, and if you’re looking for good inspirational advice to start your
day, these seem to be one way to go.
As a first step into the psychic world,
these cards are excellent.
I also recommend reading An Angel Called
My Name by Theresa Cheung.
Animals
I think it has been known for centuries
that animals have developed strong instincts.
The majority of the dogs I have owned have
been extremely sensitive. Coming from wolves, they are bound to carry the genes
of the wild, and more often than not, they still use them.
Many dogs sense danger before we humans are
even aware of a bad situation.
One of the dogs I owned, a German Shepherd
called Connie, was extremely intuitive in certain situations. There was one
particular place on our regular walk that she refused to walk past, and I
always had to cross the road. I did some research on the area, but I as far as
I could find, it had always been fields. There had never been a murder or anything
disastrous happening in the locality, so I have always been at a loss as to why
Connie reacted the way she did.
It is claimed that some cats are
extra-perceptive and also sense changes in the weather and possible danger well
before humans do.
Most animals can sense earthquakes before
they occur; they certainly do not need instruments or anything to give them
warnings.
I remember a particularly strong earthquake
in our area a few years ago. The following morning there were no bird sounds
for many hours afterwards; I didn’t hear a dog bark all day. Now that is very
unusual to say the least.
I’ve heard that horses sense danger, and
along with cats and dogs, they know when their owner is ill.
I’ve heard of dogs and cats detecting
cancer in their owners before the owners are aware of it. In fact, they have
saved their owners’ lives by being so sensitive. I understand certain breeds of
dogs are being trained to do this.
I think it pays to watch our pets as they
are able to see and hear far more than we can.
