Clairvoyant ReaJin3

L, earnin3 to Read yourself

In this chapter, you will learn the clairvoyant reading techniques that are the foundation of this book.

These simple techniques can be learned by almost anyone for the purpose of accessing information.

You can use them when reading yourself or other people, animals, energies, etc. This particular chapter provides exercises for reading and healing yourself. In the following chapter, you will learn how to apply these techniques during readings on other people.

As a beginning clairvoyant student, it is best to perform the following exercises when you are alone. If you are indoors, it is essential to secure yourself in a room where no one else is present or will be coming in. If you are outside, then find an area where you are the least likely to be disturbed.

The ideal time to practice these techniques is when no one else will be in the house. As you practice your psychic tools and perform clairvoyant readings, your energy will change and whoever is around will unconsciously sense this and become very curious about what you are doing. Therefore, they will likely come up with a very good excuse to disturb you, whether that means knocking on your door or energetically joining you, which may make it more difficult for you to concentrate.

Unplugging the phone is also essential, since this is usually the time when your relatives will call. If you feel you are being distracted by other people, then invite their energy to go into a glass bubble, look to see what color their energy might look like, and visualize the bubble floating back to them.

Make sure you turn off any music within hearing distance and especially the television set. Music may be relaxing for some forms of meditation, but it can be very distracting when reading. If you clairvoyantly read in a room (or house) where a television set is turned on, you will likely start picking up images from the television, which will interfere with the images of the energies you are intending to read.

Informing the Universe of Your Intention to Read

The time you spend doing a clairvoyant reading is unique from the rest of your day. You are accessing a part of yourself that has different intentions, concerns, energies, and relationships.

Therefore it is helpful to make it clear to your body, mind, and spirit that you are embarking on a special project that requires a shift. This can be done by establishing a routine that you go through prior to every reading. As part of this routine, and to help your body make this transition, it is helpful to put your body into a position that will give it the signal that it is time to perform a reading (the same is true for meditation or even writing). Designate a room, a part of a room, or a chair that is intended only for clairvoyant reading. At the very least, find a cushion to place on your chair, or a cozy blanket to drape over your shoulders, or some warm slippers for your feet that you will use only when you read.

Sit in the same position every time you read. I recommend sitting upright with your feet on the floor since this will facilitate your grounding and make it easier to stay awake (since we always or usually sleep in a reclining position, our bodies are programmed to fall asleep when placed in a reclining position). This is also the position you will be most likely to sit in when reading another

person. Placing your hands on your lap with your palms facing upward will facilitate the flow of your energy and will also serve as a cue in future reading sessions that you are intending to perform a reading. Close your eyes and keep them closed until you are finished with your session and ready to shift back into your other daily activities.

Whatever you do to set yourself up for a reading, it is important to do it in a way that is as nurturing as possible, as with meditation. This is your special time to go inward, to shower yourself with the personal attention, respect, and love that you deserve and need in order to lead a happy, stable life. When you give to yourself in this way, you send a message out into the universe that you are worthy and open to receiving respect and love in general, and you will begin to attract other people who reflect these qualities back to you (see chapter 22).

Accessing your clairvoyance will be easier if you meditate beforehand. If you have followed the steps given thus far in this chapter, you will find that you are now in an ideal situation/position for meditation as well as for clairvoyant reading. Meditation helps you focus and empties out the extraneous thoughts cluttering your mind. It also helps you relax your body. Clairvoyant reading can be done anywhere, at any time, regardless of how you have prepared yourself. Reading in itself is a type of meditation, since it requires complete concentration and focus. If you read for fifteen minutes or longer, you will discover that your consciousness and brain waves have shifted. However, it is much easier and safer to access your psychic abilities when your mind is clear. If you begin to read without first meditating, you will find that the first several minutes (if not longer) of your reading time will be spent releasing those pesky thoughtforms that have nothing to do with the reading, particularly if you are new to psychic reading.

To prepare yourself for a reading, I recommend that you take about twenty minutes to run through the psychic tools presented in chapters 6-12 before attempting to access your clairvoyance. If you have other meditation styles or techniques that you prefer, then meditate in any way you'd like and complete the last five or ten minutes of your meditation with a run-through of the psychic tools. The psychic tools are not only meant to protect and heal you during your clairvoyant reading, they are also warm-up exercises for utilizing your visualization/ clairvoyance. Once you feel grounded, centered, energized, and protected (using the psychic tools or whatever methods you'd like), you are ready to begin reading.

Prayer

Beginning your reading/meditation with a prayer will help you set the energy of your session and connect with the source of your energy and information, and will serve as a further cue to let your spirit know that it is time to access your clairvoyance. It will also serve as protection. Any prayer that you like will work. Some people prefer a structured prayer, while others may say a mantra or some simple words of gratitude. I usually start a reading with words of gratitude regarding the reading, such as this: "Thank you, God, for the gift of my clairvoyance. Thank you for helping bring forth the most helpful information at this time. I thank you for your protection, your wisdom, and your assistance as well as the assistance of the universe and all of my guides."

The energy of gratitude is one of the highest forms of energy that exists. Within gratitude there is joy, acceptance, love, and forgiveness. When you pray by expressing your gratitude, either for what

has already occurred or for what you hope to manifest, you are bringing these healing energies into your reading space as well as into your life. Structured prayers such as the Lord's Prayer are beneficial to recite when dealing with negative energies, because they are highly energized by the masses of people who have recited them throughout history.

The words of your prayer are, for the most part, insignificant compared to the zeal with which you pray. Whether you are making up your own words or reciting a well-known prayer, your prayers will be much more effective if you are focused and aware of every single word, and you say each word not just with your mouth or brain but with every ounce of your being. This is true whether you pray to God, to Jesus Christ, to Muhammad, to your Creator (whoever that is), to the universe, or to a particular saint, ascended master, spirit, etc.

Clairvoyant Read.in3 Technique

The preliminary steps just described are highly recommended to help you prepare to access your clairvoyance. However, the following three steps are the meat and potatoes of a clairvoyant reading:

creating a reading screen, creating a viewing receptacle, and calling energy into your viewing receptacle. If you perform nothing else in this book except the following three fundamental steps, you at the very least will know how to access your clairvoyance.

Creating a Readin3 Screen

If you are going to access psychic information through clairvoyance, you must have a place where this information can be displayed. Just like you need a television screen in order to watch a television program, or a monitor in order to view information on your computer, you will need a reading screen in order to view your clairvoyant images. From the center of the inside of your head, with your eyes closed, image that you are looking out through your third eye (located at the middle of your forehead, in between and slightly above your physical eyes) at a screen that is placed a few inches out from your forehead. Notice or decide what this screen looks like. It can be the size of a small television screen or as big as a movie screen in an extravagant theater. Notice if the screen has a of time, if you don't get an impression of how it looks, then make a decision to design it a certain way. Sometimes your screen or another object you are attempting to visualize already exists, and the

manipulation) will be a result of the energy that is affecting it.

Grounchn3 your Reaclin3 Screen

You can release any mischievous energy from your reading screen (including energy that might be getting in the way of you focusing or visualizing your screen) by giving your reading screen a grounding cord. In chapter 7 you learned how to create a grounding cord by connecting your body to viewing receptacle that you can place on the screen. Within this receptacle will appear the energy/informa tion that you wish to read in the form of color and images. A reading screen is like a dining room table. You sit yourself down at the table and on it you place a receptacle, like a bowl, which will hold your soup. If you poured your soup directly onto the table, your soup would spill all over. It would not only be difficult to eat your soup, but there would be a big mess that would require a lot of effort to clean up. A viewing receptacle placed on your screen is like a disposable bowl placed on a table. It contains the energy and information so it that it can be digested as easily as it can be disposed of. The viewing receptacle not only receives information/energy in the form of images and colors, but will be directly affected by energy so that its appearance will be altered. You will read the energy initially by watching to see how the receptacle is affected.

The viewing receptacle can be visualized as any neutral object, such as a bubble, balloon, or flower. Most of the clairvoyant training programs throughout the country suggest using the image of a rose as the receptacle. A rose is a good image to work with because it can be visualized in a very simple manner, such as in outline form, or in all of the complexity of a real rose with its numerous petals, leaves, and thorns. Roses come in all different colors, shapes, and sizes, they can be open or closed in a variety of positions, and they can be destroyed easily by plucking away their petals. Also, because a rose has a stem that grows from the ground, it has its own naturally built-in grounding cord. The image of the rose was always used as the viewing receptacle in my own clairvoyant training and is therefore the one I am most comfortable with. I will use the word rose interchangeably with the term viewing receptacle throughout this book.

Since a rose can be visually complex, it is helpful to place a real living rose or a picture of a rose in front of you and closely observe it before trying to visualize one. Over time it will become easier to create this image in your imagination. If you feel that the image of a rose is too complex, I suggest

just starting off with the image of a glass soap bubble and gradually working your way up to that of a

See the size and the shape. You have just created a viewing receptacle! If you are having difficulty visualizing the rose or whatever image you are using, then give the receptacle a grounding cord.

Connect the stem of your rose into the center of the planet, and postulate that the gravity of the earth is effortlessly sucking up any energies that may be interfering with your visualization.

If you notice that your receptacle is doing something unusual or taking on a life of its own, don't be alarmed! Your rose is being affected by some kind of energy and you are already performing a reading by seeing the effects of this energy! Whenever something unusual happens with an image that as simple as inviting this energy into your viewing receptacle and then asking your viewing receptacle to show you the answer in the form of colors and images. Here are three methods for doing this. I recommend that you do all three exercises, although this is not essential.

Exe rcise 1

On your reading screen, create an image of a neutral clear glass rose. Study the shape of the rose and the petals. Next, imagine that the rose you have created is traveling to the outermost layer of your aura. Take a few moments to see what happens to your rose. Did the appearance of your rose change?

If you notice anything unusual or different about the rose, ask whatever change has occurred in the rose to give you another color, image, or message about the meaning of what you are looking at in the rose. Then destroy this rose by imagining that is it exploding into a million pieces.

Exe rcise 2

On your reading screen, with your imagination, create an image of a rose. See the color, shape, and size. Study this rose for a few moments. Now postulate that the stem of the rose is a grounding cord.

Ground the rose deeply into the center of the planet. Postulate that the rose represents yourself and that the stem/grounding cord is going to release any foreign energies that you are now ready to release. Watch the rose and its grounding cord and notice if anything changes about the rose. You can end the exercise as soon as you see a change occur, or you can continue with a more in-depth reading by investigating the meaning of these changes. Further investigation involves asking the rose more questions and then waiting for further changes in the rose or for images to appear. Remember to destroy the rose when you are finished. You can see it exploding, or imagine that you are erasing it with a colorful eraser, or pretend that it's dissolving in a brilliant fire.

Exe rcise 3

On your reading screen, create another image of a neutral transparent rose made of glass. Postulate that the rose represents something in your life that you would like to create, such as a job, a lover, money, happiness, etc. Before consciously manipulating the rose in any way, just watch the clear rose and notice what happens to it. Does the color change? How open is the rose? What is its posture like (standing erect or wilting)? Is there a particular color coming into the rose? How many petals are there? Are there leaves or thorns on the stem? After watching the rose for a few minutes, you will most likely notice something happening that you did not intend to happen. You will probably be curious about at least one aspect of the rose. So continue with your reading by asking the rose to tell you the meaning of that aspect.

For example, let's say your rose turns purple and pink, there are only a few petals on the bud, and the whole flower is drooping to the left. There are so many aspects to explore! In this example you could first ask the purple to tell you what it represents. Once you pose a question to it, just relax and watch. You should not be trying to figure anything out because this process has nothing to do with your logical mind. Just wait and literally see what happens. (For many clairvoyants, students and experts alike, the hardest part of reading is being patient and letting go of the need to control.) and again watch the rose to see what happens to it. When you are completely finished with this exercise and satisfied that your rose represents only you and the vibration you would like to create it in (for example, enthusiasm versus fear), then imagine that you are sending it off to God or the universe to help with your creation.

Troubleshooting

I am not a visually orie nte d pe rson. I am having trouble visualizing my scre e n and my vie wing re ce ptacle . What can I do?

For some people, visualization takes practice. Start with a simple visualization exercise, focusing on just one aspect of a simple object. For example, hold a piece of fruit in your hand, like an apple. Study it for a few minutes and then close your eyes and imagine that you are looking at the same apple.

Some people become overwhelmed by their expectations of how their visualizations or clairvoyant images are supposed to look. Sometimes I can visualize an object as vividly as if I were seeing it with my physical eyes, while at other times, I can just see enough of an object to know it is there. If all you can muster up is the outline of an object, then that is completely acceptable. If you are unable to do even that, then just postulate that you are visualizing the object.

Whe n I call the e ne rg y I want to se e into my vie wing re ce ptacle , nothing happe ns. All I se e is black.

Congratulations! You are seeing something ... black! There is a reason for everything you see and everything you don't see! If you draw a blank or just blackness, there are a couple things you can do.

First, be patient. Continue to watch the black (or nothingness) for a few minutes and see what happens.
