The Psychic Pathway to Joy By Sonia Choquette

One of the more exciting ways to tune into your Inner voice is and let it heal and guide your life is to carry around a little pocket notebook or tape recorder.  Every time you feel any little hint, twinge, vibe or subtle notion, rather than mulling it over and wondering whether or not it is valid, or ignoring it, simply notice the "vibe" and write it down or record it.  Writing down or recording these feelings will accomplish several important things.  First, it tells your subconscious mind that you now intend to notice
and value your "vibes."  Second, it frees you from the temptation to ignore your intuition. Writing down your perceptions clears your mind, and if done regularly, it will provide you with feedback on what disturbs your peace and what ushers it in.

One way to stay tuned into what nurtures your spirit is to share your personal intuitive insights with loving and supportive people. Sometimes simply being able to share your intuitive feelings with a sympathetic friend is all you need in order to trust and act on what your spirit is telling you.  The right kind of friend will help you honor your intuition and assure you that you are not “crazy.” Safely sharing your “vibes” with a “soul supporter” will help you remain faithful to your heart.

Remaining in touch with those you love is vital to your sense of personal joy and well-being.  With so many people losing touch on today’s fast paced world, this becomes harder and harder to do. If you feel disconnected from someone special, simply focus on your heart and think of that person.  Say his name to yourself and ask Divine Spirit to surround him with a pure white light of loving protection.  Imagine this white light completely covering him wherever he is.  See him in your mind's eye as safe, protected and in total peace.  And send him your love. And while you are at it, include yourself in this blessing as well.  This simple exercise is almost always felt, and often that very person will contact you soon after they feel your good “vibes” coming their way.

What if I’m wrong?
When it comes to listening to intuition, being “right” shouldn't be your absolute goal.  Especially when you are just beginning to become more sensitive to energy.  Accurately picking up on energy is a refined skill that develops with lots of practice and lots of errors if you are to become good at it.  And besides, if you pick up troubling vibes, and yet nothing seems amiss, don't be so sure you were off.  You may be tuning into a precarious moment where real danger or imbalance does exist, but the situation may correct itself somehow before it evolves into a real or more serious problem.  After all energy, and life, is not fixed, but always in a state of motion.

Sometimes people experience what I call “bad vibes” which cause them to feel worried or anxious. if you feel such negative energy settling over you, for whatever reason, you can do this exercise to restore healing and balance:
First, take a few slow, relaxing breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth. Next, focus your full attention on the center of your heart and surround yourself with a golden white light.  Then, acknowledge three things that you love about yourself. As you acknowledge your lovable qualities, feel this flow of self-love and acceptance moving throughout your entire energy field. Next, if you know the source of your bad vibes, imagine it too being surrounded by white light.  If you don’t know the source, ask Divine Spirit to surround the unknown problem and remove it from your energy field. See yourself completely engulfed in love- appreciating, healing, calming and balancing your vibration. Do this for two or three minutes. When you are finished, open your eyes.

1. When you wake up in the morning, give yourself three loving compliments
2. Before you go to sleep, think of three good things that happened to you that day.
3. When you brush your teeth in the morning, look into your eyes and say, “I love you,” and mean it.
4. During the day, pay attention to any subtle energy shifts, and ask your heart for guidance when anything is off balance.
5. Put a white loving light of protection around yourself every day.
6. Every three hours think of at least one thing that makes you laugh
7. Appreciate yourself for making at least one creative choice a day

“Being aware of an intuition is only part of the process, when it comes to living a centered and joy-filled life. Putting your intuitive guidance into action in the world is the other part?  When you do that you put value on it, and when you put value on your intuition it can then begin to help you in life.”

Trust your psychic “vibes”, your
Intuition, and act on its counsel.  Take
a leap of faith into the world of the extraordinary!

“Spirit” Speak
The easier it is to talk about your intuition, the more likely you’ll use it.  I call this using the language of spirit.  What words do you use to describe your intuition?  Some common and comfortable ways are :
Vibes
Gut feeling
A hit
My radar
Marching orders
My antennae
My feelings

Look at the stars!
Noticing your intuition is like noticing stars.  For the longest time you can go along never noticing the night sky overhead.  Then one night you look up and notice sparkling stars in the sky.  Taken by their lovely twinkle, you become drawn into the blackness, seeking more bright sky lights.  At first you may see only a few, then more, then still more, until quite spontaneously your whole perception shifts and suddenly the skies seem to explode with thousands upon thousands of stars.  It's humbling to realize that although these lights were in the sky all along, you are just noticing them for the first time.

We need to pay very close attention to
how others' energy affects us so that we
can take steps to prevent them from affecting
us negatively.

This is a great tool to clear old or stagnant energy and bring in a fresh new energy:
First, go outside. (If weather doesn't permit go into a quiet room.)  Stamp your feet or better yet, jump up and down a few times and draw in a deep, clear breath.  Next, rub your hands over your aura as though you were washing a windshield and then shake them vigorously in the air.  Next imagine yourself bathed in a loving white light pouring in at the top of your head and settling into your heart.  While doing this imagine everything and everyone that bothers you draining into the ground and away from your aura. Now imagine a golden white energy light taking its place, filling your heart and aura with peaceful feelings and a warm glow around your body.

Get grounded!
Cleanse negative energy and replace it with positive light energy with a technique called grounding.  Grounding means literally connecting your awareness to the ground.  Running, jumping, exercising, touching the dirt, hugging trees, smelling flowers -- all these activities will ground the energy in the body and pull out unwanted negativity

Here are some other great grounding techniques:
Take a brisk walk
Garden,
Do the dishes
Drum
Dance, jump rope,
Cook, bake bread, chop vegetables, do the laundry,
Give your self a foot massage,
Go barefoot in the grass

If you are routinely bogged down with negative energy try this technique to clear your aura and brighten up once again:

DOWN THE DRAIN!
Imagine all the debris floating in your aura.
Next, take in along deep breath and imagine this
Psychic debris leaving your aura with your exhale.
Inhale once again filling your aura with a cleansing
Golden-white light.  Repeat this 2 or 3 times.
Then carry on with your day.

Establishing Boundaries

One of the most important things we need to learn in life is to set boundaries so that others will not manipulate or invade us.  Being aware of your aura and of how other's people's energy affects you and then clear it away is one important way to do this. This is intuitive self-defense, and using it gives you tools to use anywhere, anytime, to identify trouble and move away from its source. One of your best self-care tools is your left and right foot.  When you are exposed to any kind of soul distressing energy, whenever possible, use them and LEAVE! Get away from negativity as fast as you can, even making up an excuse if necessary, such as “I don’t know why, but suddenly I don’t feel well and need some FRESH air!”  Do not just stand in the midst of negative energy and take it in.  it will make you sick!

Nothing restores you to your natural state of inner joy more effectively than a walk in nature.  This is so effective for aura balancing that you may want to incorporate a short walk into your daily routine just as an insurance policy for health and happiness.  Even twice around the block will be sufficient to drain away interference, eliminate psychic pollution and restore clarity in your auric field.

Cleanse the day away by taking an Epsom salt bath, a remedy I learned from my sister Cuky, who is a massage therapist and energy healer.
To do this, fill a tub up to the top with hot water and add three cups of Epsom salts.  Soak in this bath until the water is cool, then rinse off in the shower.
This is a fantastic way to clear away the effects of wear and tear on your spirit  as eliminate toxins in the body, and due to its relaxing effect, it will ring on a wonderful night's sleep.
