If you’re serious about your psychic development, then the first step towards developing your psychic abilities further should be to build the skill of getting grounded. If you are new to psychic grounding, think of electricity. Circuits must be grounded to the earth. Once you utilize your psychic ability, you’re in essence becoming a circuit – a psychic circuit. Have you ever heard the term “She appears so well grounded”? This frequently describes someone who is stable and relaxed. That’s the intention of grounding. When you delve into the psychic realm, grounding enables you to strengthen yourself and also relieve any negative energy as well as emotional baggage that you might have been storing within your body.

There are numerous variations of the grounding technique, and grounding can be carried out almost anywhere and at any time. For the purposes of this lesson, we’ll discuss grounding while you are meditating. To begin with, sit comfortably in a chair, ideally with your back straight and your feet flat on the floor, palms down on your knees. Breathe in and out slowly and deeply watching your breath. Some people find it effective to breath in for a count of 1-2-3-4, hold their breath for a count of 1-2 and then release at a count of 1-2-3-4. Do what feels most comfortable to you – there isn’t a right or wrong approach. One word of advice is to breath from your belly and not the chest.

Following that, shut your eyes and imagine in your mind the area of your first chakra, which is at the base of the spine. Picture a column of light and energy extending from that first chakra down through the ground all the way to the center of the earth. This column is hollow, such as a pipe. Seek to imagine a thick energy cord at least 3-6 inches in size. A skinny energy cord is not really as effective as a grounding device. This column can be any color you want. Gold or white is an excellent color. Green can also be good for beginners.

Once you have the cord clearly visualized going to the center of the earth, as you inhale, see pure energy coming up from the earth through your grounding cord and traveling up through the body. When you breathe out, visualize the earth’s core sucking out any kind of undesirable energy or impurities from your body.

Once you initially start grounding, it could take a few moments to go through the actual steps. However, when you become proficient, you can easlily ground anytime, anywhere. You can ground while you are walking, when you are driving – even when you’re on an airplane. When you are finished grounding, picture your current grounding cord basically dissolving.

Grounding is the most basic step on the path to psychic development. Practice grounding regularly and you’re well on your way to building up your psychic abilities.

Reincarnation is one of the basic beliefs in the religions, Hinduism and Buddhism. It sounds like a matter of being practical if you view it from a non-believer’s perspective. If all souls who ever lived were gathered together in an afterlife location, it would be more crowded than Mexico City. With rebirth a reality, it would resolve the problem of overcrowding.

Never ridicule anyone’s religious beliefs. The truth is, no one can prove or disprove the existence of God until they die. There are more individuals who believe in reincarnation than don’t. It sounds practical and is a harmless exploration to think about.

When you travel, you may get that creepy chill up and down your spine upon seeing a place so familiar you know you were there before. However, you never traveled to Italy before and you got the feeling in Rome. You can’t get over the feeling and wonder how you might have remembered it. Was it a past life experience or just a coincidence?

If you are having problems in your current life, you may seek a therapist. There is a therapy for so many of life’s problems. Rational emotive therapy, scream therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and psychoanalysis come to mind. However, if you seriously believe your problem has its roots in a previous life, you might want to go to a past life regression therapist.

For help in locating one, turn to the International Association of Past Life Therapists. I would make sure they are well-education professionals before starting. If you do not seem to be making progress, turn to someone who belongs to the American Psychological Association.

Another possible tool for self-discovery is meditation. You simply train yourself to sit quietly, repeat a familiar phrase over and over until you are relaxed in a trance like state. Your thoughts will turn back to earlier years and perhaps earlier lives as well. Nothing can be proved but you can develop insight to help you enjoy the present life. If meditation isn’t suitable for you, there are other methods to explore.

There are well-educated therapists that take additional training in hypnosis therapy. She may help explore those experiences that lead you to believe you had a previous life. Hypnosis is a safe therapy when handled by a reputable therapist. It is not unusual for someone to remember a name or place they suspect they knew in past life. Something like that can be verified.

If there is a memory or feeling that can’t be explained by anything in your experience, a past life situation may be explanatory. It cannot hurt to think it over and try to analyze it. If hypnotic therapy assists the process, that can’t be a bad aid to this life.

Whether or not you believe in the past life experience theory, try to focus on the life you can enjoy now. If you lived before, don’t expect to discover you were famous or rich. You may have been the opposite gender you are now or died at an early age. The important thing is to focus your attention forward. Understanding the past is good, but only pursue it with an academically trained therapist. Your best way to enjoy life now, is focus on the future and how you can enjoy it.

For those who don’t know yet, the Book of Mormon was first published in 1830 by a certain Joseph Smith Jr., who claimed to have found gold plates that he discovered buried (in 1823) near his home at Manchester NY. Joseph also stated that a divine being literally guided him to the plates. The plates were encrypted in something similar to ancient Egyptian, which took Joseph the good part of seven years to decipher. The book speaks of the story of Adam and Eve, and also the last days, very much like the Bible does. However, as we will see – there are also striking differences between classic Christianity and Mormonism.

This publication led to the establishment of the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and its members are referred to as Mormons or Latter Day Saints. As with any new doctrine, Mormonism was, and still is, often frowned upon by the classic believers and some even refer to Mormonism as evil. On the other hand, the Mormons claim that they do not preach anything out of context as far as the Bible goes, and are themselves said believers of the Bible as well. The book of Mormon, they claim compliments the Bible and not oppose it.

The Church of Latter Day Saints having been initiated in America, Mormonism obviously has a faithful following in the country – more than any other country to date, in fact. However, the religion has spread far and wide, thanks to the undying (and often frowned upon) efforts of Mormon ‘missionaries’. Mormonism is propagated more through word of mouth than any other methodical approach, and their seemingly hush-hush meets sometimes leads to the belief that Mormonism is a cult, or more of a fraternity than a true religion.

The most striking difference between classic Christianity and Mormonism is probably the difference in opinion on God. Mormons believe in different forms of the Supreme Being, even a man who attained enlightenment and practiced to perfection before being escalated into a state of godliness.

They believe in a God who has flesh and blood, and even a wife…The bible on the other hand clearly speaks of ONE Supreme Being, the creator of the universe and all things in it. Another touchy aspect of the Mormon-Christian arguments is the Mormon belief that the Bible probably has more than a few errors, and the ONE sacred and untouched text is the Book of Mormon. In answer, Christians believe that it is blasphemy to suggest such a thing!

While most religious traditions have beliefs that are considered bizarre by those outside that faith, Mormons seem to have the most beliefs that are routinely rejected by non-Mormons because of their oddness or their ability to be disproved. Here is a countdown of 10 of the most unusual Mormon beliefs.

10. The earth is 7,000 years old. There is no official statement by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints about the age of the earth, but many Mormons (and many Christians of some sects) believe that the age of the earth is on the order of thousands of years rather than billions calculated by widely accepted scientific methods.

9. Mars and Venus have dry rivers. The dry rivers on Mars and Venus were the source of the flowing rivers on earth. The theory is that the dry rivers on Mars and Venus “match” the rivers on Earth and that proves that all three planets were organized from the same source.

8. Dinosaur bones come from other planets. LDS Church Institute instructors teach that fossilized dinosaur bones are from creatures that lived on other worlds that were destroyed in the creation of the earth.

7. Mormon scripture teaches that Cain, who killed his brother Abel, was so evil that God “cursed” him with black skin, thus creating the African race. In a related belief, though the LDS church has deemed any worthy male to be part of the priesthood, black males were not recognized in this capacity until 1978.

6. In cases of the sin of murder, the murder of the sinner and the mixing of his blood with the earth bring forgiveness. In 1977 after the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty, Gary Gilmore chose to be executed by firing squad in Utah due to his belief in blood atonement.

5. In 1960, The Prophet Spencer W. Kimball taught that when Native Americans become Mormons their skin turns white. He said “The [Indian] children in the home placement program in Utah are often lighter than their brothers and sisters in the hogans on the reservation.”

4. Also on the subject of Native Americans, the preface to the Book of Mormon from 1981 indicates that descendents of Lehi are a “remnant of the House of Israel” and were ancestors to American Indians. However, the DNA of Native Americans indicates an Asian origin.

3. When a marriage is sealed in the Temple, a husband can know his wife’s celestial name, but she cannot know his. This is so that if he so chooses, he can resurrect her after her death by calling her celestial name.

2. Mormons believe that after the resurrection, Jesus visited America and there he performed miracles and taught.

1. Kolub is a star mentioned in the Book of Abraham as being closest to the throne of God. The Book of Abraham is canonized by the LDS church, Mormon fundamentalist organizations, and other LDS sects. Kolub inspired “Kobol” in Mormon Glen A. Larson’s Battlestar Galactica universe.

Over the past 2 millennia, Christianity and the Catholic Church has evolved and grown to become the largest religious group in the world today. Although Christianity began as a Jewish sect with belief in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, over the centuries, many cults, sects, and groups like the Mormons, evolved to impart their own understanding and beliefs of the teachings of Jesus Christ.

All over the World, Christians and Christianity is often divided along ethnic, linguistic, beliefs and traditions. These differences gave birth to the different denominations in Christianity like the Puritans, Baptists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, and some cults and sects, and groups too – like the Mormons.

But are the Mormons really a cult or sect, or is there something more than that – or maybe less than what they are assumed to be. What are their beliefs, rites, rituals, and secrets? Generally, a cult or a sect is seen as Devil worshippers or those who are radically opposed to the beliefs of the majority, and even as separatists and fundamentalists.

The Mormons are members of the Mormon Church, or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is a restorationist Christian church. It is the largest denomination, which originates from the movement founded by Joseph Smith, Jr. in 1830, and is also known as Latter Day Saint movement.

The central tenet of Latter Day Saint movement (LDS)/Mormons is their belief and faith in Jesus Christ. Despite their belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and the Savior, they are considered non-traditional members of Christianity. The Mormons believe in salvation only through Jesus Christ, but the differences with the Catholic Church and other major denominations, and Christian churches is their belief in the ?Book of Mormon?, from which the followers derived their name.

The Mormons believe that the ?Book of Mormon? was translated from some golden plates found by Joseph Smith and was first published in 1830. According to the Book, Mormon was a 4th century prophet/historian who compiled records of his ancestors in a book – Book of Mormon. The Book is believed to record the teachings of Jesus Christ, and many other prophets, and their travels and ministry among the civilizations of pre-Columbian Americas.

Besides the ?Bible? (Old and New Testament) as the main scriptural text, the Mormons also believe in scriptural text like The ?Book of Mormon?, ?Doctrine and Covenants?, and the ?Pearl of Great Price?, and this often sets them at loggerheads with the Catholic Church, and other denominations. Another of their beliefs is that Jesus Christ, as the leader and head of the Church, reveals HIS will and instructions to the President of the Church (looked upon as a modern day prophet), and individual members also receive revelations from GOD in conducting their daily life. Besides this, some fundamentalist Mormon groups also believe in plural marriages.

All these beliefs and differences sets them apart from the majority groups in Christianity, and hence the misconception that the Mormons are a cult/sect. But every human being has a right to try and find GOD, Truth, and religion in their own way, and with their own belief in what will lead them to salvation. As long as a group or movement does not indulge in mysterious rites, rituals, and human/animal sacrifices, it is not right to brand them as a cult or sect.

A portion of our entire potential of mindpower is only used. Scientists believe we only access ten percent of full potential. It’s unthinkable of what it would be like if we could access that remaining ninety percent! The results would be incredible!

Whether born with extra sensory or psychic powers, scientists believe these are powers people were able to access within their own minds. Whether they had been born with these increased mindpower abilities or they were developed throughout life.

Through the process of quantum physics it is starting to be thought that the true nature or the link between real life and true nature is by what we think and what we experience in life.

Recent scientific studies are also beginning to confirm what the ancient beliefs have been saying for thousands of years. They believed that reality is just a product of your mind, and though the changes in the way you think, you can change your reality. Reality IS Mindpower!

There have been films about mindpower. ‘The Secret’ explains the theory of the law of attraction. Through the powerful mindpower a person can view life in a certain way and attract anything they want to into their life.

The theory of the law of attraction, concerns the entire universe and believes that everything people do creates a cause and has an effect. So no matter what you think about you can get! Learning to communicate though with your subconscious is a big part of this. You need to be able to tell it exactly what you want, or your mind will just believe that you have what you want. Scientifically this is known as a state of homeostasis.

What reacts with the universe is called universal consciousness. It’s a way to manifest your desires by using the subconscious mind which is responsible for all the esp powers, for example, telepathy, remove viewing, and precognition.

Developing your mindpower it is key to communicate with your subconscious mind. There are a number of ways to do this.

Affirmations are when you are repeating a positive phrase to yourself several times a day eventually your subconscious mind will understand and believe it too.

If someone was low on self esteem, they could repeat to themselves positive affirmations about their self image in a positive way to help them raise their self esteem. This also works with getting rid of their bad habits. If they tell themselves several times a day that they don’t need a cigarette or whatever habit they wish to break, eventually they will believe it. The mind is a powerful tool.

Repeating your affirmations on a daily basis, you will see them start to work. You speak to your subconscious mind, telling your mind that you want something different and eventually you will start to behave differently..

Going even further with this thought is to realize that you can change anything about yourself. Whatever you want to change about yourself, will happen, and only ‘you’ can make it reality. This is what we call mindpower.

Visualize what you want to see happen. Using what you see to develop mindpower is when you can close your eyes and think about what you’d like to happen. Your subconscious state of mind will react powerfully to those pictures. If you see yourself being successful, and think about everything you ever wanted for yourself. Visualize the new car you wanted, or that house you had your eyes on. If you were to cut out pictures of all the things you want before you sit down to visualize it all, you will see it clearer, and be able to focus. Do this often, and eventually all these things will appear in your life.

Psychic powers, telepathy, and looking into the future can also be visualized and later attained. Exercising your mindpower will only make it that much more powerful!

Though hypnosis you can communicate with your subconscious mind and help to develop your mindpower. You can visit a professional hypnotist, or a hypnotherapist that will help you to get into a totally relaxed state and help you to get into your subconscious mind. Communicating subconsciously will help you to develop your mindpower. A trained hypnotist or hypnotherapist can help you put things into your subconscious mind which you will remember when you wake up.

There have been excellent results in self hypnosis. People will play a recording in which they are relaxed, and the recording begins to add the different suggestions into your subconscious mind. The great part of self hypnosis is being able to listen to it over and over, and also the price of self hypnosis is cheaper than using a hypnotist or a hypnotherapist.

A new audio technology for brainwave entrainment called brainwave synchronization. Brainwave synchronization changes your brainwaves instantly to a different frequency. The result of this, can be many different things. A certain frequency can improve your memory, while another frequency may release endorphins that could heal or alleviate pain.

Other frequencies allow you to get into a state of meditation very quickly. This is necessary for you to be to successfully communicate with your subconscious mind.

Specific frequencies can stimulate a part of your body known as the chakra energy center. This chakra energy is in the center of your forehead where a third eye would be. That is why they call it the third eye chakra which is responsible for the psychic powers.

It is believed that these powers are not even needed to be ‘developed’ they are already ready, just locked inside your mind. It used to be believed thousands of years ago, humans had enhanced mindpower but it had become repressed and locked within the mind.

So we may say we need to develop mindpower, but really we are just trying to find the keys to unlock all the powers and potential that everyone already has.
