			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Question:</strong></p>
<p>Is it a good idea to consult a phone psychic? I heard they&#8217;re usually scammers. How can I know if one is legit and can be trusted?<br />
<strong>Answer:</strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re decided on consulting a psychic, it is generally advised to visit one in person. If you can find reputable ones in your area, all the better.</p>
<p>There have been too many stories from people who worked on psychic hotlines and many admit to it being a scam. In person, you can at least have a better chance at judging whether someone is actually legit or is just out to drain your pockets.</p>
<p>With a local psychic you can at least sit infront of them making it easier to discern if someone is lying or is just feeding you truisms. They also don&#8217;t have incentive to try to string you on and keep you on the line for more money by prlonging your conversation. You only pay for what you came for and the money goes back to the community.</p>
<p>Always go to psychics with a little skepticism. While you may believe in psychic abilities, you will need to judge whether the person in front of you is really capable or not. Try to let them speak more than you do. After all, they are the ones giving you advice.</p>
<p>With local psychics, you can ask around and even get testimonials from people you trust so it&#8217;s a lot easier to be informed properly.</p>
<p>More importantly, try to have fun. If you are desperate or depressed, guess what kind of energy you&#8217;re putting out and the psychic is picking up - very negative. And when you are constantly in this kind of state it doesn&#8217;t take much psychic ability to know you don&#8217;t have peaches and roses well into your future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is based on the audio book, Your Psychic Power by Sonia Choquette:</p>
<p>1. Psychic gifts are gifts of the soul, not of the ego</p>
<p>2. We are all souls therefore we all have psychic abilities</p>
<p>3. You are entitled to develop your psychic gifts. They are yours from birth.</p>
<p>4. Psychic messages that you get come from a divine source. They are intended to help you understand your true divine nature.</p>
<p>5. Psychic gifts, when embraced and used, benefit everyone around you.  We are all spirits interconnected.</p>
<p>6. Psychic gifts bring light, balance and healing. Messages of the soul will bring you into a greater state of harmony.</p>
<p>7. The universe loves you and the more you feel the love and guidance of the universe the more you can become a loving and guiding light for others.</p>
<p>8. The psychic&#8217;s path is a gentle, subtle process. True psychic messages will never ask you to do anything that is threatening to your well-being or to the well-being of anyone around you.</p>
<p>9. True psychic guidance is not intended to flatter you and is directed towards your soulful expression. True psychic messages reveal that we are all spiritual beings, we are<br />
all souls and we all have a place and a plan and a path that can coexist in peace.</p>
<p>10. Being psychic is delightful. It&#8217;s a joyful, magical experience.</p>

If psychics are so good at predicting what will happen, why don&#8217;t they just use that power to win every lottery every week?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Question</b></p>
<p>My 6-year old child has been showing some strange behavior lately, one me and my husband can only describe as psychic. He reports visions, imaginary people and sounds.</p>
<p>He has mentioned some things he should not know and we have later verified to be true.</p>
<p>I am not fully convinced about psychic stuff so I would like to see a specialist to know if my son is really psychic or just possess an overactive imagination.</p>
<p>I heard of places that work with children but am unsure who they are and how to contact them.</p>
<p>Any idea of an organization that works with children with psychic gifts? We just need someone that can either verify or explain if the boy indeed has this gift.</p>

He gained prominence in the 70s when he did TV and media appearances where he performed various telekinetic demonstrations, such as bending spoons and stopping watches.  He claimed he used purely paranormal abilities in those demonstrations although this has been refuted time and again by different people, including stage magicians who can perform the same tricks.</p>

This is a difficult choice because with the anonymity of the internet, anyone can come in and pretend to be a psychic.

<p>With this apparent dilemma,  how do you ensure you&#8217;re getting a good, reliable psychic instead of a two-bit hack?<br />
Personally, I&#8217;ve had good experience with online psychics.  But they were ones who had their own sites, who had people I knew online who knew them personally and they had credential.</p>

<p>Many famous mediums have come into contact with spirit guides without their own prodding.  Some people are just naturally sensitive spirtually and it&#8217;s the guides that come to them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>X-Files is a science fiction television show from the 1990s starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, as Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. They played FBI agents tasked to investigate &#8220;X-Files&#8221; cases, a division that took to task working on bizaare events and unexplained  phenomena.</p>
<p>The show became a cult phenomenon with its paranoid undertones and conspiracy theories.  The show featured episodes ranging from paranormal activity, government conspiracies, dangerous experiments, and extraterrestrial life.</p>
<p>In the show, Mulder plays the role of the believer, completely convinced of the existence of the paranormal and extraterrestrial while Scully, a doctor,  stood by as the skeptic, initially doubtful of Mulder&#8217;s enthusiasm but slowly converted into the same beliefs as they both fall into the same strange events later on.  Surprisingly, the show ended its amazing 9-year run with neither of the protagonists expressing romantic feelings for each other, solidifying the no-nonsense history of the show.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chakras, being the energy pathways of our body, can get blocked.  Negative thoughts and emotions can trigger  imbalance and cause one or more blockage in the upward flow of energy through our chakras, preventing our body from receving sufficient vital energy. Blockage exists when there is too little or no energy flowing in a particular chakra.</p>
<p>Illnesses and personal troubles will often manifest in the chakras as blockages before showing any physical signs in your body.  Releasing these blocks and promoting proper energy flow will thus help you in many aspects of your life.</p>
<p>Different techniques are employed to identify and clear blockages, among which are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Personal and Guided Meditations</li>
<li>Spiritual Counseling</li>
<li>Chakra Balancing</li>
<li>Strengthening of Desire</li>
<li>Inner Child Retrieval</li>
<li>Affirmations</li>
<li>Spiritual Healing</li>
<li>Mediumship</li>
<li>Past Life Regression</li>
<li>Positive Affirmative Action.</li>
</ul>
<p>Lower chakras relate to issues of the material world, like finances, confidence, and sexuality.  Blockages in these can cause low self-esteem, financial scarcity and poor  sexual performance.</p>
<p>The higher chakras relate to deeper issues like love, spirituality, intuition and communication.  Blockages can casue problems or deficiences in those areas, as well as possible illnesses related to each.</p>
<p>Read our page on <a href="http://www.psychicdev.com/what-are-chakras/">chakras for a deeper discussion of each</a>.</p>
<p>A simple technique for clearing chakras is imagining the color associated with each along with a strong intent and affirmation.  To do this, try the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Close your eyes and relax your body and mind</li>
<li>State a strong intent (I want more money, I wanna share love, etc.)</li>
<li>Visualize the color associated with the chakra</li>
<li>Let the color grow and fill your entrie visual with it</li>
<li>While doing this, affirm your intent by repeating it to yourself</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chakras are concentrated energy centers that run up the energy pathways of our consciousness.  They transmit and receive energy, acting like valves on these energy pathways.   Our chakras open and close depending on our thoughts, actions and feelings.</p>
<p>Chakras are not physical organs.  They are a part of our consciousness.  Each of the seven chakras interact with one of the seven endocrine glands and the nervous system.  Because of this, chakras affect parts of the body that those organs control.  When there is blockage in one chakra, those parts of the body will  be affected, even made ill.</p>
<p>Each chakra has a different frequency of vibration, symbol, color, and sound that it is attuned to.  When you become involved in negative thoughts, emotions or events, you can feel that in your chakra associated with the stress and, consequently, in the part of the body the chakra is linked to.  When this stress is kept up over a period of time, physical manifestations can reflect them as well.</p>
<p>The Seven Major Chakras:</p>
<p>Root Chakra (Muladhara) - It  is located at the base of the spine. This is the chakra that grounds you, your base, keeps you up and standing. When open, you feel grounded, stable and secure.  Emotionally,  this chakra connects you to your immediate family.  It affects survival, safety, proper behavior, and your connection to the earth.  It&#8217;s associated color is red.  Physically, it affects blood, bone, and immune disorders.</p>
<p>Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana) - The sacral chakra is your sexual and creative center, corresponding to the womb and to that aspect of the spirit which is drawn to create: art, music, and beauty. It is located above the root, about two inches below your belly button. It is associated with the color orange. This chakra is affects our friendshipts, romantic relationships, power struggles, finances, passion and control.  Physically, it affects menstrual cycles, sexual potency, and urinary and bladder functions.</p>
<p>Navel Chakra (Manipura) - This is located in the solar plexus and affects your self-esteem, personal power, and self-knowledge.  Physically, it affects the stomach, pancreas, liver, and the upper portion of the small intestine and other digestive organs.  It is associated with the color yellow. It determines feelings of responsibility, trust, fear, honor and courage. When this chakra is blocked, you tend to be passive, timid and indecisive.</p>
<p>Heart Chakra (Anahata) - This is located in the center of your chest, to the right of the physical heart. It is associated with the color green. It is our emotional center, the source of love, happiness, sadness, anger, hatred, forgiveness, compassion,  and desire.  The heart chakra is where the physical and spiritual selves are integrated in one being.  When it is open, you are compassionate and loving.  When closed, you are cold and distant.  It affects the heart and circulatory system, lungs, breathing, chest area, breasts, shoulder and arms.</p>
<p>Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) - The throat chakra is the center of communication and self-expression.  It is associated with the color blue.  Physically, it affects the throat, neck, mouth, teeth, gums, and thyroid gland. Emotionally, it affects the voice, communication, addictions, and all manners of expression.  The throat connects the body and the head. It is an important and crucial  energy center. </p>
<p>Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) - Sometimes called the &#8220;brow&#8221; chakra, the third eye chakra is located on the forehead, directly over the pineal gland.  It is associated with the color indigo.   It relates to  truth, knowledge, insight, intuitive powers, wisdom, listening and seeing openly.  Physically, it affects the ears, nose, eyes, brain and nervous system.</p>
<p>Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) - The crown chakra is located on the top of the head and is associated with the color violet. This energy center  connects you to higher power and the divine, your Higher Self. When open, it provides for unconditional love to self, the earth, and to others.  Physically, it can affect skin and muscle systems as well as your physical energy and exhaustion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most out of body experiences (OBE&#8217;s) occur spontaneously, sometimes without you even realizing it immediately.  Based on many first-hand accounts, it generally occurs as a response to certain situations such as: dangerous life and death situations,  a near-death experience, taking psychedelic and hallucinatory drugs, or falling into a dream-like trance.</p>
<p>Based on the same accounts and several studies, the surest way for you to attain a similar experience will  be to put yourself in an extremely terrifying situation, one that can possibly lead to death (or near death, as you would probably like.)  OBE&#8217;s seem to occur at a high rate during such circumstances.</p>
<p>Alternatively, out of body experiences can be voluntarily induced by several means without putting your life in extreme danger.  Such ways can include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lucid Dreaming</li>
<li>Inducing a Sleep State While Being Mentally Alert</li>
<li>Visualization</li>
<li>Deep Meditation</li>
<li>Drugs, most notably PCP and Ayahuasca</li>
<li>Brain Entrainment</li>
<li>Magnetic and Electrical Stimulation of the Brain</li>
</ul>
<p>Of these, attaining OBE&#8217;s through deep meditation and visualizations seem to be the most popular.  When doing this, here&#8217;s a brief outline of steps you can follow for practice:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lie on your back</li>
<li>Get into a state of deep ralaxation, even catalepsy (To do this, use visualization, progressive muscle relaxation ro any other techniques you have previously mastered for achieving the state)</li>
<li>Imagine that you are floating off the bed</li>
<li>Keep the visual in your mind until your senses tell you the same - when you can no longer feel your back and limbs touching any surface</li>
<li>Slowly visualize yourself standing and moving away from your body</li>
<li>See and feel all the details of the room - colors, textures, shapes</li>
<li>After a while, return to the floating position from earlier and slowly return to your body</li>
</ul>
<p><b>NOTE: Only after you feel comfortable and proficient doing this should you ever turn around to look at your body</b></p>
<p>Additional Suggestions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Give yourself a strong motivation to leave your body</li>
<li>Cultivate a strong desire to have an OBE</li>
<li>Create a primal hunger  to serve as extra motivation during your sessions (like intentionally making yourself thristy or hungry)</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Medium is a show starring Patricia Arquette as Alison Dubois, a medium who can see spirits and helps the police solve baffling crimes using her gifts.</p>
<p>The show is both fun and engaging, choosing to cast  the medium as a complete person who struggles between her gifts, her job and keeping her family.  It is one of my favorite psychic-based TV series.</p>
<p>The series is based upon the  real-life medium <a href="http://www.allisondubois.com/"> Alison Dubois</a> and her first  book, Don&#8217;t Kiss Them Goodbye.  While many facts on the show were directly from Alison&#8217;s life, including her work with law enforcement agencies and juries, the show is only loosely based on her experiences and is not a detailed biography.</p>
<p>In the show, Dubois is a part-time consultant to the district attorney&#8217;s office who uses her abilities of talking to dead people as well as seeing the future in her dreams to solve violent and horrifying crimes that have remained unsolved for her for the Arizona police department and other law enforcement agencies.  She also keeps a home with her husband and three children.  </p>
<p>Each week, she gets called up for assignments from her main client, D.A. Devalos, to sit in on cases where they have no clear leads.  Using her abilities, she pieces the messages together and helps the law enforcers make correct decisions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Philippines has been dubbed in international media as the &#8220;international mecca for spiritual healing&#8221; and &#8220;the undisputed center of psychic surgery.&#8221;</p>
<p>This heightened in the 60s and 70s when videos of Phippine psychic surgeons performing their trade circulated among metaphysical circles and lead to many controversies within the medical and legal communities.  These healers cured cancer, gallstones and other ailments with no pain, no bleeding, no open wound of any kind. The operation normally involved the removal of diseased tissues from the body using bare hands, without the use of anaesthetics or antisepsis, leaving little or no indication on the skin that an operation had been performed.</p>
<p>The psychic surgery procedures originated in the Philippines around the 1940s with Eleuterio Terte. Later on, he and his top student Tony Agpaoa trained others in the same techniques.  The most famous of the Filipino psychic surgeons are  Alex Orbito and Jun Labo, who both became well-known in the U. S. through his association with several celebrity patients, like Shirley Maclaine and Andy Kaufman.  </p>
<p>In 1974, the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Senate Subcommittee on Health and Long Term Care held hearings on psychic surgery. In these hearings, the FTC heard the testimonies of 48 witnesses and reviewed 134 exhibits.</p>
<p>According to the testimony, psychic healers had defrauded their patients by palming small plastic bags which contained blood and tissue and used them in sleight-of-hand simulations of surgery. Working from the premise that faith healers were impersonating surgeons, thereby practicing medicine illegally, police began setting up sting operations to prosecute them.</p>
<p>While there may have been instances that suggested fraud by some healers, the decision ignored the many documented operations, many on clear video, that cannot be so easily explained and showed no indicative signs of fraud whatsoever.</p>
<p>A report on psychic surgery made by the Yukon Medical Association, notes that many individuals who had undergone psychic surgery showed marked subjective improvement. All of these cases had chronic, poorly defined, nonspecific disorders, such as headaches, abdominal pain or back pain.</p>
<p>Here is a good list of <a href="http://www.stuartxchange.org/FHDirectory.html" target="_blank">Filipino faith healing practitioners</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Intuition often defies rational thought and is based purely on gut feeling.  Because of this reason, most people like to dismiss it after checking it against the facts.  Many times though, your intuitions are telling you the exact right thing that you need at that exact moment in time.</p>
<p>It is different from opinions because while opinions are usually filtered from past knowledge, intuition needs no prior experience.  It also differs from instinct because it is not a behavioral trait but a deep inner knowing of an event or situation.</p>
<p>Psychic intuition can happen anytime at anyplace for whatever reason.  Knowing something &#8220;off the top of your head,&#8221; seeing something &#8220;in your mind&#8217;s eye,&#8221; &#8220;gut feelings&#8221; and many more similar common experiences are all examples of intuition at work.  Often, we will ignore them because they don&#8217;t make any sense and later, after the related event occurs, we understand what it actually meant.</p>
<p>It is important to trust your intuition if you want to hone your psychic abilities as intuitions are often our first contact with extrasensory events.</p>
<p>To start honing it, start listening to how you feel in small situations.  Even if your common sense tells you otherwise, trust your gut feeling about it.  The best way to make you rintuitions more vivid and more frequent is to start paying more attention to it and honoring it by following what it tells you.  Don&#8217;t dismiss those sudden bursts of unexplainable insights and they will get more vivid in time.</p>
<p>Another way to have clearer, more frequent psychic intuitions is to keep your consciousness  in the present as much as possible.  Be more aware of your body, your feelings, and your immedate environment.  Start noticing things and  paying full attention to the tasks at hand.</p>
<p>Lastly, meditation is a great way to harnessing your intuition.  Meditation helps you quiet the mind and when in this state, you can listen very clearly to different things your body is telling you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Blue Feather Exercise is a simple exercise you can do to practice the power of synchronicity and manifestation in your life.  </p>
<p>To practice the Blue Feather, relax yourself in a quiet area.  In your mind&#8217;s eye, imagine a blue feather.  See its dimensions, its color, feel it on your skin.   Make the image as vivid and real as it can be.</p>
<p>After this small exercise, make a clear and vocal intent to find a blue feather.  Keep it in mind that you want to find it.</p>
<p>Normally, you will find it immediately within the day.  If you don&#8217;t, refresh the visualization once in the morning and restate your intent.  Give it a few days to a week and you will find your blue feather.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Extra sensory perception (ESP) refers to an ability to receive sensory information without using any of the normal senses of sight, sound, smell, touch and taste.  It is often referred to as the sixth sense.  The term was first coined in the 1800s and was used to describe the abilities of people under a hypnotic trance state to externally perceive things without use of the five normal senses.</p>
<p>In its current form, ESP is  used to denote various paranormal abilities that affects a person&#8217;s perception of external events including clairvoyance, precognition, aura reading, and many others.</p>
<p>The active agent through which the mind is able to receive ESP impressions has been named psi, which is a name assigned to unexplained processes of energy and information transfer as is the case with many extra sensory phenomenon.</p>
