Praise for Psychic Development Level 2

“Nothing can measure the magnitude of my gratitude for Sandy Anastasi and her book Psychic Development Level 2: Energy and Auras. She has given me the working tools, knowledge, and understanding that I've searched for. And that has expanded my awareness to truly accept, honor, and trust my psychic skills, not only showing the "how-to" of "psychic reading," but also, and more importantly, how to control my abilities and deliver insights in the most responsible way. Sandy Anastasi teaches from the highest ethical caliber graced with compassion, humor, and the student's protection in mind! Her work is nothing less than enlightening.”

— David Leal from Miami, FL

“When I attended my first Psychic Development Level 1 class a few years ago (I have taken the entire series several times), I was rather nervous, not knowing what to expect. The classes were not what I thought they would be – they were so much more!

No matter what brings you into Sandy’s classes, you will find yourself hooked. She inspires you through her vast knowledge, enthusiasm, wonderful sense of humor, professionalism, and her commitment to making this planet a better place in which to live. From what I have experienced in knowing Sandy, I feel that she can definitely hold her head high in this lifetime. She has dedicated most of her adult life to teaching others how to recognize and enhance their psychic abilities (and yes, we ALL have them). Her motives have never been riches and fame. Sandy has achieved a certain amount of fame; however, her notoriety is not at the height that she could have reached, given her many talents and abilities. Instead, she trusted her guides, who led her to a small town in Florida, where she has spent years enlightening a multitude of eager students.

I want to personally thank Sandy for sharing her knowledge with me. She has been such a positive influence in my life, and I am proud to call her my friend. I am also proud of the fact that Sandy selected me for her teacher certification program. Now I am able to help others along their spiritual journeys, just as Sandy has helped me along mine.”

— Karen A.

“The realm of energetic possibilities had never even entered into my mind as I worked as a Registered Nurse in a hospital about a year ago. Then through the synchronistic way that my life has evolved, I found Sandy Anastasi and her series of Psychic Development books. I found her series after beginning to travel the path of working with Reiki, and the Healing Touch Program. Both are forms of energy work that are recognized by the American Holistic Nursing Association and used in growing numbers of hospitals around the country. I have received continuing education credits (CEU’s) to maintain my license through these programs.

Sandy‘s guide Energy Work and Auras helps to define, show, and guide me through the experiences I was having. The step-by-step manuals help to combine the science, training, and education I had received in formal academia as a nurse. It allowed me to begin to transform the classical model that dominates our society, into an intuitive hands-on healer. This book not only helped me to understand the passive ‘knowing and foresight’ I was receiving about my patients, but also helped me to actively, energetically, tune in to them – very often this meant being aware of an impending need or crisis. As I have transitioned out of the hospitals, working now as a Hospice Nurse, wisdom, knowledge, and insight gleaned in Psychic Development Level 2: Energy Work and Auras, has allowed me through divine guidance to assist, anticipate, and meet the needs of my patients and family members. Until hospice and the energetic component that is the heart of who I am, I never knew what true healing was.

I am so thankful to Sandy and her clear-cut, straight forward way of presenting the material. She has helped me tremendously in combining science and energy to a dimension of healing to my practice as a nurse, I never could have understood, or even believed.

Thank you Sandy for helping me to finally offer healing – that is what true nursing is all about!

With Love and Tremendous Gratitude.”

— Heidi, registered nurse, Reiki II, Healing Touch student, and mom.

“Sandy is a GREAT teacher and the Psychic Development course has added so much to my life! It is like previously viewing life in black and white and then going to color! I have learned how to find significance in the little things, which if you are unaware, slip right on by you without notice. You have to LEARN how to open yourself up to ‘seeing... hearing... and feeling.’ Sandy has taught me how to do this safely – that and so much more!!”

Foreword

The human mind is one of the most wonderful gifts that we possess. It enables us to do so much more than what we normally give it credit for. It also allows us to remember and to reflect on the things with which we have learned over the course of our life. It further allows us to ponder on those people that have particularly played an important role in shaping our beliefs and ideas.

Sandy Anastasi, for me, has been one such person.

The first time I met Sandy she was nothing like what I had pictured her. I had pictured a being encompassed in this mighty glowing white light with a radiating glow around her head. What I got, the first time I walked into the store she previously owned, was a woman with a kind and gentle smile, but certainly no white light or radiating glow. At least there was nothing unusual or special about her that I could see with my naked eyes.

I felt something though. I felt like she had much knowledge. I would realize later that not only was what I felt accurate and correct, but it was also my energy making contact with her energy, which allowed me to accurately perceive that.

It’s almost funny how we as human beings go through life oblivious to the things that are happening around us and to us. It’s funny how we never pay attention to what we are feeling nor where those feelings are coming from. If we were only a little more aware of these things, there’s a very good chance that life in general would improve for everyone in our world.

Psychic Development Level 2 is Sandy’s course on energy. This includes teaching people how to sense energy, see auras, feel auras, read auras, scan auras for health, and even how to do one’s very first psychic reading – something that, as you'll learn, requires no special “tools” like tarot cards or rune stones. Rather, it only requires you to be able to make and understand an energy connection.

I remember the first time I took Psychic Development Level 2 in person. I sat in a class of 30-something people, a little bit nervous and still very young to this field. In fact, I was probably feeling many of the very same things that you as a reader of this book are feeling. Yet, another part of me was so extremely excited to be able to pick up and acquire this knowledge. I didn't need someone to tell me that it was important. I could feel that it was important. I knew that this information was important not just for me, but for the world as a whole.

What I discovered in that class were two things: first, and perhaps most importantly, Sandy was meant to teach. She’s a wonderful teacher and mentor and very gifted at what she does and how she does it. I would later discover that she’s as equally gifted at giving channeled psychic readings and writing in a very clear, entertaining, and informative style. I'm very thankful to have had her in my life and to still know that even today I can go to her should there still be any questions that arise. That’s the mark of a true teacher and mentor.

Sandy is exceptionally skilled at guiding people, and in this book, just like all her books, her ability to instruct and guide comes through beautifully. She provides some of her life stories that are real and from the heart that will allow you to effectively learn from her past trials and errors. That’s something else a great teacher isn't afraid to do.

The second thing I discovered, even more so than in Psychic Development Level 1, was that the light bulb in my head finally lit up.

You see, like many of you reading this, I was and am a strong empath. Back in those days I didn't have the slightest idea how to control that ability. I just knew that I could feel what other people felt and, sometimes, make other people feel the same way I felt. This particular class helped me to understand the whys behind that. It did more than that though – the class also gave me the ability to see auras (something that prior to the class I wasn't sure if I believed in) and it also allowed me the opportunity to do a psychic reading, a reading in which I even surprised myself.

I've no doubt that similar light bulbs are going to go off for you. I've no doubt that by the time you finish reading this that you will have a deeper understanding of the wonderful world of energy in which we live. I've also no doubt that you'll continue to blossom and develop from having the chance to be connected to this phenomenal woman, guide, and teacher. Yes, this book is important, as all of her work has been important. The foundations set by the material within gives you the ability to continue along a path that can open doors and grant great insight into life as you know it.

You may say, “But it’s just a book!” I know, by now, that isn't quite true. By reading the book, as you'll discover, you are forming an energy connection on a much deeper level and if you apply yourself and put the exercises to work within your daily life, your life will not only be better for it, but you'll find that so much more in our world makes sense to you. You'll have completed the necessary second step in a system that’s purpose is to evolve the world and the people within it.

Author’s Foreword

I developed Psychic Development Level 2 back in 1979 in order to teach my students, who had already worked with and understood the information, techniques, and tools presented in Psychic Development Level 1, about the world of energy that we live in, and how to work with that energy psychically to see, feel, and read energy fields, or auras.

If you have studied Psychic Development Level 1 through this system, or a have obtained useable knowledge of the information contained in that course from another source, you are ready to proceed with Level 2. If not, I strongly advise that you return to Level 1 and work with the material there until you feel ready to move on to this course of study. Perceiving and working with psychic energy requires an altered and elevated level of consciousness that can only be attained if you have the proper working tools. Those tools are part of Level 1. When I tried to teach these things back in 1979 to students who had not learned to center, to meditate, to open their chakras, to raise their own consciousness and energy level, I found that most were incapable of either seeing or feeling the energy at all. On the other hand, following the completion of the materials in Psychic Development Level 1, I had an almost 100 percent success rate among my students

Without Psychic Development Level 1 or its equivalent as your foundation, you will most likely not be able to work up to your full potential in achieving results in Psychic Development Level 2.

Introduction

In Psychic Development Level 2 you will learn more about the human aura, the energy field that surrounds and permeates you. Much work has been done in this field, and there are many wonderful references available, some of which are referenced at the end of the chapters.

In Chapter 1 you will learn several techniques of seeing the aura. Everyone can do this, although many people require additional training and practice before they can begin to see the myriad colors in the aura. You will learn not only techniques for improving your ability to perceive the aura’s colors, but also how to interpret the colors you see, both for health and personality. Also, the more subtle levels of the aura, and the psychic energy that permeates our world, will be discussed.

In Chapter 2 you’ll take the first steps in learning to feel energy. We’ll learn how to feel our own energy field, as well as those of others, and in the process we’ll learn a lot more about the not-so-physical world we live in.

Finally, in Chapters 3 and 4, you will learn to make a strong energy connection to people in order to read them psychically, and even to do health analyses on them through feeling and reading their auras or energy fields.

This all sounds a lot like magic or even science fiction... but I assure you it is not.

We do live in a world of energy, and as humans evolve many of us are becoming more and more aware that our world is not the totally mundane and featureless place we have been led to believe it is. Our world is created of flows of energy. Not only are matter and energy interchangeable, but they also are constantly changing from one to the other and back again in the normal course of things... we usually just don’t take notice!

I have always been able to see and feel energy, though as a child I did not know what it was that I was doing, nor that everyone could not do this. At various times in my life, due usually to stressful situations that caused me to doubt and question myself, I lost that ability, and actually had to study and practice to regain it. Because of this, and my strong empathic gift, I am good at teaching this difficult subject, and my techniques work for just about everyone.

I have realized over time that my gifts of sensitivity and empathy made it relatively easy for me to see and feel the energy around me, as it will for some of you reading this book. However, there are many people (usually more intellectual types) who need to employ imagination and visualization skills and combine that with trust and an evaluation of the results of what they ‘see’ before they gradually begin to see and perceive the energies around them. With time and practice, anyone can learn these skills. They are our natural human heritage.

I cannot teach EVERYONE to see or feel an aura. But I can give EVERYONE the tools necessary to learn to do it themselves.

Many techniques of learning to see, feel, and read energy are presented in these pages, so that anyone who desires to may learn.

Chapter 1

The Aura: An Overview

What Is Your Aura?

The aura is the field of energy that surrounds and permeates all things, both alive and inanimate. However, living beings, including people, animals, and plants and insects, tend to have much stronger auras than inanimate objects such as chairs and books. Apparently, the life force that moves through them creates a stronger electromagnetic charge than inanimate objects usually have. It is interesting to note that it is usually very easy to see an aura around electrical wiring, which also generates a strong electromagnetic field, and around some inanimate objects that have acquired a lot of extra electromagnetic energy through constant use – like your televisions set, or the chair you sit in when you watch TV!

At present, there is not a lot of scientifically based knowledge about the aura, or human energy field. It can be measured by a difference in energy potential; as noted above, it is electromagnetic in nature and obeys most of the laws governing magnetic fields. It can be photographed using Kirlian photography (Kirlian photography was invented by an American, but developed in the Soviet Union during the 1960’s).

Do not confuse Kirlian photography with the computer generated aura images so popular today. The computer usually employs a glove or some form of electrode connection to your skin to check heat, pulse, moisture, and several other factors, converting them into an image that depicts your aura – sometimes fairly accurately! However, it is not really the aura you are seeing. It is a computer-generated image based upon the data collected. Kirlian photography, on the other hand, actually photographs the aura onto special photographic paper. It is only available as still photographs at present.

The Russians discovered, using Kirlian photography back in the 60’s, that emotional stresses showed up immediately in the aura and that even health problems were seen in the aura a long time before physical symptoms developed (Read Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain by Ostrander and Schroeder for more information on this interesting subject.)

Psychics have long been able to see these things (and more) merely by looking and using the ability of clairvoyance (clear-seeing). The problem is that until the advent of Kirlian photography, no one believed them! And to be honest, even today, most natural clairvoyants are barely tolerated in our society (unless they are practicing psychics, of course) because very limited research has been done in our country in this area. In fact, because most people don’t know about Kirlian photography, and aren’t naturally clairvoyant, they don’t even believe there IS an aura around the human body. But at least that much, scientists now admit to (although they still have no idea what it is, what it does, or how it interacts with and affects the physical body, or the world around you).

The biggest steps forward in understanding the human aura have probably come from the health field, particularly in the area of psychic healing. It is worthy to note that ‘Therapeutic Touch’ (a rebalancing and clearing of the aura) is now taught to nurses in most hospitals – I’ve even heard instructors tell their students they were energizing and balancing the aura! You see, the benefits of psychic healing on the aura have become so obvious that they can no longer be ignored, so it is in the health field that research on the aura is most likely to come about.

Clairvoyance

We tend to think of clairvoyants as the psychics who see angels, guides, and dead people and future occurrences that appear to them like motion pictures. Yet many people are already clairvoyant and have the ability to ‘see’ energy, or the results of energy, and do not even know it. How many times have you heard someone say that he (or she) can tell if a person is getting ready to be sick, or to die, because there is a grayness about him, or he can tell when someone is lying by that look he gets in his eyes... and so you have looked, and looked, and have seen nothing. Yet the person who said this certainly sees something, and gets correct information from it. Some people see others seemingly diminish in size if what they are saying is unimportant or needs to be ignored – this is actually another form of clairvoyance, common to people in whom the earth element is strong. How many times have YOU seen a flash of light, or a shadow, or flitter of motion, out of the corner of your eye and turned to look only to find nothing there? Again, that is a clairvoyant experience. Many, many people have these experiences, but most never realize they have natural clairvoyant abilities, and that learning to perceive an aura, for them, would be quite easy.

Yet EVERYONE can learn to see the aura, even if you haven’t had these experiences. And everyone can also learn to feel the aura. Both abilities are natural to humankind, but are only possible when certain chakras (psychic energy centers) are open and developed.

Feeling the aura requires that the Sacral Center be open and developed and that the Heart Center and Throat Center be open. The aura can be seen by anyone who can generate an alpha brain wave pattern (a natural outgrowth of meditation), but you cannot see color in the aura without the Third Eye Center and the Crown Center being open, and at least partially developed. The chakra system is explained at great length in Psychic Development Level 1; however, I’ve included a schematic here as a reminder of where the psychic energy centers are:

Figure 1: The Placement of the Seven Chakras in the Body

It seems that every clairvoyant sees and feels the aura a bit differently. So, before I go on with this discussion you need to realize that the information I am giving you here is my perception. You may find conflicting information in other books, and if you do, I advise you to go by your own experience and adhere to what works for YOU.

When I first began seeing auras during childhood, I saw them as an egg-shaped sphere surrounding all of the people around me. I rarely, if ever, saw color then, but those grayish balloons of ‘something’ around everyone made it very clear to me that each person existed in his own world, maintained his own reality, and saw the world from his own perspective. Needless to say, as a child I already understood the uniqueness of each person around me. I also understood why when some people disagreed on something there would not ever be a way they could resolve those differences because some of those balloons felt radically different than others. Their worldview was totally different. It was as if they simply could not form any real connection with each other. Whereas other people’s balloons sort of automatically came together. Often I saw strands of gray matter, much like gray taffy stretching between those balloons, and I knew the people in them had strong emotional connections to each other. Sometimes I saw black holes in the gray balloons, or places in the balloons where something was seeping out, and I knew those people had serious physical or emotional problems. Occasionally I’d see someone with a roiling gray cloud around them, and I’d know that person had a mind that never stopped chewing on emotional things. They reminded me of the cartoon character Pigpen from the Peanuts cartoon strip. I figured the cartoonist was just drawing what everyone saw!

All these things I saw and never mentioned to anyone because they were perfectly natural outgrowths of my normal seeing. I assumed everyone saw the same thing I did because they were usually drawing the same conclusions about the people that I was.

Probably many of you reading these words have had similar experiences, and seen similar things. Now you know what you were seeing!

As I grew older my energy sensitivity remained, but my clairvoyance diminished as I relied less and less on it. In fact, it wasn’t until many years later that I saw my first REAL aura, in full color.

I had been reading several books about seeing the aura, and had tried for a time unsuccessfully to see the aura around my hand, or my head while looking in a mirror... about the best I could muster was seeing a blue line around my hand. I later found out that what I saw is actually called the etheric aura. (I’ll tell you more about that later.) But at that time, I was about ready to give up. Remember, even as a child I had not seen color in auras, and that was what I was trying to do. Then I had what was, for me, a great revelation.

A friend stayed over with me one night, and brought her black cat. We had practiced meditating together earlier in the evening, and chatted a long while. I was completely relaxed by bedtime. Then, in the middle of the night, I got up to use the facilities and while I was in the bathroom her cat came scratching at the door to say ‘Hi.’ I let it in and was so amazed at the cat’s appearance that I stayed in the bathroom over an hour just gazing at it. The cat looked like a golden ball of light. It was like a miniature sun came walking into the bathroom with me. The aura around the cat was so brilliant I could barely see the black animal within it. It was bright enough to be almost painful to look at. I realized that what I was experiencing was true clairvoyance... that I was seeing the actual energy of the animal.

Apparently, my brain pattern was right, I had the right chakras open, and I was not blocking the experience in any way, so I saw the aura as it actually was. Why did it look like the sun? Simple – it’s because looking at the energy through our atmosphere makes the sun look yellow-gold, just as looking at the aura through our atmosphere makes it look, on its dorsal (upper) side, yellow-gold. The cat’s lower side was a deep, dark indigo blue. So, essentially, I was looking at a glowing golden ball of light with a dark blue underside, and only upon careful scrutiny could I see a cat inside it.

Since that time, I have seen the same colors around many animals and people, even around plants and insects, and have come to understand that this is the appearance of the outer aura in a healthy being. And thank goodness I usually see a watered down version of the real thing... I think I would find it difficult to live in a world where I saw people’s auras so brightly that the energy prevented me from seeing the person! I don’t think we are QUITE ready for that level of seeing. Essentially, we’d look like a bunch of golden orbs walking around then, not people as we know ourselves to be.

Of course there are many different colors that you see in auras in addition to gold and blue... and those colors are in the next layer down, and describe a lot about the person’s personality, and what his emotional state is at the moment. Most people will have many aura colors flashing around at that level, and in fact, while you are watching you will often see the colors change. Now, I know I said ‘layers’... but I don’t want to confuse you. It’s not so much that you are looking at a lower layer, as that you are looking deeper into the aura. And if you look deeper still, the various colors you are seeing will gradually settle out, and you will see that the person has one or two main colors that seem to constantly be there. Those would be the actual colors of his aura, and will tell you a great deal about his personality. The level with the flashing and changing colors reflects what a person is currently focusing on in his life.

Below is a schematic of the aura as I see it:

Seeing and Understanding the Aura

Figure 2: The Auras

I: The Etheric Aura

This portion of the aura lies immediately next to the skin, completely surrounding the body. On most people it is anywhere from Â¾” to 2” thick. It varies in color from a brilliant white, to a yellowish white, to a grayish white, to a blue or bluish white. It is likely that many of the halos artists have painted on Saints throughout history were actually their perception of this part of the aura around the head of these special people.

You do not have to be psychic at all to see this portion of the aura. In fact, under a powerful microscope it is visible as tiny flecks of matter, heat and infrared waves; when you use the exercises that follow you will have no trouble seeing it.

When you occasionally get that feeling of chills up your spine, or a sort of vibration along your skin that you might associate with confirmation of a psychic impression, it is in this portion of the aura that you are feeling it.

Exercises to Help You to See and Perceive the Etheric Aura

1. Calm and center yourself with three slow, deep belly-breaths. If you bring your hands very close together, palms facing each other but not quite touching, you will feel the pressure or tingling of your aura between your palms. Now, look into that area between your palms, letting your eyes soft-focus. (Soft-focus means that you gaze, not stare at the area, letting yourself blink as needed.) Do this for several minutes as you let yourself ground and center through deep rhythmic breathing, and you will soon see haziness between your palms and a shadow that surrounds them. This is your etheric aura.

2. Calm and center yourself with three slow, deep belly-breaths. In a semi-dark room (you do need some light to be able to see energy) use soft-focus again to look at the palms of your hands, but this time merely hold them out in front of you, palms up, in the darkness until you gradually see a film or sort of glove of hazy whitish color surrounding them.

3. Calm and center yourself with three slow, deep belly-breaths. In a room with a dim light source, position yourself in front of a mirror. Look into the mirror and gaze at a point roughly 6 inches above your head and 2 inches behind it. I find positioning my hand here and looking at it helps me to focus in the right place. Then look with your peripheral vision at the top of your head. Keep your eyes focused on your hand while you do this. This type of peripheral looking causes you to register the area around the top of your head and shoulders on the rod cells of your eyes that are the black and white receivers, not the cone cells, which see color in our physical world. It was a type of vision perfected by WWII fighter pilots who used it to spot targets in the dark. It relies on your peripheral vision. As you use this peripheral soft-focus you will see the sharp line of your etheric aura surrounding your head and shoulders. Of course, this is easier to do without clothing, but even with clothing on it becomes easy with practice. It is also initially easier to do this if you have dark hair. But eventually, with practice, you will be able to see the etheric aura around anyone or anything, in any kind of lighting.

4. Once you have learned to see this around your self, use the same technique to practice seeing it around your friends, family, pets, and even trees and plants. The more you practice, the better you will get.

II: The Astral Aura

This portion of the aura lies outside the etheric aura, but is within the confines of the auric shell. On most people it extends out from the body about 3 feet. However, if you are shy or feeling threatened, it will shrink down close to the body, within 18 inches, and when you are happy or excited it can expand to 4 or 5 feet.

When you occasionally encounter people who seem to take up a lot of room, even though they are not particularly big, they are usually people who habitually keep their auras extended out more than the average person does. You’ll often find that a loud and boisterous personality accompanies this.

Here’s a fun experiment to try that will allow you to see how virtually everyone is aware of aura energy, even unconsciously: The next time you are out to dinner with someone begin reaching over to his (or her) half of the table to pick things up. Not necessarily the other person’s things, just things on that side of the table. Before long you will see him start to get uncomfortable, and if you continue, he will eventually become angry. You see, you are reaching into the space to which he has extended his aura, you are infringing on his territory, reaching into his aura.

The astral aura can also deliberately be expanded to fill a room or a house to fill that space with the awareness of the person. People usually do this somewhat automatically when they relax in their own spaces. When your aura is expanded to fill your own room, or home, you will often have a sense of invasion if someone who doesn’t belong enters. It’s almost as if someone is pushing at you.

This also explains why when people first get married they often have problems getting along. These are actually spatial problems. Each partner seeks to expand his (or her) consciousness via his aura into the environment, in an effort to make it comfortable and familiar to himself; eventually, over time, either one partner learns to be comfortable in the environment the dominant other partner creates, or he merges his awareness and auras to create a new atmosphere comfortable to them both.

Yogis use this same principle when encouraging acolytes to live in the Ashram with them while they learn. The Yogis consciousness, pervading his aura, which extends throughout the Ashram, actually helps to raise the consciousness of the acolyte while he lives there. Not to mention that induction (an object with a strong singular vibration causes other objects of like nature to vibrate at the same level – like a tuning fork can cause the same note to ring in nearby instruments) also allows the acolyte to experience the clear consciousness of the Yogi. In this way, over time, the acolyte can learn the feeling of the exalted consciousness and reproduce it himself.

I have long used a similar technique in training students who take the Psychic Development classes in person. In essence, by using induction, and expanding my consciousness outward through my aura, I give my students training wheels that help them to successfully do the exercises along with me. That is why many students of psychic development learn better when taking in-person classes. Some readers may be able to achieve a similar effect by reading the exercises into a tape recorder and playing the exercises back so they can tune in to them more deeply.

It is said that the astral aura of the Buddha extended 300 miles. Can you imagine the amazing effect the ‘Buddha consciousness’ had on the people living in that area of the world? No wonder today Buddhism is one of the world’s great religions.

It is easy to see the egg-shape of this part of the aura surrounding people, and also easy to perceive the gray or smoky color or the look of heat waves contained in the egg-shape of the aura, by using an extension of the above technique used to see the etheric aura.

An Exercise to Train Yourself to See the Astral Aura

1. Calm and center yourself by taking three slow, deep belly-breaths. As in step 3 of the etheric aura exercise, in a semi-darkened room, look in a mirror and focus on a point roughly 6 inches above the top of your head and 2 inches behind your head. Hold your hand up there as a focal point to help you initially. Let your eyes soft-focus. Gaze at your head using your peripheral vision until you see the outline of the etheric aura around your head. Usually, the outline of your head gets sharper and sharper until the etheric aura suddenly becomes visible standing brightly out from it.

2. Once you can see the etheric aura clearly, very slowly raise your hand up until it is about 12 to 14 inches over your head. Keep your eyes focused on it. With your peripheral vision you will begin to see a hazy egg shape between your hand and the top of your head, above the etheric aura. This hazy or gray egg-shaped field is your astral aura. Do not try to look at it directly, or it will disappear from your sight.

3. With practice you will be able to do this quickly and easily, in any kind of lighting. You will be able to see this easily around all living things, and also around any inanimate object that has been highly charged by life-force energy.

4. It is also in the astral aura that the colors of the aura will be visible to a clairvoyant. One of the ways you can train yourself to begin to see color is by asking yourself what color or colors you see in the astral aura, once you have been able to see it.

5. Once you are able to see the hazy shape of the astral aura, if you did not immediately perceive a color or colors in the aura, you need to ask yourself what color(s) your unconscious mind is seeing. Relax you mind, and accept the first color that pops into your mind as the primary color of the aura. If several colors came to mind, ask yourself again where you are primarily seeing those colors. Above the head, under the arm, etc.

6. Now comes the hard part. You need to mentally project the color(s) out, until you can actually see them in the aura. Initially, when you are first doing this, you will have to work hard to visualize them out there in the aura. But eventually, with practice, you will automatically access the right color and project it out. Usually, colors seen this way will be pastels. But somewhere in the future, if you practice long and hard and consistently, you will one day see these colors just as intensely and brilliantly as I saw the aura around that cat!

When I was first studying to see colors in the aura, I studied many different techniques, and this is the one I personally found to be most successful. I was also lucky – I had a good friend (remember, my meditation partner that I mentioned earlier) who was a natural clairvoyant. So while I projected the colors out, she was really seeing them. It was very helpful to get feedback that what I was seeing was correct. Today, I do this in all of my in-person Psychic Development Level 2 classes – I have one student stand in front of the room, and have all of the others look at the colors in that student’s aura and then project them out. Then we all tell one another what we are seeing and where. It is amazing how often most of us are seeing the same thing. That supplies us with the positive feedback we need to know we are seeing reality. You might try that experiment with a group of your own friends.

Exercises and Tools to Open and Develop the Third Eye and Crown Center

There are also some exercises you can employ to help speed the opening and development of your Third Eye and Crown Center, both of which, if you remember, must be open to see clairvoyantly.

1. Physical stimulation of the psychic centers stimulates their opening and development. To stimulate your Third Eye and Crown Center to open, you may gently rub the area between the brows just above the root of the nose, and also the area in the center of the forehead. Do this frequently. Having someone else whom you feel relaxed and comfortable with rub this area is also helpful.

2. Do your 10-point relaxation exercise (you learned that in Psychic Development Level 1) and drop from there into a sitting yogic-style meditation with your attention on the breath. Use visualization to see each breath come in through your nose as golden or white light (feel the coolness of the air in your nose and nasal passages as you breath in as well). Breathe the light energy up into your head on the inhalation, making the inhale as deep as you can, filling and expanding the lungs, the rib cage, then dropping the diaphragm and pushing out the belly, but keeping your complete attention on the area just between and above your eyes the whole time, with your tongue on the soft palate of your mouth. Hold the breath there while concentrating on that area as long as you can comfortably do so. Then, as you breathe out, pull up the diaphragm, contract the lungs and rib cage, and pull up the belly, then draw it in and visualize that light accumulated in your forehead area spreading outward to all parts of your body, energizing you. Now on the next inhalation, breathe that light from all parts of your body back into your head. And on the final inhalation exhale the light from your forehead back out through your nose. Continue to do this until you have entered a deep meditative state, then let your breathing return to normal, but keep your attention focused on your forehead.

3. Use aromatherapy to help stimulate and open the Third Eye Center. Starchild’s Moon oil is wonderful for stimulating the Third Eye and aiding the development of clairvoyance, but also any oil that contains wormwood, cinnamon or mugwort is a good Third Eye stimulant. These should be used only externally by applying a drop to the forehead.

4. Use the Chakra Exercise to open and develop all of the chakras including the Third Eye and Crown Center, and the Chakra Exercise to open your cone of power, that you can program in whatever way serves you best. Several versions of the Chakra Exercise can be found in Psychic Development Level 1. Refer back to Figure 1 as necessary.

5. Use the Crown Center Mandala to help you to see clairvoyantly. To use this mandala, make copies of it and post it in strategic positions in your home where you will occasionally just relax and gaze at it. When you use it, use soft-focus, and let your eyes travel all over it, wherever they feel that they want to go. In using this mandala you will gradually see more and more things happening in it, and as you do, your Third Eye and Crown Center will gradually be opening. Here are some of the things you may expect:

- Motion. You will likely see spinning, like a pinwheel. The spinning may seem as if it is either coming toward you, or moving away from you.

- Concentric Circles. Again, these may be in motion, flowing toward you, or away from you.

- Geometric Forms. You may see black and white triangles, flowers, circles, pinwheels, even squares. All of these may be in motion.

- Pulsing. The entire mandala may be pulsing, or just the white circle in the center.

- Tunnel Effect. You may begin to feel that you are in a tunnel leading in or out, but moving.

- Faces. You may see a face or a form in the center looking out at you.

- Colors. You may begin to see various colors playing around the edges of the mandala, around the edges of each triangular form or even radiating out from the center.

- 3-Dimensional. The Mandala may begin to appear almost like a 3-D object.

- When you look away from the mandala at an object or person, you may instantly see his or her aura and its colors.

Do not be surprised if you feel all sorts of odd feelings in your head and around your eyes when you work with the mandala. Some of those feelings might include eye pressure or pressure on the forehead, tingling sensations on the forehead or top of the head, or even a feeling like a band around your forehead.

The Crown Center Mandala is on the following page.

Chakra Exercise to Open Your Cone of Power

1. Ground and center yourself. Take three deep diaphragmatic breaths and feel your whole body settling deeply into your chair. Feel any tension ground into the floor.

2. Visualize your worry box, and put into it all of your present concerns.

3. Use your 10-point relaxation technique to calm your body.

4. Focus on the center of your chest, and see a point of white light there. Let the white light grow and expand until it fills all parts of your body and joins with the white light in the aura around you.

5. Visualize a light source above you pouring brilliant white light energy into your aura.

6. Pull white light into your Root Center while you breathe in, and see it turn red as it enters and activates the Root Center. Watch the chakra begin to spin.

7. When the Root Center feels full, let the red light spin up your spine to the Sacral Center. Let it enter the Sacral Center at the same time you draw in white light from the aura around you with a breath. See the two light sources merge into the orange light of the Sacral Center.

8. When that center feels full let the orange light spin up your spine to the Solar Plexus Center. Let it enter that center. At the same time, draw in white light from your aura with your breath. See the two lights merge in the Solar Plexus Center as a brilliant yellow light.

9. Again, when that center feels full, let the yellow light from it spin upward into the Heart Center, and draw white light from your aura into your Heart Center at the same time. Watch the two light sources merge into a green light in your chest.

10. When the Heart Center feels full, let the green light from it spin up into your Throat Center, and at the same time breathe white light in from your aura. Watch the two merge into a blue light in your Throat Center.

11. When the Throat Center is full, let the blue light from it spin up into your Third Eye Center. Breathe in white light from your aura, and see the two lights merge into a deep indigo in the Third Eye Center.

12. When it feels full, let the indigo light spin upward into your Crown Center and breathe in white light from your aura. See the two merge into the violet light of the Crown Center.

13. Now, in your mind’s eye, reach down to your Root Center, and gather the red light energy there. Bring it up, spinning to the Sacral Center, and add the orange light from it. Bring both up, spinning to the Solar Plexus Center and add the yellow light from it. Bring all three up, and add the green light of the Heart Center into the mix. Spin all four up to your Throat Center and add in the blue light from it. Keep them spinning together as you pull them all up into your Third Eye Center, adding indigo, and finally up to your Crown Center, adding violet.

14. Now, let all of that spinning rainbow of color flow out the top of your head as you exhale, and breathe the rainbow of colors into a purple spinning ball floating over your head. As the rainbow of colors enters, the ball spins faster and faster, sharpening on one end to form a cone. This is your cone of power. It is your 8th Chakra that you have now brought to conscious awareness. If you put your hands up over your head, you will feel it there, like an almost-solid cushiony cone above your head. It will be visible to clairvoyants.

15. Now to activate it, you need to ‘program’ it. First, in your mind’s eye, take a tendril of green light from your Heart Center and direct it up into the Cone. Next, take a tendril of blue light from your throat and direct it upward into the Cone. And last, take a tendril of indigo light from your Third Eye and direct it up into the Cone. Each time, say to yourself, “cone of power, 8th Chakra, help me to develop powers of clairvoyance. Be an observer to let me know if I am ever in any danger, physically, mentally, emotionally, or psychically.”

16. When you are done, mentally cut the tendrils of energy entering the Cone from each of the lower centers, and then send all of the energy out the top of the Cone and back into the universe. The cone of power, or 8th Chakra, will remain active in your aura, and will grow in power over time the more you use it. Remember, when you recognize it working in your life, follow its guidance... that will reinforce it and it will grow. Ignore it, and it will gradually atrophy and its power will diminish.

Expand Your Aura

This is a simple and basic exercise that is truly good for the soul. It has the affect of putting you more in touch with the energy side of your being, than the physical. It is particularly good for helping to expand the energy flow through the Crown Chakra and Third Eye Chakra.

- Close your eyes, and take three complete diaphragmatic breaths.

- Ground and center yourself.

- Now, as you inhale, imagine yourself growing larger, taller, and wider.

- Exhale.

- On the next inhalation, let yourself grow to fill the room you are in. Feel your head pushing against the ceiling... your body against the walls.

- Exhale.

- On the next inhalation, push your head through the ceiling and your body through the walls. Feel yourself growing as tall as the trees outside... with your inner eye look down to see the roof of the building you were in... and keep growing larger.

- Exhale.

- And when you inhale again, feel your head pushing past the clouds high overhead.

- Exhale.

- Inhale again and grow so large, so tall, that you can look down from the upper atmosphere and actually see the curve of the earth, and the landmasses upon it.

- Exhale.

- Inhale again, and the earth has disappeared... you are expanding through space... you are surrounded by stars... you actually feel the molecules of your body spreading out so thin they feel like they reach to the furthest corners of the galaxy.

- Exhale.

- Breathe normally for a few minutes while in this expanded state. Allow yourself to feel the complete freedom of being unhindered by your body.

- Then, breathe in deeply and exhale completely. As you exhale, feel yourself begin to diminish; the molecules of your being begin to come back together.

- Inhale.

- Exhale, and feel yourself contracting back to earth.

- Inhale.

- Exhale, and as you do, feel your head move down into the earth’s atmosphere. You can again see its curvature, and many land masses.

- Inhale.

- As you exhale again, you shrink down to tree level.

- Inhale.

- Exhale again, and feel yourself re-entering the building.

- Inhale.

- Exhale and feel yourself shrinking to fit into the room again.

- Inhale.

- Exhale once more and feel yourself shrink back into your own body.

- Inhale.

- Exhale one final time, and imagine yourself a turtle, carefully pulling your head, arms, and legs back into your shell.

Didn’t that feel wonderful? There is something about that exercise that leaves you feeling so clear and so free; it is easy to want to do it every day! If you want to experiment, guide someone else through it, and while you do, watch his or her aura as it expands and contracts, and pay special attention to how YOU feel as his or her aura presses up against you, and then passes right through. These are very interesting sensations, and will help you to develop your energy sensitivity. (By the way, the reason I have you go back into the turtle shell at the end is that most people do find it hard to shrink their auras back to normal after having expanded in this way, and that over correction helps to compensate.)

III: The Auric Shell or ‘Wall’

The astral aura has a shell, or wall, surrounding it that in a healthy individual allows information exchange with the outer world on a selective basis. When you see the aura, you won’t actually see this shell... but if there is a hole in it you will see a black area near the outer edge.

IV: The Psychic Aura

This part of the aura is not currently visible even to most clairvoyants. In fact, technically it is not a part of YOUR aura at all. Rather, it is the ‘psychic world wide web’ or more accurately perhaps, the ‘psychic universal web.’ If you were to think of your own aura as your home computer, you can think of the auric shell as your computer’s firewall, and the psychic aura as the world wide web. It is an information highway. It is the part of you that connects you with every other living thing! This is where information finds its way from an outer source, along the web currents, to you. The reason I list it as a part of your aura is because you can reach out along it with the stuff of your astral aura to affect it, and you can set sensitive points in your area of it to alert you to dangers. Most people do this totally unconsciously – think of the mother who has antennae that keeps her informed as to what her young child is up to, as an example. You could imagine that to a clairvoyant (who has the ability to see these energy currents) it would appear that a tendril of etheric energy from the mother was stretching through the web of the psychic aura and attaching itself to the child. Of such stuff are family ties made!

We will learn a lot more about how we can use this ‘psychic highway’ in Chapter 4.

The Colors of the Aura and Their Meanings

Meanwhile, after all the talk previously in this chapter about the colors in the aura, you are probably wondering, “Well, now I’m learning to see auras, and to even see colors in the aura, but just what do those colors mean?”

There are many books on the market today that describe the colors of the aura, and their meanings. One of my favorites is Aura Energy by Joe Slate. But it is important to note before reading Mr. Slate’s book, or my overview below, that seeing aura colors is a highly individualized experience. We all see color differently.

The same orange that I see, for example, may look like yellow to you. It is because of this that there seem to be so many discrepancies between authors as to what the colors in the aura stand for in terms of personality type. If the orange I see tells ME that the person I’m looking at is intuitive and creative, the yellow you saw would be interpreted the same way, as creative, not as intellectual, which would be the normal way that I would interpret a yellow aura. So, it is important that when you are reading about aura colors that you understand this, and know that you will ultimately have to develop your own meanings for the colors you see. The ones given here, and the ones in the books you read, are only a place to start with your interpretation.

So, for example, when you see a pink aura and remember that infers the ability for unconditional love, talk to the person and get to know he (or she) a little. See if he really has that ability to determine if pink means unconditional love to your sight, or if there might be other meanings to what YOU are seeing as well.

Here are the meanings I use for the colors that I see in people’s astral auras:

- Gold is a very rare color to see in an aura. Usually, what you think is gold is actually a variation of orange. However, if you really do see a gold aura, or gold in an aura, you are looking at a flash of inspiration coming in from a higher source, usually of a mental nature, or at an individual who is inspired to greatness and selflessness in the moment. Gold is usually a temporary color, if you see it at all. Gold is often associated with the Crown Chakra.

- Silver is much like gold in that it is very rare to see in an aura, and usually isn’t silver at all, but rather a variation of blue. But when you very occasionally see actual silver flashing in an aura, or even a silver aura, it tells you the person is receiving a lot of higher guidance, that they are a very high-energy person, very pure hearted, and have higher protection around them. Silver is also often associated with the Crown and the Third Eye Chakras.

- White is not usually an aura color at all. White actually contains all of the other colors, and so usually when you see a white aura it just means you are not seeing the colors within it. But if the aura truly is white it stands for purity of spirit. The person will have a sort of innocence about them, but also a certain aloofness. They may be a daydreamer as well. White may be associated with all of the chakras.

- Purple is a power color. Remember, this is the color Royalty has worn throughout history, and that is no accident. I have very rarely seen a person with an entirely purple aura, yet it is fairly common to see some purple in an aura, particularly in the auras of people who find themselves in positions of power and authority. Purple is also a highly protective color. It indicates strength of will, and tells you the person knows exactly where he (or she) fits in the scheme of things, understands and accepts his responsibilities, is steadfast and loyal, but can be totally ruthless if the need arises. Decisions can be made fairly and honestly, without emotion. Usually, this person is open to higher guidance as well, when you see purple in his aura! He may not defer to another person, but he certainly will to a higher power, since he usually has a very strong spirituality. Purple equates to the 8th Chakra, your cone of power.

- Violet is a high-energy, yet soft color, that usually tells you the person has strong spiritual values, is a good teacher, and a loving person, and that he has strong connections to his Higher Self or Higher Mind. Again, it is rare to see an entirely violet aura; usually, there will be concentrations of the color in one area, perhaps over the head, for example, or the aura will be violet temporarily. Most people do not remain in this consciousness for long periods. Violet is associated with the Crown Chakra.

- Indigo is a very, very dark blue, almost black (kind of like the color of brand new blue jeans). Again, it is rare to find an entirely indigo aura... and if you do, double check to make sure it really isn’t a black aura at which you’re looking. The two are very, very different. Usually, indigo appears in a specific place in the aura, or colors the aura completely for a short time. When the aura is indigo it speaks of strong higher intuitive ability, clairvoyance, clairaudience, and an ability to channel information from people and guides on the ‘other side.’ I have only seen several people who had consistently indigo auras, and they were all religious leaders. Indigo is associated with the Third Eye Chakra.

- Blue is another power color that is quite common to see in an aura. Its basic qualities are strength of will and protection. However, blue comes in many different shades, and those variations affect its meaning dramatically. A pale powder blue is gentle and reserved, usually very quiet. A primary electric blue is energetic, dynamic, and assertive. A blue-green is a powerful healing color. All of the blues are associated with the Throat Chakra.

- Green is another color with many possible variations. It tells you a person has healing ability, is nature oriented and animal loving. But the blue-greens are powerful and leadership oriented, often involved with business; the dark greens are reserved and prefer their animals and woodlands to people; the pale greens are relaxed and heal through their quiet nature; the yellow-greens make wonderful counselors and have a very high energy level; and the primary greens are good at just about anything they do, including healing! This color is associated with the Heart Chakra.

- Pink is a color associated with a person capable of unconditional love. It is very common to see this color around pregnant women, but contrary to popular belief, men are also quite capable of having pink auras, or pink in their aura. Pink is associated with the Heart Center.

- Yellow is usually the first or surface color you see in an aura, and may not be the true color, unless you look deeper and find it is still there. When an aura is really yellow, you are looking at a person with a very fine, agile mind, probably a good communicator. These people are usually energetic and lively and are creative thinkers as well as very social people. Yellow is associated with the Solar Plexus Center.

- Orange is sometimes mistaken for gold, but has a very different meaning. People with orange auras are intuitive, instinctive, creative, spontaneous, and vital people. Orange is associated with the Sacral Center.

- Red in an aura has several meanings. First of all, a whole aura can be red, and usually signifies a high-energy person who is spontaneous, and very physical. But sometimes red in an aura can merely signify a concentration of energy. Often times you see concentrations of red light around a healer’s palms. Then again, if someone has a pain somewhere, for example in the knee, you are likely to see a concentration of red energy there. I have also seen red jagged streaks in the aura of someone who is angry. Red is associated with the Root Center.

- Brown in an aura also has several meanings. First of all, it is not necessarily bad. Many people who are earthy, steadfast, loyal, slow to anger, and who are good with the mundane things of life (gardening, fixing things, good with their hands, etc.) have brown auras. However, when there are brown or muddy patches in a different color aura, it can indicate ill health, emotionally or physically. Brown corresponds to the Root Chakra.

- Gray in an aura may just means that you are not yet seeing color. But if the aura is truly gray, it means the person is a non-judgmental, middle of the road type of person. Gray, I believe, corresponds to the Throat Chakra.

- Black in an aura is very bad. It may mean that the person has holes in his aura, or has a serious and chronic illness. It is not uncommon to see black patches in the auras of drug addicts or alcoholics. In those people, those black patches are holes. Very, very rarely you may see a person who has a black aura. Black is the negation of all light. (That speaks for itself.) A person with a black aura is evil. Stay away from them. If that black aura is shot through with red streaks, run. That person is evil and in a rage. Who knows what they will do? Black negates all the chakras!

*Where I have noted a chakra that a color corresponds to, it will tell you that a person has strength in that chakra if his or her aura is that color!

End of Chapter Activities

1. Record your dreams and your psychic experiences. Dreams, as we learned in Psychic Development Level 1, are your Higher Self’s primary means of communicating with you. You will get much life insight and precognitive information through recording and interpreting your dreams. Record your psychic experiences throughout the day as a means of recognizing your unconscious self and telling it that you appreciate it.

2. With a partner, do a telepathy exercise including remote-viewing him. For your exercise, set a day and time, first one of you sends, and then five minutes later the other does. Remember to record what you sent, received, and viewed, so you can give accurate feedback afterward. Complete instructions are in the first chapter of Psychic Development Level 1. When you remote view your partner, take the time to record the aura you see around him, and what you think it means. For your telepathy exercise, send your partner a person you know. Your partner will describe the aura he sees around that person. Then you will reverse and the partner will send a person and you will describe the aura of the person. Do not phone or email your partner until the exercise is completed, to check for accuracy! Have fun! If you are new to this, you may want to read over the instructions in Psychic Development Level 1.

3. Continue to meditate daily.

4. Practice doing your Chakra Exercise and raising your cone of power daily.

5. Pay special attention to times you recognize your cone of power at work in your life, and make special mention of this in your journal.

6. Practice seeing auras as often as you can. You will eventually find that every time you are relaxed you begin to automatically see them.

7. Study the meanings of the colors in the aura.

Feeling The Aura

Let’s begin this chapter with a review of some of the exercises at the end of the first chapter:

Recording and interpreting your dreams

I can’t emphasize how important this is. Dreams are your Higher Self’s primary mode of communication at this level of your psychic development. Working with your dreams helps open and develop both your Crown Center and your Third Eye Center. Many cultures (like the Australian Aborigines) believe the dream state to be as real, if not more so, than the physical world we live in. I know through personal experience that we all astral travel in our sleep, and that we all have the capability of resolving many issues in our dreams. You will learn in Psychic Development Level 3 how to lucid dream (remaining conscious in your dreams) and how to astral travel while in the dream state and awake. At the end of this chapter I’ve included a dream experiment that appeared many years ago in Omni Magazine – I call it the ‘Omni Dream Experiment’ – if you follow the directions given you will learn to lucid dream and eventually to astral travel. We will work more with this experiment in Psychic Development Level 3, but starting on it now will help you to open and develop that Crown and Third Eye Chakra I keep emphasizing, and make it easier to achieve success with the experiment in Psychic Development Level 3.

Meanwhile, in addition to working with the Omni Dream Experiment, you should be recording and interpreting your dreams. The suggested books on dreaming listed at the end of Chapter 1 will help with your interpretation. In Psychic Development Level 1 there is also a lot of information that will help you with your dream interpretation.

At this point you should be able to begin interpreting your dreams on multiple levels.

1. First, look at what your dream is telling you about your life right now. You are receiving insight and help in handling your daily affairs from your Higher Self in the dream state. You simply need to understand the symbols your Higher Self is using to communicate that help to you. Learning to understand the symbol language of your Higher Self now will be a great help later, if you decide to move into the study of Channeling and Mediumship, which are the subjects of our Advanced Psychic Development books and classes.

2. Second, you are getting information about things that are coming up in your life so that you can be prepared to deal with them. This is called precognition. The way to initially ascertain if a dream is precognitive is to always date your dreams, and when in the course of your normal life you experience that sensation of deja vu look back at your dream record book and see if you had a dream that foretold the event or place that produced that feeling. Precognitive dreams can foretell things that will happen tomorrow, or 10 years from now. It is only by recalling the dream, and locating it in your record book, that you will initially know that it was precognitive. And the time interval between the dream and the occurrence tells you how far in advance your precognition takes you. A good friend’s precognitive dreams, for example, are easy for him to notice, because they usually occur the next day. Mine on the other hand, can go 5 to 10 years or more into the future... if I didn’t keep a record, I’d have never known they were precognitive. Your precognitive dreams also have a distinctive feel. It is through experience that you can recognize that feel and know at the time that the dream is precognitive.

Let me share a dream of my own that occurred many years ago that was precognitive on several levels.

In the dream, I was sitting on a porch surrounded by my husband’s and my family and my teeth were falling out.

You’ll notice that the dream was short and specific. That is one way I knew that it was important, and that it was a strong message from my Higher Self. Your Higher Self does not waste energy. I woke up right after the dream, to record it.

I had a feeling of urgency (that I have come to recognize is the way that I feel a precognitive dream). Of course I knew all the relatives in the dream, but I did not recognize the porch, and there was nothing wrong with my teeth. I knew the dream was precognitive, but had no idea what it meant, or when it would occur... only that it would involve family. I was lost on the subject of teeth, so I looked it up in my dream dictionary and found that losing teeth is symbolic of saying the wrong thing to the wrong person. So I knew that I was in danger of saying something I shouldn’t to a family member on a porch that did not yet exist at some time in the future. Let me tell you, I was on the lookout for that porch.

But I didn’t see the porch for over 10 years. By then, most of the family, including myself and my husband, had moved to Florida... I immediately recognized the porch as belonging to his Aunt in her new home. But the dream was still a long way from occurring.

Some three years after that I had serious dental problems and had to have some teeth pulled. Isn’t it interesting how my Higher Self inserted a time signal into the dream, and used the same signal for both the issue and the timing of it? Because immediately after having my teeth pulled, the precognitive dream finally occurred. And because I had prior warning, I was able to avoid a very serious problem by knowing to keep my mouth shut.

What a wonder your Higher Self is!

At the same time that your Higher Self is giving you mundane insight (in the above dream, take care of your teeth) and precognitive information, it is also giving you spiritual guidance. In my dream above, the guidance was to know what things to let go of and to not involve myself in. So look for the spiritual message in your dreams, too. And your Higher Self also is taking you out on the astral plane to experience ‘reality’ either in the present or future, as in the above case. I know that I was really on that porch with the family, 13 years before the event occurred.

Over time as you work with your dreams, you will develop your own spiritual home on the dream plane as I think of it (that in actuality is the astral plane). Many of the spiritual lessons your Higher Self teaches you will be focused in that spiritual home. You will never find it in your physical world. It is an extension of you in the dreamtime. And over time, it will change, grow, and develop into something more, just as you will.

Telepathy exercises

If you have previously read the manual or have taken Psychic Development Level 1 in person or on tape, you have been doing these exercises with a partner for some time. Yet you will have found this exercise somewhat more difficult to do because you were sending a person instead of an object or a scene. Most of you doing this exercise would have chosen to send a person whom you are emotionally tied to, or who was in the same place as you were. Both of these conditions make it very hard to release the person you are trying to send. In which case, your partner may actually have picked up on a person you had associated with or who was on your mind earlier that day. So, before you decide that your exercise was a clear miss, see if you can’t identify the person your partner got, even though it may not have been whom you actually tried to send. And next time, send someone who is not standing next to you, and whom you are not emotionally connected to. Likewise, it is not a good idea to send a famous person... it is far easier for your partner to receive a person whom you are familiar with, at least to some extent.

Aura exercises

As you practiced seeing auras, you should have come to an understanding that you see them best when you are relaxed, centered, and in fact, right after you have meditated. This is because to see an aura you MUST be in an alpha brain-wave state. In fact, all of your psychic insight comes to you when you are in the alpha state. This is why incorporating meditation into your daily schedule is so important if you want to continue to expand your psychic abilities.

Sensing the Aura

Now, let’s get on with learning to feel the aura.

You actually took your first steps toward feeling an aura in Chapter 1, when you practiced expanding and contracting your own aura, and then feeling and seeing someone else expand and contract his or hers. The aura is an energy system, and feeling it is about learning to sense and feel energy.

The following exercises will help you to learn to feel your own aura. It is important to be able to feel your own aura energy, and know what it feels like, before you begin to feel other’s auras and learn to read them. If you don’t recognize your own energy completely, it is very hard to be able to do a reading and be able to tell the difference between what is you and what is your client.

Sensing the Aura Exercise #1

1. Sit in a relaxed posture with your hands palms upward on your thighs, eyes closed.

2. Take three very deep diaphragmatic breaths to ground and center yourself.

3. As you breathe, focus on a point of light at the top of your head, first sending the breath to all parts of your body, then drawing it up into your head to help elevate your consciousness to achieve an alpha brain wave state.

4. Visualize that light moving down your arms and into your hands.

5. Now, extend your hands out in front of you, palms upward.

6. Pay close attention to the skin on the palms of your hands, until you can begin to feel a slight subtle vibration along the surface of each hand. Continue to be aware of the sensation of energy moving along the surface of your skin until you actually feel your hands pulsing with energy.

7. When your hands are tingling as if they are itching, turn them inward to face one another, palm to palm, but keep them about a foot apart.

8. Now, gradually bring them together, closer and closer. As you do so, feel the pressure created between them by the movement.

9. Bring them close together, but not quite touching.

10. Now, begin to pull them apart slowly. You may feel a sensation almost like taffy being pulled apart, as you move them apart.

11. When you get to about shoulder width apart, slowly bring them back together again. You will find the resistance increases each time you do this, and when you pull them apart again, the feeling of taffy also increases.

12. Now, for the second part of this exercise, pretend that you are holding a rubber ball between your hands. Roll the ball around your palms as you feel the changes in the energy in your hands. This action, combined with the attention of your concentration on your hands (attention IS energy folks) dramatically increases the amount of energy moving out of your palms.

13. Next, turn your hands so that the back of your right hand is toward the palm of your left hand. Continue the circling motion as it helps you feel the energy more easily. Do you feel an increase or decrease in the energy? Did it just feel warmer or cooler? Just make a mental note of this for now. I’ll explain what just happened later.

14. Now reverse the hands. Turn your hands so that the back of your left hand is facing the palm of your right hand. Again, continue the circling motion. Again, make a mental note about an increase or decrease in the energy, an increase or decrease in heat.

15. Lastly, face your palms toward one another again. Then turn your hands so that the palm of your right hand is over the fingers of your left hands, and the fingers of your right hand are over the palm of the left hand. Mentally pay attention to any change you feel in the flow of energy between your two hands. Are your palms trying to push apart from each other, or are they more attracted while in this position?

16. Now, return your palms back to the normal palm to palm position. Open your eyes, and shake your hands out.

Here’s some insight into what you just experienced:

Firstly, people feel energy in different ways. The reason this first exercise is so good for beginners to do is that it helps you to find out how YOU feel energy. For some of you reading this, you recognized an energy buildup on your palms immediately in step 5 because your palms began to get hot. Many people feel energy as heat, which is certainly the easiest and most obvious way to feel it. But others felt a tingling sensation, as described in the exercise, and still others get a sensation like a warm, hairy glove encircling their hand. Some just feel a thickening of the air above their palms, which is actually the hardest to feel. But everyone DOES feel energy this way, just not all in the same way.

When you began to draw your palms in and out, like an accordion, the attention that you were placing on the exercise was generating more energy into your palms, so the more you did it, the more intensely you felt the push-pull of that energy. This is most definitely NOT your imagination. You really are feeling an aura here – your own aura!

Rolling the imaginary ball around your palms in step 12 allows you to feel the energy more completely because you are feeling the changes in potential between your palms. If you continue to do this for a while, and concentrate on it, you can produce an energy ball – that is, a ball created of the etheric substance of your own energy body that you can send out separate from yourself. Such energy balls can also be programmed to carry a message. We’ll talk more about that a bit later.

In steps 13 and 14, where you turned your hands so that the back of one hand was facing the palm of the other, you would have experienced a dramatic change in feeling. Here you are exploring the polarity of your body, for your body does have poles:

- The front of your body is generative. It projects energy. Therefore, the palms are generative and both project energy.

- The back of your body is receptive. It receives energy. Therefore, the backs of your hands are receptive. The back of the neck is perhaps the most receptive place on the human body.

- The left side of your body is receptive. Therefore, your left hand, front and back, will be more receptive than your right.

- The right side of your body is generative. Therefore, your right hand, front and back, will be better at sending energy than your left.

Usually people find when they place their hands with one palm over the back of the other hand, that the back of the hand feels warm, or warm and tingly, or like a cushion of warm air is being pressed against it. Conversely, often the palm of the hand generating the energy begins to feel cooler. If you try this again, reversing the hands, first right over left, then left over right, you will feel that both ways the back of the hand feels warm, while the palm feels cooler, but by comparison, the heat the right hand generates will be greater than the heat the left hand does. Keep experimenting with this one until you understand it through the generated sensation.

In step 15 you are totally reversing the poles by placing the fingers of one hand over the heel of the other. For some people this feels more comfortable, for others it feels terribly uncomfortable. That is because everyone’s body’s polarity is different. In essence, it is like reversing the poles on two magnets. When they are placed negative end to positive end they attract, whereas when a negative is aligned with a negative, or a positive to a positive, they repel.

Sensing the Aura Exercise #2

This is a quick way to feel your aura.

1. Close your eyes and take three deep diaphragmatic breaths to ground and center.

2. As you breathe focus on the top of your head, bringing white light in to all parts of your body, then breathing it up into your head.

3. Visualize that light moving down your arms and into your hands.

4. Briskly rub your palms together to create lots of friction.

5. Hold your hands out, palms facing one another, about 3 inches apart.

6. Roll them around one another as if you are rolling a small ball between them until you begin to feel the energy strongly.

7. Now continue with the experiments in polarity from Exercise #1.

Some of you reading this will have better results using Exercise #1, some using Exercise #2. Experiment with both until you feel comfortable with them both, and then decide which works better for you. Any time you work with feeling an aura you will be re-connecting with your own aura first. Use whichever technique gets you the quickest and most definitive results!

Learning to Feel and Identify Other Energies

Now that you have learned how to feel your own aura, and that every other living thing also has an aura, you are probably eager to see what the auras of other people, animals, and even plants feel like!

In the next few pages, you are going to learn how to protect yourself from ‘backflow’ when you feel someone else’s aura, and you are going to learn a simple exercise to tune into and feel the auras of other people and things in the world around you. This is not at all hard to do; as a matter of fact, it is a gift that all people share, though most do not use it. It is essentially an extension of the gift of empathy, and is called clairsentience.

But before you learn this, let me take a moment to discuss what it is you are actually doing when you feel another person’s aura.

Your aura is the most unique thing about you. It is your ‘energy stamp.’ There is only one energy system in the entire universe that has your vibration – you. So people, including you, are identifiable through their energy stamps – their auras. And of course, that means that everyone’s aura has an entirely different feel. It also means that you will not be able to feel someone else’s aura unless you make some adjustment to your own vibration. Think of it as shaking hands. You can’t shake hands with someone unless you reach out. And when trying to feel someone else’s aura you have to do the same thing – reach out. Only the reaching out in this case is energetically, not physically. This reaching out entails you learning to sense and then match the energies of the people whose auras you want to feel and read.

Figure 4 below is a simple line drawing that shows this process in theory. Suppose the top sine wave represents your vibration, and the bottom, faster, spiky wave represents someone whose aura you are going to try to feel. Under normal circumstances you would not be able to feel this person’s aura because it is too different from your own. You might react to it, avoiding it or making space for it, but you would not be able to feel what the actual vibration felt like.

However, assuming that this person is reaching out to you as you reach out to them, the center line represents a sort of common ground vibration that the two of you can meet on that will allow you to create a bridge to feel and read one another’s auras. You must both adjust your vibration, which requires a sort of relaxing into the vibration of the other person, before this middle ground vibration can be created.

Whenever two people marry, or when a baby is born, this same adjusting of auric vibration occurs. Initially when the two or more vibrations encounter each other, they either avoid each other or try to dominate each other for space. It is only by creating a new vibration in which all the vibrations in the household can feel comfortable that two or more people can successfully live together. This is also why family members always have strong emotional and telepathic ties, and why if you work these exercises with a family member you will generally find them easier to do than when you work with a total stranger. You are already halfway there. You’ve already done half the work.

Figure 4: How to ‘Reach Out’ to Merge Your Aura with a Partner

Now, suppose you are trying to feel the aura of someone that you don’t know well, perhaps a person who expects you, as a budding psychic, to do all of the work.

This is the position professional psychics find themselves in. Their partners, or clients, expect them to do all the work. The average person wouldn’t dream of reaching out in that emotional way to a total stranger. It makes them feel far too exposed, and terribly uncomfortable. This is also why a lot of people do not like to get psychic readings. On an almost unconscious level they feel invaded by the psychic as the psychic reaches out to make that connection to them. In most cases, the client does not reach out at all to help the psychic. There is no common ground created between them to act as an empathic or telepathic place to link. So, as in Figure 5, below, the psychic must reach all the way into the client’s vibration, and actually blend with it to create the link that will allow them to feel and read the aura.

Obviously people who are naturally strong empaths will have an easier time of this, but anyone can learn to do it. All of us humans are naturally empathic to begin with! We ALL feel vibration, though most of us have not always been conscious of this.

Figure 5: How to ‘Reach Out’ and Connect Your Aura to Another Person or Object

Now, it should be obvious to you that it will be easier to reach out all the way to link with someone whose vibration is similar to yours; likewise, it is obvious that linking with someone whose vibration is radically different can not only be difficult, but also takes a lot of your energy to do it!

Initially it may be hard for you to form a link to someone who is very different from your own natural vibration, but eventually, with practice, you will have no trouble making an auric connection to ANYONE. So practice, practice, practice!

Now if the link between you and your partner is broken and you have to re-establish it, you have to employ all of YOUR energy all over again to do it! So be smart, and when you do a psychic reading in which you connect with someone’s aura (that’s most of them, folks) make sure the phones are turned off, the kids and pets are off in another room, and there are no other potential distractions that are going to continually break that link.

I have done readings for people who were very hard to connect to because there was such a huge difference in vibration between us, that took less energy from me than reading for someone that was very easy to tune into, merely because the constant interruptions in the easy one meant I had to re-open the link between us four or five times. So don’t let those interruptions occur. If you do, you may spend the next day sleeping!

Psychic Protection

When feeling the auras of other people we also need to protect ourselves against a backwash of their energy coming back down the link we created, into us. This isn’t to say that your client or partner is bad; it’s just that ANYONE’S energy in you is not good because it is not you!

To protect against this backwash is easy. Just put on imaginary bracelets or use gloves if you are very sensitive. I actually put my hand around my wrist for a moment to make sure I feel the bracelet as well as visualize it. This glove or bracelet works one way. It prevents your partner’s energy from passing up your arm and into your body. However, it allows you to feel your partner’s energy without hindrance.

DO NOT FORGET YOUR BRACELETS OR GLOVES when you do an auric reading where you are coming in close contact with a person. I remember doing a reading for a good friend of mine a long time ago without bothering to protect... and I got to feel like her for three days afterward. This wasn’t fun because she had a very heavy, sluggish body (which I do not) and had constant sugar cravings. I think I gained five pounds in those three days! I finally took a salt bath at another friend’s suggestion to ground out the energy of the first friend. Let me tell you, I’ll never do that again!

Sensing the Aura Exercise #3

1. Sit knee-to-knee facing a partner. If you have no human partner, you may use your dog or cat. Just sit next to it.

2. Tell your partner to sit with his hands palms up in his lap, and to just relax.

3. Close your eyes, and take three deep diaphragmatic breaths to ground and center.

4. Now, use Exercise #1 or #2 in this chapter to find your own aura.

5. Rotate your hands together like you are rolling a ball of dough between them to intensify the feeling in your palms. Do not touch your hands together. Note how your own aura feels.

6. Now, mentally put your bracelets on for protection. (Use gloves if you are very sensitive.) To do this, use visualization, and also physically touch yourself to reinforce the feeling of a bracelet or glove. If your partner is also practicing to learn this technique, have them put bracelets on, too. If he is not, he will not be opening so it is not necessary.

7. Now, when you feel ready and have a good contact with your own aura, open your eyes and hold your hands out over your partner’s palms and continue to ‘roll that ball of dough’ over your partner’s hands, until you begin to feel his aura. Try to perceive what his aura feels like, and tell him what you feel as you do. Is his aura wet, dry, hot, cold, sticky, smooth, rough, airy, light, cushiony, prickly, or something else? If you are working with your pet, hold your hands over the pet’s back or head, without touching it, and do the same thing.

8. Finally, withdraw your hands, breaking the link. Give your hands a good shake to get rid of residual energy lingering there. Put them palm down on the floor and visualize white light pushing down through your head and pushing energy left by your partner down through your hands and into the ground. If after doing all this, your hands still feel tingly or like something is stuck to them, go and wash them.

9. Now, if your partner is also practicing this exercise, reverse rolls and repeat the whole process.

At this time, you probably have lots of questions about what you just felt. Isn’t it amazing how different your partner’s energy felt from your own? When I do this exercise in my classes, I have the students go around the room feeling one another’s auras, so that each attendee gets a chance to feel the energy of at least five or six other people. And it is always amazing that no two auras feel the same.

In general, there are four main types of auras and they belong to the four elements: fire, air, earth and water. However, people are composed of all four of these alchemical elements, in various combinations, so the potential variations are infinite. But depending on how an aura feels, you can get a general idea of which elements people have most strongly in them! Note also, that the element that YOU share in common with them you probably won’t feel. It’s typical for you to feel most strongly the ones where you are different.

Basically the elements can be identified in the following way:

- Fire feels tingly, rumbling, rough, and has a strong vibration. Fire people are characterized by a very ardent and physical nature. Although all of us contain some fire in our nature, the astrological signs associated with the element of fire are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius.

- Earth feels cool, steady, and solid. Earth people are very stable, and are good at dealing with the things here in our material world. Although all of us contain some earth in our nature, the astrological signs associated with the element of earth are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn.

- Air is characterized by a lack of temperature at all, and it may be breezy or cushiony in feeling. Air people are always very mental. Their minds never stop. Although all of us contain some air in our nature, the astrological signs associated with the element of air are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.

- Water usually feels hot, and is extremely fluid. Water people are usually extremely emotional. Although all of us contain some water in our nature, the astrological signs associated with the element of water are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.

Of all of these elements, the one that is hardest to block is the water element. You may want to add an extra layer of protection when reading or feeling the aura of a water person.

On ‘Aura Etiquette’

Now let’s address the subject of aura etiquette. It should be obvious, first of all, that you should not make connection to people to feel or read them through their auras unless they have asked you to, or have at least agreed to your experimentation. To do this without their permission is an invasion of privacy.

Next, let’s discuss the fact that you do not really have to put your palms over the other person’s to feel and read his (or her) aura. Once you get really good at this, you can literally extend a piece of your own aura from anywhere around your body to reach across a room to merge with another person’s aura and feel it and read it. Essentially, that means that you can, with practice, read anyone who is in your line of sight using this technique. But remember, unless you have the person’s permission, this is a GROSS INVASION OF PRIVACY!

Let me share a rather disturbing bit of my own past with you, which I am not very proud of. This experience occurred back in the days when I was a safety engineer. I had become fairly good friends with the safety director of an account I was servicing, and felt comfortable enough with her to let her know that I was a psychic. We would go out to lunch together when I visited her workplace, and as we ate, she’d point at various people in the restaurant asking me what I could tell her about them. Each time she’d say, not that I know them, now... and of course in my naivetÃ© I believed her, in my arrogance I sought to impress her. It was much later that through mutual acquaintances I came to learn that she was gaining information from me that she was using to manipulate those people as she worked her way up the corporate ladder. I was devastated, learned a hard lesson, and was out one not-so-good friend.

Energy, Vibration, and Magic

Magic, in the sense I am about to discuss it, is altering the energy of something, so that it feels like something else, either temporarily or permanently.

Now, you have learned to feel your own aura, or energy, as well as that of others. You have learned to alter your own vibration to match someone else’s in order to feel or read his or her aura. This is the basis of vibrational magic. Once you can match your vibration to something, it is very easy to attach to it, and draw it with you into another vibration or form.

The most common use for this today is in the charging of stones and crystals for various purposes. You will now find it simple to do this.

Choose a clear quartz crystal for starters. Soak it for a while in a bowl of sea salt and water first, to clear it. Now – just hold the stone you want to charge in your right hand, and follow the steps to feel your own aura, feel its aura, then blend into it by mentally describing what you feel. At this point, you have made a complete connection. Now, to alter the vibration of the stone, or charge it, tighten your hand around it to symbolize to your unconscious mind that you are dragging it with you, and in your mind visualize yourself being and feel yourself feeling the way you want this stone to make you feel when you carry it. For example, if you feel particularly relaxed lying on a warm beach and you want the stone to generate a feeling of relaxation, visualize yourself lying on the beach feeling the warm rays and the relaxation. Do this for a few moments, while you are still holding and focusing your attention on the stone, and then put it down. You have charged it! Now, let your attention (and your own vibration) go back to its normal state. Whenever you hold this stone in the future, it will have the tendency to generate a feeling of calm similar to what you just programmed into it!

This same technique can be used to link into another person (with his or her permission) to help him to directly experience something you want to teach him. Just be sure to completely let go of his vibration by really focusing on your own, after you have dragged his energy to experience the thing you want him to comprehend. Without you holding onto him to keep him there, he will drift back to his own natural state, but he will have had a direct experience of how it felt that makes it easier for him to experience it on his own.

I use this technique often with in-person students. For example, when teaching students what an alpha state feels like in Psychic Development Level 1, I teach them to meditate and to do the physical exercises that are required to bring about this altered state on their own, but at the same time I use both induction and a linking of auras, dragging their vibration temporarily via induction to the new vibration where they can readily generate an alpha brainwave. In this way we can ensure that they have had a direct experience of how the alpha wave feels. It makes it a great deal easier for them to do this on their own when they are practicing their meditative techniques at home later.

I have found that many good teachers have already stumbled on this technique unknowingly. They are practicing both magic and a very rare psychic ability, and don’t even know it!

This is also the basis of empathic healing, but at this level of your development I would strongly advise against it. It uses the same technique as the examples I gave above, but to be successful requires that you go much deeper and blend your vibration much more completely, creating a danger of losing yourself to the illness the person you are trying to heal is carrying. Those of you who want to see dramatically what I am referring to here should rent or buy an old movie called Resurrection. In it, the main character actually merges herself with the person she is healing and takes on his illnesses, then gradually heals herself afterward, by knowing her own vibration so well that she can always return to it. Most of you are a long way from knowing yourself so well you can’t get lost in another person’s vibration if you go that deeply. If you aspire to do this type of healing, you have years of study ahead of you. And even then I would not really recommend it, since it is almost impossible for anyone to reach and maintain the level of vibrational clarity necessary to do it without taking on at least a part of the illness he or she is trying to heal.

Here is another line drawing that shows what I’ve been talking about:

Figure 6: Charging an Object – What’s Happening Vibrationally

If you consider that your vibration is the top line, and the object you are charging is the bottom line, you merge with the object, as discussed earlier in the chapter, by feeling its aura, mentally hook it, and then draw it up to the middle line, which is the new vibration you are visualizing for it. There, you MUST separate your vibration from its vibration by changing your metal focus and dropping it. Try it. It’s easy! One warning though – if you don’t completely separate your vibration, then you can bring the other person’s energy into yourself. So this is a good technique to practice on stones and crystals, or helping other healthy people to feel an altered state such as a meditative state... but until you are at a VERY expert level don’t try this on someone who is ill, or you may just end up sick yourself.

Energy Balls and Thoughtforms

The last thing I am going to discuss in this chapter is how to create and send a thoughtform.

Earlier in the chapter you already learned the method I use to create an energy ball when you learned the techniques for sensing your aura. Steps 1 through 16 of Exercise #1, and 1 through 7 of Exercise #2 give you the basics of this.

Once you get to the point where you are rolling the ball around in your hands, you have created an energy ball. As you bring more and more white light down through your arms and into your palms, powering it with your breath, the energy ball gets larger. Practice making energy balls and building them until you are proficient at it. You might have some fun playing with them, too. It seems that people and animals are somewhat sensitive to energy, so if you throw an energy ball at people when they are not looking, they will usually turn around to see what hit them – harmless fun.

Now, when you are comfortable with making energy balls, you are ready to create a thoughtform from an energy ball. Thoughtforms are a valuable aid to your sending, and also to your personal programming.

Essentially what you will be doing is directing programmed thought energy into a thoughtform in order to accomplish something. For example, if I use a thoughtform to send my telepathy partner a message, I could mentally put the person whose aura I want him to analyze into the thoughtform, and then send it to him. The advantage of using a thoughtform over other forms of sending is that the thoughtform will continue to hang around until he gets the message.

Thoughtforms also are excellent tools for self-hypnosis programming. If you want to change or alter something in your character, merely program a thoughtform, and put it into your own aura, so that it will continually remind you to conduct yourself according to the new behavior. I suggest putting a time limit on these types of thoughtforms, just in case you change your mind about wanting to do that new behavior at some point in the future.

Here is an exercise to create a thoughtform to program yourself a good day tomorrow:

1. Close your eyes and take three deep diaphragmatic breaths to ground and center.

2. Rub your hands again and feel your own aura as you did in Exercise #1.

3. Bring white light in through the crown of your head and down your arms and into your hands as you inhale. Then exhale out into your hands, seeing and feeling white light move out of your palms to create an energy ball between your palms that you roll around, and continue to build until it is quite large. Heat your palms with thought.

4. Use your breath to control the energy going out of your hands and into the ball.

5. Watch the ball get bigger and bigger.

6. Now, mentally focus your energy into the dead center of the ball. You need to keep the energy you direct with your mind going into the center of the ball so that it does not spin. A spinning ball becomes a permanent thoughtform, which is generally not a good idea.

7. First, take a ray of green light from your Heart Center and direct it into the energy ball. Project, ‘You will have a wonderful day tomorrow.’

8. Next, take a ray of blue light from your Throat Center and project, ‘You will have a calm day tomorrow.’

9. Then take a ray of deep indigo from your Third Eye Center and project, ’You will have a great day tomorrow.’

10. Now, stop the light first from the chest (green), then the throat (blue) and finally the Third Eye (indigo).

11. Breathe out as you launch the ball into the universe!

*Now, be sure to pay attention to how your first thoughtform affects your day tomorrow!

End of Chapter Activities

1. Continue to record your dreams and practice your dream interpretation.

2. Continue to record your do-goods – your psychic experiences. Recording positive feedback helps your abilities to grow through positive reinforcement.

3. Do another telepathy exercise with a friend, again sending and receiving a person whose aura you want read. This time do your sending using a thoughtform. Don’t forget to use remote viewing to view each other’s location and appearance at the time of the sending.

4. Continue to meditate daily and do your Chakra Exercise daily.

5. Practice feeling the auras of as many people as you can. The more different people you can do this with, the better at it you will become.

6. Practice breaking up a cloud group. If this is easy, work on regrouping the clouds into a new picture. This is a good way to practice telekinesis and it may also be developed into some weather control.

Chapter 3

Reading the Aura

In Chapter 2 you learned multiple techniques for tuning-in and feeling the aura. In Chapter 3, you will learn to actually use the link or connection you have learned to make to a person’s aura to do a psychic reading on him or her.

This is one of the most valuable lessons in psychic reading that you will ever learn, since no matter what other tool(s) you use, you will usually be employing this one first. Whenever you are physically with a person you are reading it will become automatic to tune-in to his aura, thereby making a link to him on a very subtle level. Even when you are not fully conscious you are doing it, your energy link to him through his aura will be supplying you with mountains of information about him, his life situation, and the people he knows. You may also use this as your sole reading tool, which many straight psychics (psychics who appear to be working without any tool, such as Tarot cards) do.

All successful psychic readers, whether they have studied this or not, whether they are aware they are doing this or not, eventually learn to create this same energy link during their readings, and as a result, their readings become tremendously more accurate.

The primary psychic ability you are employing when you do this is your empathy, and the skill is known as clairsentience – the ability to sense and read energy. If you were using this same skill to read an object, it would be called Psychometry. Psychometry is discussed, along with a lot of other psychic tools, in Psychic Development Level 3.

Let’s study exactly what is happening here first, and then we’ll go on to do some exercises that will soon have you using clairsentience like a pro.

You learned in Chapter 2 how to sensitize yourself to your own aura so that you could feel it, and then to reach out to link to the aura of your partner or client. As you moved your hands over your partner’s palms, you were able to feel his aura, and describe it to him as warm, cold, cushiony, etc.

This growing awareness of his energy field as a separate aura that you could also feel allowed you to create the link that will be your connection to your partner for you to read through.

In essence, it’s as if in reaching out you dialed the phone, and when you were able to feel and describe his aura to him, he answered it. There will now be a direct phone line between you until you hang up – which happens when you remove your hands, or if you are reaching out through another part of your aura, when you consciously drop the connection at the end of your reading.

It is very important that you remember to do that, at the end of each session with a partner or client, and to go through the additional grounding techniques given in Chapter 2, if necessary, so that you don’t end up leaving the phone off the hook. Leaving the link open could allow your partner or client to continue to tie back into you all day or even all night. You could end up drained and tired, or have some very interesting dreams that are not your own, if you don’t break that link following each session!

Now, once you have created the link with your partner’s energy, you are ready to read him. Initially, you will always tell your partner what his energy feels like as you link in because it keeps you going through the proper sequence that helps you form the contact. But eventually, you will simply form the link, recognizing the feel of the energy, and proceed with your reading.

The first step in learning to read your partner or client through the auric link you created is to establish a second, visual connection. The easiest way to do this is to allow yourself to see a color that you will associate with him. Again, your visual connection will intensify if you tell him the color, and then define what it means to you, just as you did the vibration you felt from him. When you have a very strong mental grip on the color, let the color you associate with him fill your own mind. This draws YOU into a still deeper rapport with him. You are actually BECOMING his vibration. When the two vibrations have totally synchronized to the same level, that of your partner or client, you will be ready to do your reading, and you will get information visually, as well as empathically as feelings and emotions. Do not be concerned if initially you get most of your information through feelings, for that is not uncommon. You will quickly learn to interpret those feelings and do a good reading. And before long, your ability to perceive information visually will develop as well. This type of connection is so much easier for most people to make than a telepathic connection (which actually is formed on a higher plane), that usually, if the person you are reading is in the same room as you, or talking to you over the telephone, you will be relying on your clairsentience as opposed to your telepathy skills.

Let’s do an exercise that takes you just this far, so you can feel and experience the close rapport I am talking about:

Exercise #1: Establishing Deep Rapport, Connecting to the Astral Aura

1. Sit knee-to-knee facing a partner. For this first exercise you may use a pet if you have no human partner, but the rest of the exercises in this chapter require a human partner because you need to get feedback. It is possible to do this over the telephone, too, but as a beginner you will find this very difficult to do until you have first learned it and become adept at it in person.

2. Tell your partner to sit with his hands palms up in his lap, and to just relax. Or sit with your pet in easy touching distance.

3. Close your eyes, and take three deep diaphragmatic breaths to ground and center.

4. Now, either vigorously rub you palms together or hold your palms up in front of you, (Exercises #1 and #2 from Chapter 2) until you feel the sensation of your own aura on them.

5. Rotate your hands around one another as if you are rolling a ball between them to intensify the feeling in your palms. Do not touch your hands together. Note how your own aura feels.

6. Now, mentally put your bracelets on for protection. (Use gloves if you are very sensitive.) To do this use visualization, and also physically touch yourself to reinforce the feeling of a bracelet or glove. If your partner is also practicing to learn this technique, have him put bracelets on, too. If he is not, he will not be opening, so it is not necessary.

7. When you feel ready and have a good contact with your own aura, open your eyes and hold your hands out over your partner’s palms and continue to roll that invisible ball over your partners’ hands, until you begin to feel his aura. Try to perceive what his aura feels like, and tell him what you feel as you do. If you are working with your pet, hold your hands over the pet’s back or head, without touching it, and do the same thing.

8. Now close your eyes and take a deep diaphragmatic breath. As you release it, feel yourself drop deep into the alpha level brain waive pattern. Totally relax into the vibration you are feeling.

9. Mentally see a color coming through your link to your partner, into your own mind. To intensify the visual link, tell your partner the color(s) you see, and what it tells you about his personality (this should be easy, since you studied what the various auric colors mean in Chapter 1).

10. Now, take three more deep breaths. With each breath, feel yourself relaxing into the link still further. Allow the color you saw from your partner to fill your mind until there is nothing else but that color, and your partner linked to it. You are now in a deep rapport with your partner, ready to do a psychic reading!

11. But before you proceed, always do a reality check on yourself. Take a moment to feel into you. As you blended with your partner’s energy, did your heart speed up or slow down from its natural state? Did your breathing quicken or deepen? Did your body temperature go up or down? These changes in you tell you how your partner is different from you, and are normal. They help you to keep awareness that it is your partner that you are reading and feeling, as you proceed, and not yourself. From this moment on, any information you receive belongs to your partner, not you! It is very important to remember that. And one more thing to be aware of: when you do your reality check, if you feel a sense of revulsion, or extreme depression or other emotional problem that you don’t want to deal with, or just a feeling of, “I don’t want to do this,” then don’t! Not everyone CAN read everyone else, and not everyone should. There is no stigma in your saying at this point, “I’m sorry, we are not connecting well, I can’t read you today.”

12. Finally to end this current exercise, withdraw your hands, breaking the link. Give your hands a good shake to get rid of residual energy lingering there. Put them palms down on the floor and visualize white light pushing down through your head and pushing energy left by your partner down through your hands and into the ground. If after doing all of this your hands still feel tingly or like something is stuck to them, go and wash them.

13. Now, if your partner is also practicing this exercise, reverse roles and repeat the whole process.

In the preceding exercise you were able to fine-tune your auric reading to include a visual connection. You were also able to drop your conscious awareness down to an alpha wave state, which is the state you need to be in to do a psychic reading. You did this through concentration and focus combined with diaphragmatic breathing and letting go of the self.

Now, when you completed the exercise and came back to yourself, didn’t you feel a bit out of sync? Perhaps a bit disoriented? That is typical because for the past few minutes you were not in your own consciousness, you were actually sharing that of your partner. The disorientation you feel at the end of the exercise comes from the feeling of getting back into yourself. The deeper you go when you read in this fashion, the more time it takes to reorient when you complete your reading. Always allow yourself time at the end of a reading to get back into a normal beta mind consciousness (that is your normal waking state) before you drive, or go out in public, you need to make sure you are back to normal.

Now we’re going to move on to an exercise that combines your aura reading with remote viewing. For all intents and purposes, folks, this will be your first REAL psychic reading!

Exercise #2: Aura Reading with Remote Viewing

1. Sit knee-to-knee facing a partner. Your partner should sit with his or her palms facing up and should be ready to give you whatever feedback you need as you proceed through the exercise. Your partner should NOT lead you, or try to project anything at you.

2. Mentally put your bracelets on for protection.

3. Close your eyes, and take three deep diaphragmatic breaths to ground and center.

4. Use your favorite technique for finding your own aura, then place your palms in the air over your partner’s hands and find his. You will note that some psychics hold their client’s hands when they do this. I do not want you to do this. If you do, you will develop a dependency on touching, which you do not need to do to make this connection. In fact, eventually you will be able to reach out with a tendril of energy from your own aura to make the connection with your client’s energy field, and you will not need to use your hands at all. This looks and is much more professional.

5. Tell your partner what you feel as you connect with his aura.

6. Mentally see a color coming through your link to your partner, into your own mind. To intensify the visual link, tell your partner the color(s) you see, and what it tells you about his personality.

7. Now, take three more deep breaths. With each breath, feel yourself relaxing into the link still further. Allow the color you saw from your partner to fill your mind until there is nothing else but that color, and your partner linked to it.

8. Do your reality check on yourself. Take a moment to feel into you. As you blended with your partner’s energy, did your heart speed up or slow down from its natural state? Did your breathing quicken or deepen? Did your body temperature go up or down? If you get a feeling of, “I don’t want to do this,” then don’t!

9. Now, you’re going to do your first psychic reading using remote viewing through your connection to your partner’s aura energy. Go back to seeing the color from your partner in your mind. Relax deeply into the color as you allow your breathing to deepen. Now, travel THROUGH the color until you find yourself standing in front of your partner’s place of residence. If you know your partner, and where he now lives, look back in time to a residence he USED to live in before you knew him.

10. As you mentally stand in front of his residence, describe whatever you can see of it. Start small, and build, by asking yourself questions to keep your mind moving. Is it an apartment or a house? One story or two? Is there a garage? Which side is it on? What color is it? Is the front door centered, or off to one side? Is the street busy? Are there a lot of trees and foliage around? If you have trouble seeing clearly, then just go with what you feel and interpret those feelings for your partner.

11. When you are finished with the front of the house, work your way all around it, continuing to keep yourself moving in your mind by asking those questions.

12. When you are back in front, go up to the front door. This one time you have permission to enter. So go inside, and begin to move through the house from front to back, describing furniture, colors, layout, and anything else you see. Keep yourself moving by asking questions to lead yourself on to the next thing.

13. Finally to end this current exercise, withdraw your hands, breaking the link. Give your hands a good shake to get rid of residual energy lingering there. Put them palms down on the floor and visualize white light pushing down through your head and pushing energy left by your partner down through your hands and into the ground. If after doing all this, your hands still feel tingly or like something is stuck to them, go and wash them.

14. Now, if your partner is also practicing this exercise, reverse roles and repeat the whole process.

Congratulations! You have just done your first REAL psychic reading!

Now, in the above exercise, I want you to notice a few things that are very important. First of all, many times when you didn’t see something and only felt it was there, you began to see it as you described what you felt. It is this technique that will gradually develop your excellent clairvoyance. Next, you should have noted that as soon as you stopped asking yourself the questions of ‘what comes next,’ you stopped moving, stopped feeling, stopped seeing. This is the big problem that many straight psychics (psychics who work with no obvious tools) face. They give a great reading for five minutes and then begin to repeat themselves for the next 25 minutes because no new information is forthcoming. By asking questions, you lead your psyche on, deeper into the person’s life, or, in this case, house. Needless to say, people with naturally nosy and inquisitive minds tend to do very well with this type of reading!

Before you do the next exercise that will take you deeper into this world of auras and energy, let’s take a closer look at what is really happening when you do this exercise. Here’s an updated version of Figure 2 from Chapter 1:

Figure 7: The Psychic Web Connection

In Chapter 1, you learned about the three major sections of the aura. You are actually making your connection to your partner through the etheric aura (the part of the aura closest to the skin). When you let yourself see the color, you connect to the astral aura. Finally, when you go into the remote viewing mode you literally travel the psychic web, following your partner’s energy link through the web to his home. Your partner does not have to be thinking about his home for you to be able to link to it in this manner.

The psychic web is an awesome place. It literally is the energy field that connects everything in our material world to everything else. It also contains all of the past events and emotional connections in our lives, and all of the now-forming future ones as well.

Essentially, anything that you have ever thought about or experienced or will think about or experience is linked to you through the psychic web.

Well-trained psychics, once they enter the web through your auric field, can find out just about anything you want to know about your life, provided they ask the right questions to be able to pull up that particular piece of data you are looking for. Obviously the links you have to people with strong emotional ties will be the strongest and therefore, the easiest for a psychic to surf... but there really are no limitations.

And there is something else even more amazing about the psychic web. Since it links us all together, you can also read events and circumstances in other people’s lives who you don’t even know, just by following the links. Let’s take an example:

Suppose when I am looking inside the house in the previous exercise I see your partner’s mother there. Well, I can now link into her, and follow her in my mind to her own home and describe it. I can also follow the links around her to meet her boss at work, whom your partner has never met. If I want to, I can even shift my focus to him, and follow him, a total stranger to all of us, home, and meet his family... and so on, and so on. The point is that once I am IN the psychic web I am really IN and psychically speaking, I can surf just about anywhere. I can even take a look into your partner’s Mom’s boss’s future (if for some reason she should want to know about that) just by asking myself where he will be in, say, five years. As soon as I ask, immediately the visuals, feelings, and emotions pertinent to that information will become available to me.

Many people think of what I am describing here is being telepathic, but I assure you it is not. Telepathy is not nearly as easy to do! And once you have tried this a few times, you will be amazed at how quickly it comes to you.

We will do two more exercises to explore the possibilities discussed above. The next exercise will do exactly what I did in my example when I found your partner’s mother in her house. We will repeat the earlier exercise, but this time you will look for someone connected to your partner or client to follow, as I did in my example.

And in this last exercise you will learn to use aura reading (which you now see really combines clairsentience, clairvoyance, and remote viewing) to look into the future.

Exercise #3: Surfing the World-Wide Psychic Web

1. Sit knee-to-knee facing your partner. He should give you feedback, but not lead you. If he does, it will ruin your reading.

2. Mentally put your bracelets on for protection.

3. Close your eyes, and take three deep diaphragmatic breaths to ground and center.

4. Use your favorite technique for finding your own aura, then place your palms in the air over your partner’s hands and find his. Tell your partner what you feel as you connect with his aura.

5. Mentally see a color coming through your link to your partner, into your own mind. To intensify the visual link, tell your partner the color(s) you see, and what it tells you about his personality.

6. Do your reality check on yourself. If you get a feeling of, “I don’t want to do this,” then don’t!

7. Now, take three more deep breaths. With each breath, feel yourself relaxing into the link still further. Allow the color you saw from your partner to fill your mind until there is nothing else but that color, and your partner linked to it.

8. Now, travel THROUGH the color until you find yourself standing in front of your partner’s place of residence again. If you know no one will be there, go to his workplace instead. If you know your partner, and where he lives and works now, look back in time to a place from before you knew him.

9. As you mentally stand in front of the building, describe whatever you can see of it. Start small, and build, by asking yourself questions to keep your mind moving.

10. Go up to the front door. Go inside and begin to move through the building from front to back, describing furniture, colors, layout, and anything else you see. Move through it until you find a person.

11. Describe the person you see. Male, female, young or old? If your partner doesn’t recognize the other person it doesn’t mean you are wrong; he or she could either be someone who was there before your partner, or he may just not be recognizing the person because of how you are describing him or her. You can either keep going to look for someone he knows, or work with the person you found. If there is no one in the building you are looking at, you can go ahead and select a person from among the many strong emotional links your partner is bound to have to people in his life. To do this, just ask yourself, “Who’s important to him?” and begin to describe the look and feel of the person who came into your mind. That is an alternative way of doing this exercise.

12. However, you selected the person you are going to follow is fine. You are ready to follow the links now. Regarding the person you found connected to your partner – ask yourself first, “What is this person’s connection to my partner?”

13. Next ask, “Where does this person live?” Allow yourself to see and describe his or her home.

14. Now ask yourself, relative to this person connected to your partner, “Who, other than my partner, is important to this person and what is the connection between them?”

15. As soon as you ask that, a new person will pop into your mind. Describe that person as well... your partner may or may not know the person. Now, follow that person to his (or her) job, and ‘see’ what work he does. Describe all that you see to your partner so that he can get verification for you if he does not know the information.

16. Finally, to end this current exercise, withdraw your hands, breaking the link. Give your hands a good shake to get rid of residual energy lingering there. Put them palms down on the floor and visualize white light pushing down through your head and pushing energy left by your partner down through your hands and into the ground. If after doing all this, your hands still feel tingly or like something is stuck to them, go and wash them.

17. Now, if your partner is also practicing this exercise, reverse roles and repeat the whole process.

Wasn’t that amazing?! It is interesting that different people will do this exercise differently, yet most will achieve a high degree success with it. Usually people who are more emotional in nature have the best results following the people connected to the client right from the start. But people who need more grounding at the start of this exercise will do better focusing on a building or a place of work than on a relationship. Try it both ways and you will soon see what works best for you.

Now for our last exercise in this chapter – using the technique of psychic reading to look into the future: Looking into the future presents its own challenges, not because it is harder than looking at the past, but because something in our mind rebels at being able to do this, makes us think that it is too hard, or impossible. Of course, this is not the case at all. In fact, from the point of view of your Higher Self all time is happening at once. The second difficulty is more realistic though – you see the future is malleable, or flexible, because it has not yet passed into experience. As a primarily future-oriented psychic myself, I will tell you that from my point of view the only reason to want to see into the future at all is so that you will know what you might want to change.

Exercise #4: Breaking the Time Barrier

1. Sit knee-to-knee facing your partner.

2. Mentally put your bracelets on for protection.

3. Close your eyes, and take three deep diaphragmatic breaths to ground and center.

4. Use your favorite technique for finding your own aura, then place your palms in the air over your partner’s hands and find his. Tell your partner what you feel as you connect with his etheric aura.

5. Mentally see a color coming through your link to your partner, into your own mind. To intensify the visual link, tell your partner the color(s) you see, and what it tells you about his personality. This establishes your link to his astral aura.

6. Do your reality check on yourself. If you get a feeling of, “I don’t want to do this,” then don’t!

7. Now, take three more deep breaths. With each breath, feel yourself relaxing into the link still further. Allow the color you saw from your partner to fill your mind until there is nothing else but that color, and your partner linked to it.

8. Now, travel THROUGH the color until you find yourself looking at a person who is important to your partner. Describe that person. Get feedback. Stay with it until you and the partner know who this person is.

9. See what this person is doing in his (or her) life now. Is he happy, sad, what is his employment... what are his aspirations?

10. Now project five years into the future for this person. What do you see him doing? Is this person happy? What is his connection to your partner in the future?

11. To end this current exercise, withdraw your hands, breaking the link. Give your hands a good shake to get rid of residual energy lingering there. Put them palms down on the floor and visualize white light pushing down through your head and pushing energy left by your partner down through your hands and into the ground. If after doing all this, your hands still feel tingly or like something is stuck to them, go and wash them.

12. Now, if your partner is also practicing this exercise, reverse roles and repeat the whole process.

Of course, other than getting verification that you are looking at a person your partner knows, you cannot get verification on the future information you got in this reading. If, however, you had only looked ahead, say, three months, you could get feedback in three months time. You may want to try that, too.

There is also one other bit of information you should know about looking ahead at people. Very occasionally they are just not there. This could indicate one of two things: either they have totally left your partner or client’s life, or they may have passed on in five years. I suggest that unless your client specifically wants to know if these people may die, that you NOT volunteer that information, especially since you might be wrong.

One last word on psychic etiquette is in order. By now, you should know that to use your psychic abilities to pry is wrong. Now that you know how to surf the psychic web those words have never been more true. You should never look into someone’s life situation unless asked, and even then, if a person asks you questions about another person, you should tell him only what affects him directly about that person. Private lives should remain private lives.

End of Chapter Activities

1. Continue to record your dreams and practice your dream interpretation.

2. Do another telepathy exercise with a friend, again sending and receiving a person whose aura will be read. This time, you may send a thoughtform or use your ordinary sending method, whichever is most comfortable. In addition to recording the way the person looks and the color of his aura, see what you can tell about the person.

3. Practice all of the exercises for feeling and reading the aura.

4. Feel representatives of all four elements, (fire, air, earth, and water) and describe what your partner’s energy feels like to you.

5. Continue to meditate daily.

6. Continue to do your Chakra Meditation daily.

Chapter 4

‘Scanning’ the Aura for Health

Every psychic will eventually be asked about health matters by a client. Whether you are interested in psychic healing or psychically reading the aura for health is of no consequence. Whether this is your area of choice, it is inevitable that at some time clients will ask you for your opinion about a medical condition, or to tell them what you see about them relative to their health. You must be able to do this to at least some degree in order to attempt to satisfy the needs of your clients, if you are a professional psychic. And even if you have no desire to become a professional psychic, the ability to scan an aura for health will be an invaluable aid in recognizing and handling family health matters. And what’s more, now that you have learned to do psychic readings by connecting to the aura of your partner or client, learning to do a health scan of his or her aura is easy.

But before you learn to do a health scan, there are a few preliminary things you need to know about.

First of all, although a psychic health scan of the aura can be phenomenally accurate, it is NOT a substitute for a complete medical examination by a qualified, trained, and certified health professional. You should ALWAYS make that clear to your clients, as well as to any friends or family members you do health scans on.

Secondly, be aware that if you do a health scan and present it as a medical diagnosis, and the person you are doing this on follows the advice to his or her detriment, you can be held liable legally. I would definitely NOT present my health scan of a client as a complete diagnosis, and whatever I found as a result of the scan I would encourage the client to have double checked by a physician. Be aware, folks, that this is and has always been my approach, even though I am licensed by the State of Florida to do what I do, and the license legally protects me in my psychic work. I present my health scan as just that – a psychic health scan... and I encourage my clients to go to their regular doctors for confirmation and treatment. I do this for them, not for legal protection, because it is the right thing to do.

By now, all of you reading this should be gradually becoming aware that there are many subtle ethics in the psychic field that are not written out anywhere, yet every good psychic automatically employs them. In the health area it is even more important that you adhere to these unstated ethics than in any other area.

The health scan you are going to learn to do in the following pages is an extension of the aura reading you were doing in the previous chapter, and doing it should come very easily to you. However, all of you reading these pages have varying backgrounds relative to the elements of biology. Some of you loved your high school biology class and still remember where every internal organ is; others hated it and never learned anything to begin with, but most of you reading this lie somewhere between these two poles. When you do a health scan you are going to be looking at and feeling into the body of your client, from the inside out as it were. If you get a black spot, or a feeling of pressure, for example, in the client’s mid-region, but have no understanding of what organs are in that part of the body, your ability to give any worthwhile information will be extremely limited. For that reason, I am including a very basic schematic of the body’s major organs here. You will at least need to know where these are. Keep the diagram handy for the first few of these you do, so you can check what you see and feel against it.

Figure 8: Basic Schematic of Several Body Organs

The following exercise to do a health scan follows the same basic pattern as the exercises from the preceding chapter. It will be easy to build upon those exercises to achieve success here. You will start out just like you did before, and then follow my directions as I guide you through your partner’s body. Your partner can either give you feedback as you go along, or hold it to the end. Try it both ways, with different people, and see which way works best for you! Also, initially you will find this easier if a third person reads the instructions aloud to you, leaving you to focus on what you are seeing and feeling. Or, you may leave the book open for your partner to read to you as you proceed through the exercise. This has the value of training your partner to know the steps! You should do the same thing when it’s your partner’s turn.

Exercise #1 – Scanning the Aura for Health Problems

1. Sit knee-to-knee facing your partner.

2. Mentally put your bracelets on for protection.

3. Close your eyes, and take three deep diaphragmatic breaths to ground and center. Eventually, you may do the health scan with your eyes open, but for now you will find it easier to visualize what is inside your partner’s body, and feel what he might be feeling, with your eyes shut.

4. Use your favorite technique for finding your own aura, then place your palms in the air over your partner’s hands and find his. Tell your partner what you feel as you connect with his etheric aura.

5. Mentally see a color coming through your link to your partner, into your own mind. To intensify the visual link, tell your partner the color(s) you see, and what it tells you about his personality. This establishes your link to his astral aura. In this case, since your purpose is to conduct a health scan, you should also tell your partner what chakra the color you are seeing is associated with, that is so well-developed that it dominates his aura. He will either have very strong organs associated with it (see Chapter 1) or problems with those organs. Your health scan should reveal this.

6. Do your reality check on yourself. Pay very close attention this time to how the different parts of YOUR body feel. Remember, in tuning in to your partner, it is as if YOU no longer exist... what you are feeling is either the difference between you and your partner, or entirely his. So, if at this point, for example, you feel short of breath, your partner may have a lung or breathing problem. Mention the physical sensations you feel. Your partner doesn’t need to give you feedback on this yet... as you conduct your health scan you will look more closely at the areas you have felt might be a problem during your reality check. As always, if you get a feeling of, “I don’t want to do this,” then don’t! That is particularly important when doing a health scan – that feeling might be your Higher Self protecting you from picking up a health problem!

7. Now, take three more deep breaths. With each breath, feel yourself relaxing into the link still further. Allow the color you saw from your partner to fill your mind until there is nothing else but that color, and your partner linked to it.

8. Now, travel THROUGH the color until you find yourself looking inside the top of your partner’s head. It may actually feel as if your whole consciousness has literally moved inside his cranium. Now, look around. You are going to start with a scan of his head, face, and neck. Pay attention to what you see as you mentally look, but also to what you feel. In this exercise many people find their empathy and clairsentience their greatest assets. Just remember that whatever you feel while you are in here is not yours; it is your partner’s!

a. First, look at the brain tissue. It should look pinkish and healthy. If it is gray or brownish your partner may be overtired or be prone to headaches. The latter is especially true if you see red streaks... that could indicate pain. Black dots could indicate a serious medical problem; recommend that he see a physician. If you feel any pain as you look, that is also a signal of a problem, probably with headaches or sinusitis.

b. Look at the area behind and around your partner’s eyes. Again, if you feel pressure as you look, there could be a problem with headaches or sinusitis. Look at the eyeballs themselves. If you feel pressure inside of them this could be glaucoma. Do not diagnose. Tell what you feel and suggest he ask his eye doctor about it the next time he sees him. If visual acuity is better in one eye than the other, you may actually see one eye more clearly than the other! Any dark dots or red streaks, or shadowy or muddy colors can indicate problems, too.

c. Look at your partner’s inner ears. They should look clear and you will also probably have a sensation going all the way down inside your own ears as you look, telling you the audio passages are clear. Again, you may feel as if one ear is clearer than the other – it may be that the person hears better with that ear, not necessarily that there is any medical problem.

d. Look at your partner’s face beneath his eyes. If he is prone to sinusitis you will feel pressure there, in your own face, and/or see a darkening of or black spots in the area. The latter is often the case if your partner is a smoker.

e. Look at the inside of your partner’s mouth. If he has had recent dental work, your sight will be drawn to it. If he needs dental work, you may see a certain area discolored, and may also feel an ache in your own tooth. Remember, this is your partner’s problem, not yours!

f. Now look at your partner’s throat, inside. It should look pink and healthy. Red will indicate illness – probably sore throat.

g. Look at the outside of his throat and neck. Many people accumulate neck tension. If your partner is one of these people, you will either be drawn to look at a certain area more closely, and may see streaks of red there, or you will suddenly feel pain and tension in your own neck as soon as your focus moves to your partner’s neck. Remember, this is not yours! Let it go as soon as you identify it. And with this, you are done scanning your partner’s head, face, and neck!

9. Now, move your mental eyes down to your partner’s upper torso. Look with your inner eyes at each of the internal organs you see there:

a. Look first at your partner’s lungs. These should look pinkish to your inner eyes. If they look gray, or brown, or have black spots or red streaks, or look small and shriveled, there may be a lung problem. Tell him to consult his medical doctor. Or, you may feel that it is hard for YOU to take a breath, or that as soon as you focus on your partner’s lungs you feel a pain in your own chest. Empaths often feel their partner’s problems. Remember, it is not your own. Tell your partner what you see or feel, then let it go!

b. Now look at your partner’s heart area. The heart may look a dark red, or a dark reddish-brown, or even purplish if it is healthy. Gray, or streaked, or pale pink, is not a healthy heart. If you’re drawn to its size, either very large, or very small, this is significant. It can be symbolic of your partner’s emotional make-up, or indicate a possible health issue. While you are looking at the heart, take a look at the surrounding veins and arteries. These should look healthy and clear. Again, empaths might feel pain or pressure in their chest if there is a heart problem. Report what you feel, then let it go.

c. Next, look at your partner’s stomach. This is always fun because if he ate a meal earlier, you are bound to see or feel whether his stomach is having an easy time digesting the meal.

d. Now, look at the liver, spleen, gallbladder, and pancreas. Do you feel drawn to look at any of these organs more closely? If you are, it is probably because there is some functional problem. Tell your partner what you see and what you feel. Now you are ready to move on to the lower torso.

10. You are now going to scan your partner’s lower torso:

a. Focus your inner eyes on your partner’s intestinal area. As above with the stomach, you are likely to both see and feel how his last meal is digesting. But more important will be any sensation or appearance of blockage, and also look for dark or red spots. Again, report what you see and feel, then let it go.

b. Move your attention downward again to your partner’s genitals. Once again, if these organs are healthy they should look pinkish. If they are discolored (gray, white, purplish, or spotted with black dots or red or brown streaks) or if you have painful twinges in that area of your own body, report what you see or feel, and let it go. Often when you are doing this exercise on a woman partner, you will have a sensation of nothing there... or won’t be able to see the organs. In that case, she probably doesn’t have them!

c. Now, move your attention down to the bladder, and report any impressions you receive. Then move around to your partner’s back, and look at his kidneys, located on either side of the lower back. Again, report any impressions. You are done looking at your partner’s lower torso. Let’s move on to his arms and legs.

11. Scanning your partner’s extremities:

a. Focus first on each arm, including hands and fingers. It is normal to feel one stronger than the other. Look for redness around joints, or feel pain in your own if you pick this up empathically. Report what you see and feel, then let it go.

b. While you are looking at the arms, notice your partner’s shoulders. Many people carry tension in this area. If your partner does, you will see redness there, and perhaps feel tension in your own shoulders.

c. Now, look at your partner’s thighs, knees, ankles and feet. You will often see or feel a residue of past injuries in these areas. Current problems will usually show as redness around joints, or flecks of black, past injuries as a sort of vagueness in the area, or a grayish look, as if circulation is inhibited. Again, report what you see, then let it go.

12. Move on to scan your partner’s back. Start with the upper back, and move down the spine to the lower back. You may find you can actually see vertebrae, and muscle, as you get good at this. As a beginner, if your partner has a problem with one portion of his back, you will be drawn to look at it. If the problem is active, you may see redness, feel pressure or pain; if it is inactive, you will merely be drawn there.

13. Now, to end this current exercise, withdraw your hands, breaking the link. Give your hands a good shake to get rid of residual energy lingering there. Put them palm down on the floor and visualize white light pushing down through your head and pushing energy left by your partner down through your hands and into the ground. If after doing all this, your hands still feel tingly or like something is stuck to them, go and wash them.

14. Now, if your partner is also practicing this exercise, reverse roles and repeat the whole process.

You should be very proud of yourself after you have completed this. This level of psychic reading is actually quite advanced, and I know you did it beautifully, if you have followed all of the preceding exercises in this book!

Before I move on though, remember these pointers:

1. You are not a doctor. Make sure your partner/client knows that.

2. If you find something that looks or feels like an illness or serious problem, do not make a big deal about it. YOU COULD BE WRONG and you’d only get your partner needlessly upset. Just tell your partner what you see or feel, and that it might represent a potential problem so he should check it out next time he sees his medical doctor. He may even give you feedback and know what it is already! But remember not to ‘prey’ on his insecurity and fear by building it into something it may not even be! Be very careful how you present your information. People tend to get frightened very easily when their health is discussed, and you may not even realize it.

3. Remember, that when you are doing this exercise what you see and feel IS NOT YOU! That is incredibly important. Even with your bracelets on it is possible to pick up your client’s health issue if you buy into it!

4. Those of you who are empaths now understand why it is so important when you walk into a room and suddenly get a headache to ask, “Ok, who’s got the headache?” Once you place where it is coming from it is easy to let it go and to not buy into it.

Over the years I have achieved astonishing results using this technique in my readings. I have been able to predict illnesses before they occurred, found an extra bone in someone’s foot (the person did verify that after a visit to the doctor), even been able to identify past illnesses or traumas and the circumstances surrounding them. You will soon be able to do this, too. But remember, as with anything else, you are not 100 percent right. You are not GOD. Leave yourself your humanity and be humble in how you conduct yourself as a reader. Just do your best. That is all that is ever required.

Also, just as with the aura reading in Chapter 3, you will eventually reach a point where you do not need to put your hands over your partner’s hands or body, you just have to reach out with your consciousness (which sends a tendril of your own auric energy out to link with your partner or client). And because this is so natural and will become so easy to do, remember the psychic etiquette... DON’T PRY! You never do an aura health scan unless requested to, and by the person you are scanning!

A Word About Psychic Self Defense

After your experience doing the health scan above, you are aware of just how receptive you are becoming to the energies of other people. As your psychic ability and your sensitivity develop, your need for psychic protection grows, too. Your increasing sensitivity allows other people you randomly encounter to ‘download’ on you very quickly. As a developing psychic, you are at your most vulnerable now! You may begin to need extra protection in your daily life. Don’t be hesitant to go back to the tools you learned in Psychic Development Level 1 and employ them for protection. Use your energy balloon often, surround yourself with white light as often as you can remember, use your energy tools, and do your Chakra Meditation exercise daily. In addition, I’ve included a few names of excellent books on Psychic Self Defense at the end of the chapter. Read them, and use it!

End of Chapter Exercises

1. Continue to record your dreams and practice your dream interpretation.

2. Continue to meditate.

3. Continue to do your Chakra exercise.

4. Make a note of your cone of power whenever you see it working in your life.

5. Practice the health scan on as many different subjects as you can.

6. Review your progress on your one-month programming from Psychic Development Level 1, your self-hypnosis. Renew and expand upon it. For those of you who didn’t take or read Psychic Development Level 1, I’m including a synopsis of that exercise at the end of this chapter.

7. Try this exercise in remote viewing if you plan on taking Psychic Development Level 3 (because the answer to this will be in that book):

- I have strategically placed three envelopes in special locations, just for the purpose of your long distance viewing. They are three different sizes, three different colors, and are in three different places. They each contain a simple object. Long-distance view them and tell what size and color they are, see the room and furnishings around them to tell where they are, and look inside to see what is in them.

Programming Exercise From Psychic Development Level 1

1-Month Programming Using Self-Hypnosis

1. Take three deep breaths as you ground and center yourself.

2. Surround yourself with white light.

3. Do your 10-Point progressive relaxation.

4. Move to your personal workplace on the inner planes, and put your cares and concerns into your worry box outside the door. Go inside.

5. Look all around you and see what has changed or been added since you were last here. If this is your first trip to your workplace, make a mental note of how everything looks. Changes in your workplace reflect changes in yourself.

6. Move to your worktable, and turn on your energy screen there.

7. Now you will do your 1-Month Programming.

- See yourself on the screen, looking exactly the way you did this morning in your mirror. Now, think about how you want to look physically. Project that image over the first until the first image is gone and only the second remains. Say to yourself, “This is how I will look within one month from now.” As you watch, let the image float off the screen and drift off into the universe, where it will be able to manifest physically within the next month.

- Again, see yourself on the screen as you are now, and think about how you want to feel health-wise in the next month. Now see a vibrant, radiant, smiling and totally healthy YOU superimpose its image over the first you on the screen. Say to yourself, “This is how I will feel physically within one month from now.” Float that image off the screen, too, and send it off into the universe so it can manifest in your life.

- Look at the blank screen again, and again let an image of the current you appear on the screen. Project an image of self that is smiling, happy and joyous onto the screen until it is superimposed over the first you. Say to yourself, “This is how I will feel emotionally within one month from now.” Once again, float the image off the screen and watch it move out into the universe. Let it go.

- Now, look again at the blank screen. See yourself again, as you are now, but this time see yourself completing something you have wanted to get done. You see yourself put the last touches on the job, smiling, while you feel a sense of happy satisfaction. Say to yourself, “I will finish this job within one month from now.” Float that image off the screen and let it go, too, as it moves out into the universe.

- Last, look at your blank screen and see again an image of the current you there. See yourself doing that particular psychic thing that you want most to be very good at. See yourself successful. Feel the happiness of doing something well. Now, float this image off the screen, too, and let it go out into the universe.

8. Now turn your energy screen off, and step back from your worktable. Turn all around again in order to see what, if anything, has changed in your workplace. When you are done, move out of your workplace and count yourself back from 10 to 1, normal waking consciousness.

It is a good idea to do your programming monthly, and also annually. You can also do it in-between if there is something special you want to program!

Chapter 5

Conclusion

What we have been doing in reading the aura throughout these pages can also be considered psychometry. Although the term psychometry is usually reserved for reading the vibrations on an object, you have essentially learned the technique of how to do it in learning to feel and read the aura around a person. In Psychic Development Level 3, the next course manual following this one, you will learn more about vibration, how to psychometrize objects, how to do automatic writing, crystal gazing, use a pendulum, and even astral travel. Along the way, you will also meet your guides!

Many years ago I came across a dream experiment, actually a series of exercises relative to dreaming, that had been published in Omni Magazine. Ostensibly, the purpose of the experiment was to learn to gain control of your dreams while in the dream state – i.e., to learn to lucid dream. Lucid dreaming is an excellent goal in and of itself, for it allows for problem solving in the dream state. However, I quickly discovered the exercises presented in this experiment were great preparation for teaching my students to astral travel as well. I am including the exercises here so that you can begin working with them. Those of you who are going to continue on to Psychic Development Level 3 will find it a good idea to start practicing these exercises now. By the time we get to the last lesson/chapter of Psychic Development 3, you will be ready to astral travel consciously. These exercises should be done frequently over a two-week period, and the whole process can be repeated several times. Stephen LaBerge of Stanford University, and Jayne Gackenback of the University of Northern Iowa originally developed the exercises; both were psychologists investigating lucid dreaming. Good luck in all your psychic studies!

Omni Dream Experiment Exercise #1: To Start Lucid Dreaming

To facilitate lucid dreaming, you should ask yourself often during the course of the day whether you are dreaming. Each time you ask this question look for evidence that shows you are NOT dreaming. For example, read something, look away and then look back and read it again. If it was the same when you looked back, you are not dreaming. After you have proved in this manner that you are NOT dreaming, visualize yourself doing something you would like to do. Tell yourself right after that you want to recognize a dream at night the next time it occurs – coupling these things together will help you to remember the next time you dream, while you are dreaming. If you wake up from a dream, go back to it immediately in your imagination; if your intention is strong and clear enough, you might find yourself awake in your dreams as you return to sleep.

Omni Dream Experiment Exercise #2: Dream Flying

Dream flying is important because as LaBerge and Gackenbach say, it is a form of dream control that is easy to do. It gives you a sense of freedom and it is a basic means of travel in dreams. I would also add that it trains you to astral travel in the dream state. So, while you are conducting this experiment on yourself, concentrate on dream flight. In your dreams if you are falling, turn the fall into flying. If you are merely traveling, don’t walk, run, or drive... fly. But how do you get yourself to fly in your dreams? Before going to bed each night, rub your Third Eye as we do to remember our dreams, but say, “Tonight, I will fly in my dreams.” Then, take a moment to imagine your dream flight, to pre-program your unconscious mind. Then later, if you find yourself flying, say, “This is a dream.” As you begin to be able to wake to flying in a dream, gradually take control and experiment with different types of flying – i.e., floating, increasing altitude and speed, and maneuvering. Ask yourself questions such as, “How high can I fly?” or, “Can I travel so fast that I experience the sensation of pure speed?” Asking the question will help you to attain the experience. The last question, about speed, is most important because it is one of the methods used to leave the body to enter the astral plane.

Omni Dream Experiment Exercise #3: Dream Spinning

Even lucid dreamers often wake up in mid-dream. It is hard to get your mind to stay asleep once it realizes it is dreaming. Also, when you try to take control of a dream, it often creates enough of a normal waking-awareness state that it wakes you up. The idea is to stay asleep, be awake in the dream, and take control of it so that you are making it happen the way you want it to. LaBerge and Gackenback found, in their years of dream research, and that spinning your dream body can sustain the period of sleep, prevent you from waking, and give you greater dream control. I find this interesting because my own experience in astral traveling has shown me that spinning the dream or astral body is another way of moving onto the astral plane. To practice dream spinning, you start before you go to bed, just like you did with dream flying. Before going to bed, decide on a person, a time, and a place you would like to visit in your dream. This person and place can be real, imaginary, past, present, or future. Write down your target, memorize it, and then visualize yourself visiting the person in a dream that night. When you first do this, you may wake up from a dream and remember that you have visited the person in the dream state. This is good, but you should keep practicing until you are lucid in the dream while you are visiting the person. Go back into the dream, first repeating your intention to visit that person in that time and that place... then spin your whole dream body in a standing position with your arms outstretched, so that you can vividly feel your body in motion. This same spinning technique helps when you are in a lucid dream and feel yourself starting to wake. To avoid waking, begin spinning, and repeat your target phrase over and over again. Notice when you are spinning if you are moving clockwise or counterclockwise. A counterclockwise spin tends to get you out of the body quickly, while conscious, a clockwise spin tends to send you deeply into sleep, but also takes you out of the body.

Omni Dream Experiment Exercise #4: Creative Dreaming

This involves solving a problem in the lucid dream state. Before bed, decide on a problem you need to solve. Frame your problem in your mind as a question. Once you have selected the problem question, write it down and also memorize it. When you are doing the lucid-dream exercises here, remember your question and see yourself looking for the answer in your next lucid dream.

About the Author

Like many who realize their psychic gifts later in life, Sandy Anastasi awakened to her abilities in her late 20's. She understood that many people develop deep psychological problems because their psychic abilities are misunderstood and often blocked. These insights and an inner need to pass on her knowledge and abilities led her to begin teaching others to develop their own psychic gifts. She believes that if you are psychic, you MUST use your gifts, or at least learn to control them, or they will use you!

Sandy has many psychic gifts, but she believes her greatest to be the ability to identify and emulate the gifts of others. Because of that she is uniquely suited to teach people to open and develop those very gifts in themselves.

Sandy has been a professional psychic and astrologer since 1979. She holds a B.S. degree from Adelphi University and has teaching certifications in several fields. In addition to teaching, Sandy has worked as a Safety Engineer, and owned her own small book store for many years before retiring to become a full time psychic counselor, writer and teacher. Sandy's writings include books on Astrology, Kabbala, and Tarot, as well as Psychic Development.

Sandy has also appeared on many radio and television shows over the years, most notably Crossing Over and Cross Country – both television shows hosted by her good friend and former student, John Edward. She currently lives in Florida with her husband and four dogs.
