A Beginner's Guide to Psychic Connection

Spiritual practices for protecting yourself while learning to connect to your guides and higher self.

I was five-years-old when I first got in trouble for talking about the magical creatures I could see.

Like many people of psychic ability, from a very young age I demonstrated abilities of clairvoyance, clairaudience and claircognizance. Unfortunately (and also like many other psychics) my human family of origin did not understand anything about this, and as a result I was accused of and punished for lying.

As a result of this continual punishment, I prayed and asked Jesus to make my “seeing” go away. And it did.

This is one of many reasons why we shut down our own abilities as children—for fear of punishment or rejection.

Another reason we shut down our abilities has to do with fear messaging that has infiltrated media from all sides regarding all things paranormal—ghosts, spirit activity, extraterrestrials and even energy itself.

As impressionable children, we become terrified of what is framed as scary or unnatural to us, when the truth is that as children we are closer to the spirit world than any grown-up naturally exists at.

As children, we have barely entered into the physical world and when we dream, we are in our natural spirit state again.

Many children born into the world now will never fully forget where they came from.

But I digress.

The adults who struggle now (and I was once this person) to connect with our higher selves and spirit teams usually do not have a hardware problem. I have yet to meet a completely non-psychic adult. I do not, in fact, think they exist.

Everyone is psychic, and that’s because everyone has a soul. Everyone is part of Spirit or Source or God (whatever you want to call it).

What must be done is recovering our natural abilities and rediscovering the ways in which our teams are always present with us.

They didn’t stop being there. We just stopped being able to perceive them.

So what do we do?

First Things First: Release Expectations

As children, everything we have now termed “spiritual” or “paranormal” or “metaphysical” was just normal and natural for us. Some of us perceived our guides as we entered a hypnagogic state, just before falling asleep. Others of us saw angels in the garden or on the playground. Some of us heard voices—like those of our passed-on grandparents—giving us messages of love and reassurance. Some others of us began exercising a gift of precognition, surprising those around us. Others had dreams. Still others experienced what is often called paranormal activity—or ghosts and extraterrestrial presence.

These were natural occurrences.

Not one of us as children thought to themselves, “Why can’t I perceive the supernatural like Johnny? Why has my clairaudience not come on? What is wrong with me that I can’t remember my dreams?”

When we were born, each of us entered the field of 3D physical reality with a built-in set of programming that consists of our past lives, our souls’ personalities, our missions, and the ancestral lineage we were born into. The combined information in these categories makes up our spiritual (sometimes called galactic) DNA, which also shows up on a physical level as RNA (the DNA that we’ve been told is inaccessible). Really, all that DNA is just our programming; the way we are naturally wired to communicate with Spirit, help those around us, and experience/create joy.

Before we really begin to perceive our natural ways of connecting, we need to release the expectations that they will look a certain way.

They may resemble the gifts of others, but no one is perceiving reality exactly like you, because no one else is you.
