Hey everyone:
A little bit about me-
I am a 19 year old college student who has Clairvoyant abilities and Psychic abilities that I am learning how to use through CCM. I first had a lot of intuition when I was around 16-17 and I finally found a community online where I could learn how to use my gifts. I started out on my journey as a Witch. However, this path was so selfish, I tried to discover another path and found Rhiannon- my now mentor in all things Druid and Psychic.
I just wanted to write a small article on how meditation enormously impacted my abilities and on some difficulties I had starting out in meditation.
I use the meditations found in the Science of Intuition course and I am only on the 4th week with them and they are amazingly designed. If you have any inkling you may have abilities enroll in this course, as they will get so much better as you progress and Rhiannon is the best teacher out there.
Before meditation, my abilities had little form. Sure, I could see inside of things and have inklings of the future, but I never truly found anything on my own- it was just happenstance. Now, sense meditation, I have begun to tap into my abilities and occurrences that they have helped me has increased tenfold. This is definitely due to meditation. Through the SoI meditations, my mind has become so much more calm and awake to using these abilities. Now, while Clairvoyance, in my opinion , is one of the "easier" abilities to figure out how to use it still takes a ton of work to make sure you are using it and not just your imagination.
This leads me to my next point of this article--meditation difficulties. My mind is always racing during the day, from random thoughts to songs in my head. It is a CHAOS in there! However, doing appropriate meditating simply does not allow this. The first difficulty is clearing your head and your mind so that you can effectively meditate and concentrate. One of the ways Rhiannon suggested was to use a flame or a bowl of water and hold that in your mind. I started out with a literal candle and saw every aspect until I could hold it in my head. This took about 2 weeks just to calm my mind before I could even think about grounding or shielding or anything else! This gives me something to think about, something to concentrate on instead of my Conscious Self always in control.
I hope this helps!
