The Opening - Beginning of Natural Psychic Skills

"Those who have developed 'psychic' powers have simply let some of the limitations they laid upon their minds be lifted" A Course in Miracles

I remember clearly the first time I knew I had experienced spirit. Reversing out of the driveway on my way to the supermarket, a figure caught my eye. It darted from the front room, appearing to be dressed all in black; I sat frightened in the car thinking a burglar had waited until I had left the house before moving from their hiding place.

Continuing to look, I thought to myself, burglars do not pass through walls and remain standing looking at you. The figure moved closer to the front door, as it did, I saw a very happy lady approximately in her seventies waving back at me. It was my grandmother; she had passed over into spirit a few years previously. Relieved it wasn't a burglar I continued on my way to the supermarket.

From that point forward for a few months I wandered around very confused. I had no way of understanding what had happened. No one in my immediate surroundings understood what I had experienced. Most thought I had temporarily lost my mind or didn't want to discuss it, such things frightened them.

Most people fear the unknown and anything out of the ordinary often fills them with anguish. Most of us are brought up with linear, logical thinking, our spiritual and psychic side often squashed in early childhood as part of a vivid imagination. We forget we have these amazing skills we naturally possess and stuff them deep down into the place where no one goes until a chipping starts and the flame of the light worker within ignites and a stretch for development begins. For many it is the constant and prolific flashes of intuition, the strong desire to change and grow the fascination with bright colours such as pink, purple and white, the meeting of spirit similar to my experience and the calling of your name when no one is in the room.

Some of these things start with strong changes in your life or follow emotional trauma. Psychologists and psychiatrists have a less than polite name for it, but I have noticed a reoccurring pattern in a lot of people during my many years of teaching psychic development. What I call the opening starts in similar ways for most people.
