Welcome! My book WRITING THE DIVINE: HOW TO USE CHANNELING FOR SOUL GROWTH & HEALING will be out with Llewellyn very soon (November 2009), and it contains everything you need to know to develop your psychic abilities, right down to the nitty gritty. Until then, this mini-course will help you learn more about your own innate psychic abilities (and yes, you do have them!) Questions? Stop by www.sarawiseman.com, and tell me what’s on your mind.
Lesson One…What is the ONE simple secret to psychic “opening”? Okay—hang onto your helmets—because this answer may surprise you! The most important key to developing psychic ability is direct connection. By direct connection I mean a direct, two-way communication between you and the Divine, the universe, God, the All, the One, Jesus, Buddha, Amma, the collective soul—whatever name you want to give he, she, it or them. This is so important, I want to say it again! The doorway to psychic ability—the way you get from here to there—is through direct connection. The good news is, that means getting there is very, very easy. Great, you say. Thanks for the pointer—but how am I supposed to learn this direct connection thing, anyhow? I mean, two-way connection between me and the Divine? Me talking to God/the universe/the All? And receiving a clear answer back? Well… If you are a person who prays, you already have some experience. If you are person who meditates, you already have a feel for it.

If you are a person who finds themselves blissed out when you listen to certain music, or when you hang out in nature just listening to the breeze blow, you already know what this state feels like. I call this these sort of trance-like activities “locking into the hum.” And if you can do that—you can do any psychic technique you please. Really!
Lesson Two…Why do you want to be psychic anyhow? Pencils ready? Please take the following quiz: “I want to develop my psychic abilities to:” a)
Win the lottery and move to Barbados
b)
Wee what my future is
c)
Get a cable TV show and make a bazillion bucks as Madame Zorba
d)
All of the above
e)
None of the above
Of course, I know you answered e) None of the above, which is the correct answer! Ding, ding, ding! Congratulations. We have a winner! That’s because both the cause and the effect of psychic development is….drum roll please….soul growth. This was made quite clear to me when I channeled THE 33 LESSONS as part of my book WRITING THE DIVINE in spring 2008, and experience a complete psychic “opening” in the process. That’s right—from soccer mom to psychic in two short months. Let me tell you, it was a wild ride! There I sat, huddled on the sofa with my laptop, receiving a steady stream of spiritual teachings similar to Course in Miracles or what Neale Donald Walsch received when he wrote

Conversations with God—over 120 pages—and the most important of all was “the purpose of life is soul growth.” Clear. Simple. Unavoidably true. From that moment on, I’ve understood that the reason we’re here on earth is not to achieve, not to have more stuff, not to lose that last 20 pounds, not to make more money, but to understand we are all One, to connect deeply with each other, to open our hearts with compassion, and to work through our “soul lessons” as best as we can. So, be forewarned: if you’re looking for psychic development so you can see the future, or find missing objects, or practice astral projection, all this will happen. But every time you practice and/or use your psychic abilities, you will be connecting deeply to the place where the Divine resides. You will be creating a direct connection. This is the real stuff. And it will change your life.
Lesson Three …What are the 10 core psychic abilities? Let’s take a look at psychic abilities. Different folks may have a different list than mine, but from my own practice and research, here’s what I’ve discovered.
1. Clairvoyance or the art of psychic seeing. If you are clairvoyant, you will be able to see “pictures in your head” or “movies in your mind”. Some people see in what I call their mind’s eye; others see visions. You might also see images that are symbolic, such as dollar sign for money. You might see spirit guides or angels, or the physical vision of people who’ve died. Basically, folks who are clairvoyant receive the bulk of their information visually.

2. Clairaudience, or the art of psychic hearing. If you’re clairaudient, you’ll hear things. You may hear from spirit guides, angels or other entities. You may hear a voice outside your head, or a voice in what I call your “mind’s ear.” You may hear words as if they’re coming in on a radio. You may hear music. If you are strongly clairaudient, you will have especially good luck with channeled writing.
3. Clairsentience, the art of psychic feeling. If you can feel the energy in a room or in a crowd, or if you can sense the “vibe”, you’re clairsentient. You may take the energy of others into your body, either absorbing it or being affected by it. If you “just know” stuff, that’s another core ability of clairsentients—you don’t know why, you don’t see it or hear it from another source, you “just know.” This deep knowing is amazingly accurate, and not to be messed with! If you are clairsentient, you receive through emotion and physical feeling.
4. Channeling. Channels move aside to allow themselves to be spoken through or communicated through by other entities. For example, I am channel who receives via channeled writing from a spirit guide named Constance, and others. Esther Hicks is a channel who receives in spoken voice from an entity known as Abraham. If you’re a channel, chances are good you already know it.
5. Mediumship. Mediums have the ability to communicate with deceased people and spirits. Most mediums have had this ability since a very young age, but some may develop it later.
6. Remote viewing is similar to clairvoyance, but more specific. You are able to see a specific object that is hidden, far away or secret—you can see it clearly, describe it fully, © 2009 Sara Wiseman, www.sarawiseman.com. All rights reserved.

and so forth. If you can do remote viewing, you can probably get a great job with a detective agency or a classified department in the government!
7. Astral projection. People who astral project are able to move their spirit or energy to different places, while their bodies stay put. It’s not the same as dreaming, because it’s done consciously. For example, if I astral project to a place, I’ll be able to see fully the environment, buildings, go inside buildings, look clearly at things in and around the room, etc. Astral projection can also be done on the plane of time, rather than just space (past, future, etc). I believe this ability is related to past life regression (seeing your past life) or precognition (seeing the future).
8. Energy healing All psychics are energy workers. They understand how to work with and use energy, especially for clearing, releasing, manifesting and healing. If you are an energetic healer, you will be able to sense energy in another person’s body. You may be able to tell if they are sick, and where (medical intuition). You may be able to use your hands or your mind to clear someone’s energy, or to heal them. Your hands may get hot and twitchy when you feel like you are ready to heal. You may have physical reactions such as shuddering, body temperature changes and more.
9. Spiritual knowing. Some folks have a deep, innate spirituality that they haven’t learned, they haven’t been taught—it just “is” for them. Many of these are our great masters and teachers, our saints and holy beings.
10. More to come! We don’t know everything. We’re evolving as beings. Our children, especially, are showing a huge amount of new psychic development. If you’re experiencing something that’s not on this list, I’d love to hear about it. © 2009 Sara Wiseman, www.sarawiseman.com. All rights reserved.

You may find you have strong abilities in one area at first, and once you learn how to use those abilities, you may begin to “open”, and soon have abilities in many areas. Sometimes, this can happen very fast! Fast or slow, it can be a process that is very exciting, sometimes confusing, and may shake you to your core.
When my book WRITING THE DIVINE: HOW TO USE CHANNELING FOR SOUL GROWTH & HEALING is available (you’ll find it on Amazon and in bookstores in November 2009), you can learn the “how tos” for most of these skills above, along with how to do channeled writing. Until then, I am thrilled that you are embarking on this path of psychic development and soul growth. It will change your life—and it will change the world.
