Your senses are extremely important in the development of your psychic or intuitive powers. They are also important to your ability to detect paranormal activity, and your ability to participate in spiritual practices that develop a greater receptiveness to supernatural phenomena. An archangel or enlightened master could appear at the foot of your bed in the middle of the night and exude an exotic incense aroma as he or she draws near. If you have been attentive to various scents in the months, weeks, or days preceding the nighttime visitation (and perhaps also burning incense, meditating, praying, walking in nature, or summoning angels or others from the higher celestial realms), you may in fact be getting what you asked for. If you awaken to the scent, you might move toward the spot where the scent seems to be emanating, and discover that shifting your head to the left or right a few degrees means you can no longer detect the scent; moving back, you rediscover it. This type of scenario of an angel visitation is not unusual when you have fine-tuned your sense of smell. But such a visitation could also manifest as a being of light, or soft and repeated brushes against your skin, or other unusual physical sensations.
There are numerous techniques to develop your receptivity to psychic phenomena. One way is to use breath and visualization techniques combined with meditation.
A Meditation On Light And Peace
When doing any of the meditations throughout this book, it’s a good idea to record the session. Then you can easily let go to experience the meditation, versus opening and closing your eyes to read the next step. This will enhance your meditation and allow you to go deeper into the experience. Take your time recording, and remember to pause between each step.
Find a quiet place to sit where you will not be disturbed. You can do this meditation in silence, or play soft meditative music in the background.
• Get as comfortable as you can, and close your eyes.
• Inhale deeply, and with the exhalation, let go of every concern or negative thought.
• Take another deep breath, and release all the tension in your body.
• Now breathe into the present moment, and just let go.
• Form an intention in your thoughts to have the angels come and surround you in a circle of light and protection.
• Imagine the room filled with divine white light and energy.
• Breathe that divine light in and out.
• Affirm that your angels are present, encircling you.
• Remember you are never alone, and you are loved.
• Imagine the brilliance of the sun before you. This sun is the energy of the Divine and the Heavenly Host.
• Imagine that you have a plug in the region of your solar plexus (just like a lamp has a plug to connect to an electrical source), and you are plugged into that brilliant, spiritual sun.
• Inhale the energy and light from this sun into your body, and imagine every cell illuminated with the sun’s light.
• Imagine that you can then breathe the divine wisdom and guidance that you are searching for into your mind. The light illuminates your interior and exterior worlds.
• Feel enlightened, as if it were possible to merge with the divine mind as you merge with light and peace.
• Remain in the light of God. Be still. Feel at peace. Experience the love. It is yours and it always has been. (Pause.)
• Think of a question you would like answered by divine guidance, and ask it.
• Wait expectantly and patiently for the answer from the angels.
• Say thank you. To return, just take some nice deep breaths and begin to feel your body; feel yourself back in the room.
Remember, you can plug into this holy place of divine light and guidance any time you choose. Each and every time you do, you reconnect with the divine wisdom and healing that’s rightfully yours.
