Altered States of Inner Mind

Altered States of Inner Mind
By Barbara Garcia

Altered states of consciousness are known to be induced through hypnosis, ecstasy, meditation, trance and other circumstances that produce euphoria. These sublime states stimulate visions and messages of profound significance through magnificent writings and works of art as found in the works of Shakespeare or Bach.

Without falling into a category of superstition, altered states of consciousness may actually be a part of the human condition. Accessing information in this reservoir of greater knowledge may also stimulate our greater intentions.

Serious documented studies in altered states of consciousness began in the early 1970s at the Monroe Laboratories. These early pioneers took on tedious assignments in design experiments that resulted in the development of technology for creating specific altered states.

There are essentially four states brain wave activity that have been scientifically studied- beta, alpha, theta and delta. Our alert waking states is the beta function and is measured at 20 cycles per second. Lower brain wave frequency of approximately 15 cycles per second and lower take us into the alpha state; this is a right brain function. Theta and delta states are associated with sleep, although deep trance and meditative states of consciousness is accessible in theta. Intuition is a right brain activity and engaged through the alpha state.

Performance in altered states is noted by some of the world’s greatest minds such as the works of Albert Einstein who allocated deep relaxation of his mind. Interestingly, it is reported that he came up with his theory of relativity while sunbathing. Other great thinkers such as Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison employed similar relaxation techniques.

Mediums and psychics of varied sensitivity and expertise access information through the alpha and theta states at will. It is also common to hear authors and artist speak of a zone in which information flows through them as they work. They speak of it similar to explanations presented by trance mediums and psychics.

Sound wave technologies are a popular method of inducing altered states. Musical formulas that mask binaural beat frequencies in the four brain wave functions are a well- regarded approach to blissful states of harmonic brain and body function. Mechanical devices and instruments in EEG biofeedback are also available in support of altered state performance.

Visual experiences of a sunset, the repetitious sounds of the ocean or the rain drops on a window sill are hypnotic in nature and produce the same effects as mechanical devices.

Research and technologies serve as an opportunity to explore and develop control over the different regions of altered states for anyone. We also have available guided meditations that induce relaxation and deepening levels to enhance our overall healing and renewal abilities.

All of us hold within the power and resources to create or re-pattern our brainwaves to follow our intentions whether we use a mechanical device or the visual and sound disciplines of Mother Nature. These blissful states of awareness are proven to enhance the body’s natural healing abilities and take us even further into unprecedented states of higher mind and intention. We each have within the power to raise our personal energy levels to match those higher frequencies through the emotions we feel behind our thoughts and words.

Our desires and intentions for our life and the world manifest through altered states of our inner mind. Utopias of Camelot or Shangri-La are created and manifested through altered states of inner mind.

As we continue to develop and evolve through altered states of inner mind, we will one day be able to walk anywhere, speak to anyone, be in any state or country in complete safety.

Practical Psychokinesis

Practical Psychokinesis
By Barbara Garcia

There will always be a place for practical psychokinesis in our fast paced, high tech society that we have become so accustomed. The physical nature of psychokinesis is a manipulation of concentrated mental energy focused upon an inanimate object. Bending metals may not be a practical daily application but ‘warm forming’ is great for opening tightly sealed jars, doing a temporary fix for a leaky faucet, or turning those long stop lights green and a multitude of other jobs that take time or muscle to get done.

Back in the 1980’s, researcher, Jack Hauck began holding PK parties throughout the United States. The parties proved to millions of people that the ability to manipulate metals is within all of us. The mystery of metal bending began to dissolve as people in all walks of life began to explore this phenomenon. Those ground breaking experiments in psychokinesis research that were conducted in years past have launched us into a new frontier of psychokinetic possibilities today. Those of you who are advanced will be happy to know that new remote models are being explored. Imagine performing tasks at home while away at the office. Sounds fantastic doesn’t it!

If you are new to psychokinesis, it might be helpful to get the feel of the energy that you are capable of generating before delving into large tasks. Try this simple exercise for a minute or two.

• Put your hands together, palms facing each other about an inch apart. Focus your concentration upon the empty space. You will begin to feel (sense) energy between your palms. As you do, move them slowly apart about three inches and turn your hands as though you are holding an invisible ball. You will then notice the energy much stronger. If you have ever practiced the art of Tai Chi or Chi gung you will find a strong similarity.

Once you have attained a certain amount of control over the energy by moving your hands farther apart, you are ready to try warm forming. For this exercise you will need use a spoon or fork that you really don’t need in your silverware setting.

• Place the spoon between your thumb and index finger and slightly rub the then neck area of the stem while focusing your concentration on the metal softening. You will feel a slight sensation in your fingers and when this occurs, stop rubbing and with a flip of your finger the spoon will bend like putty.

Use warm forming in all those household tasks that involve metal. A leaky water pipe can be mended through warm forming but it is a temporary patch.

Other areas of practical psychokinesis can be developed with a few exercises such as making a toothpick spin in a glass of water. This has been a favorite among practitioners for years.

Select a six ounce glass and fill with water. Drop a toothpick on top. Collect your thoughts and mentally move the toothpick clockwise. Then try it counterclockwise. You can also try placing your hand about five or six inches above the glass and turn your hand clockwise or counterclockwise. The energy will build up and the toothpick spins.

By being creative and choosing small projects such as these, you will develop your ability and perform stronger, larger tasks that will save time and money. It is amazing how a few exercises can tap directly into the vast storehouse of energy that is buried deep within our minds.

On your next drive to the city, try moving your mind into the stop light and trigger the mechanism to change. You will be amazed at how well you do.

With each success you will notice a remarkable change in your attitude that increases your personal magnetism. You will also notice how easily you begin to work through challenges and how quickly you find solutions in your life situations.

Psychic Traveler

Psychic Traveler
By Barbara Garcia

Having the ability to project consciousness opens fascinating experiences in traveling around the world without leaving home. Explore the ancient pyramids of Egypt, discover the galaxies, or walk along beautiful beaches in remote locations. You may even exchange information with other psychic travelers along your journey.

For some people, psychic traveling is an out of body experience while others are in an out of body dream. Moving outside your body is also called Astral Projection. In whatever mode the traveler moves about the universe, one thing is for sure, the adventure is incredible.

In the beginning of any new form of learning, whether expanding the mind or learning to swim, the first experience may be a little scary. Once the initial fears are overcome, a whole new dimension to your life awaits. If you are squeamish at the idea of possibly floating in mid air or perhaps viewing your physical body from outside your body then psychic traveling may not be right for you. The worse case scenario for new psychic travelers is a quick return to your body like a jolt accompanied by a loud bang or flash or brilliant light.

If you are ready to try psychic traveling, I am happy to be your guide. The following instructions will get you started. I am suggesting that you begin your journey at bed time. When you are comfortable in your psychic travels, then go ahead and cast caution to the wind, travel any where at any time of the day or night. (Don’t be surprised to see me traveling along side of you).

All Aboard:

1. Get yourself comfortable. Lay on your back with your arms and palms at your side. Begin relaxing your body starting with the toes all the way up to your neck and face muscles. Your body will feel heavier and heavier.

2. Focus your concentration on your breathing. The slow rhythmic motion of deep breathing will relax you further into a deep altered state of mind while alert. Focus your thoughts on the center of your forehead.

3. Now visualize in your mind, your duplicate (spirit) in images of sunlight, light as feathers floating upwards. You now feel two sensations; one is of your physical body, heavy like a lump of clay. The other sensation is of the weightlessness and freedom of your spirit. Your eyes remain closed, yet you are aware of the room around you. Notice the color, it may seem as though there is a purple hue in the darkness. Now focus your attention on the center of the ceiling.

4. Visualize in your mind the center of the ceiling drawing closer to you and as you do this, you are aware of floating in your spirit body. You may even see your body lying peacefully below you on your bed.

5. Move upward through the ceiling and out into the world, visit friends or locations. You will return when you are ready with just a simple thought of returning.

Have a wonderful trip!

One Way Street

Everyone has the freedom of choice in the area of extra sensory perception, whether or not to use it professionally or personally. The psychic lifestyle is one of mobility, a clean and livable environment that includes the personal freedom to explore the world, the afterlife, time travel, themselves and those around them. Successful psychic lifestyles are not just for an elite few, they are available to anyone who has a desire to achieve through their own psychic talents and gifts.

It is through accepting and developing our sixth sense that transformations of thought and consciousness change our lives. However, once we begin to use our sixth sense, there is no turning back; the psychic function continues to evolve on a one way street. When our reactions to life events are perceived through the sixth sense so are the solutions. The nature and quality of life then follows with a powerful psychic charge that ignites positive change.

Psychic Empowerment equates to rich rewards; manage troubled situations easily and effortlessly, flow through busy schedules with a subtle, precise charm. It will appear that luck seems to surround every circumstance of life miraculously. A psychic lifestyle is not a coincidence or something by accident, it is created.

There are several spheres of illumination that the psychic apprentice will experience as each skill is mastered and controlled. Each of these spheres hold lessons that the psychic will follow and intuit as road signs such as a trend, shift or a flow of energy to see where it leads. Some of these lessons move the awareness to higher levels of intuition while others tend to educate and expand our consciousness, for example; it is possible to perceive information at a classroom, school, or university through remote viewing.

Mind over matter is a fascinating subject in which the developing psychic will discern in life experiences that highlight psychokinesis. The quality and content of these experiences are key advantages in every facet of life.

The implications of a one way street to psychic success are clear. The only stop sign on this street is the one you create but it is only a rest stop. What are next on the horizon of psychic development are multiple degrees of dimensional hemispheres yet to be explored.

There are many schools in metaphysics to choose that offer psychic development. Private, individual classes and training is also available through psychic teachers who are there to aid and coach students in person as well as online participation.

Investigative Psychic Interviews

Investigative Psychic Interviews
By Barbara Garcia

Over the past few decades psychic people have proven to be a valuable resource in criminal investigations. Their seemingly magical ability to produce clues where none seems to be found is bound to be an investigators most revered tool. The majority of these psychic people are familiar with research and investigative techniques found in parapsychology and law enforcement departments and have become specialist in their field.

Retaining psychic professionals in criminal investigations may be cost effective and reliable in coming to the successful conclusion of your investigation; however, they are not recognized in court. Nor is the information that they provide recognized by our legal system. It is rare that an investigator is required to divulge the source of information that led him or her to vital clues at hand. The psychic on the other hand may relinquish payment for services rendered in exchange for documentation of their work.

In your initial investigative interview with a psychic consultant it may be rather difficult to remove your anxieties due to delving into unknown to you territories of the psychic mind. To help minimize the disruptive effects of anxiety, the following pointers are suggested to use as a guide.

• Items found at the scene of the crime or photos, and/or personal items of the victim are essential for a psychic to intuit information. It is important that these items have not been handled by other people on the case because the psychic will also intuit those handlers. For best results, keep each item sealed and separate from other items.

• Use the psychic impressions to obtain clues and provide further information on those you may have on file. Do not expect them to provide you with all the answers. Use your investigative skills to gather information from the psychic. For example, instruct the psychic to mentally go to the geographical location of the crime and reveal any and all information pertaining to the particular time and date of the crime. The information may be fragmented as though looking at pieces of a puzzle. Follow each lead with further inquiry.

• If you are conducting a psychic probe, it is important that each interview is conducted separately because psychics are known to receive and project telepathic information that may or may not pertain to the project at hand.

• Brief descriptions of the case should be provided along with the prominent items involved. Never divulge information regarding suspects until their psychic analysis is complete. I also urge those officers who have interacted with suspects be kept away from the psychics.

• It is also important to note that if the detectives who are involved with a particular case have a preconceived conclusion or idea, the psychic will simply intuit this information and it will have to be discarded.

• Be prepared that sometimes psychics may not follow your target questions but will provide the answers identified as such. Do not be disturbed if this should happen. Use the information in conjunction with the facts as an opportunity which is in need of corroboration.

It is vital that you do not prejudge the interview and expect specific responses from the psychic. It is often common that a psychic will continue receiving information long after the interview has ended. One of the most crucial steps in conducting an effective interview with a psychic is to explain your purpose and each step of the interview. Be respectful. This may seem obvious but too often has the task of gathering needed information from a psychic failed due to poor social skills of the investigator!

Following your initial session, follow up your leads in a logical order and report back to the psychic of their hits. Combine them and subdivide them into related questions for further interviews.

Investigators and researchers should continue to work their information on logical, scientific principles. A psychic will reach conclusions in a different manner. The combined talents of all those involved are the ingredients to success in the varied fields of investigation.

How to Consult a Psychic

How to Consult a Psychic
By Barbara Garcia

Consulting and 'interviewing' a psychic is the foundation of an excellent reading. A good presentation of strategic questions is the best way of understanding your complicated situation and seeing it from the psychic’s perspective.

Like a search on a computer, it is how you ask the question that produces the desired results. Have an open mind and don’t expect a structured context of illustrated predictive analysis. A psychic consultant receives fragments of vital information pertaining to the subject matter. It is up to you to dissect and utilize the information in your associations.

Here are my suggestions for a good psychic reading.

Preparation

Choose the right format. Most people prefer a face to face consultation. If out of the geographical location of your preferred psychic, a phone consultation serves well. If you live a great distance, you can inquire about an email consultation.

1. Face to face: If you have questions about particular people, have a photo, business card or something pertaining to the person in question available. Many psychics are capable of remote viewing a person with simply a name and location but it takes time and the information is limited. Have specific questions about the person ready. I like to present a general analysis of the person I am reading first and then go into their particular questions. In many circumstances, the initial general reading covers most of their questions. If you are contemplating business or legal ventures, bring in all related materials. Before predicting on specific questions I first troubleshoot the notes and records that are brought to my attention through a technique called Derma Optic Perception.

Record your reading. I personally have a habit of taking notes for my clients but suggest that people bring in their own recording device because note taking does not capture all the information that comes through. Nothing is worse than getting back from your psychic consultation and finding that you did not have your session recorded or accurately documented in notes.

Confirm the time and date in advance. I am always researching ways to offer clients a choice of consultation time slots to suit their needs and schedules due to everyday changes. I appreciate an email or phone reminder the day before your reading.

2. Phone Consultations: Your voice is the medium in which the psychic will use to lock on to your energy frequency. This form of psychic reading can be particularly efficient when you have sent the psychic a recent photo of yourself prior to your appointment. Also, a phone consultation cuts out travel time to and from the psychic’s place of business. Also, it is easier to find 20 or 30 minutes in your agenda but a face to face consultation requires at least an hour.

3. Email Consultations: With properly written questions, email readings are precise, specific and to the point. Most people think email readings are a bit unreliable in terms of depth and accuracy. This model does not work well for a conference. I personally use a remote viewing technique to conduct email readings and prefer a name and geographical location of my subject matter to be provided by my client.

During your consultation, psychic perceptions will flow rapidly with little encouragement. When this occurs, it is best to just listen. When the stream of information has slowed or stopped, go ahead and direct the psychic to your next question.

Psychics are just people like you. They do not enjoy being placed upon a pedestal nor do they prefer the category of weird or strange. Be as polite and courteous as you would like to be treated and you will have a wonderful, long term experience with the psychic of your choice.

Nutritional Support for the Psychic Mind

Nutritional Support for the Psychic Mind
By Barbara Garcia

Boost your extra sensory power with power foods.

Loss of energy is a common complaint among psychic people as they continually tap their 6th sense on a daily basis. The typical medium will grab a sweet after a session in an effort to regain loss energy. The high concentration levels that the average psychic use in their work requires a strong concentrated dose of brain food.

Throughout my years of psychic service in both field and laboratory settings I have discovered some vital nutritional aids that boost the extra sensory function and stabilize your energy levels. The following list of foods and juice are highly recommended for anyone who wants a little extra support.

• Wheatgrass Juice: The chlorophyll in wheatgrass juice is about 70 percent and is high in oxygen. Your brain functions at optimal levels in a highly oxygenated environment as well as all the organs of your body. It is a known detoxifier and improves your blood sugar levels.

You can purchase wheatgrass flats or grow your own. Your local health food store should have all the information you need. You will also need to invest in a wheatgrass juicer.

Juice bars usually list wheatgrass juice on their menu. A nice convenience for those on the go!

Recommendation: Add one to two ounces per day to your diet.

• Berries: Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cranberries, and strawberries are all high in brain-boosting benefits and are known to be antioxidant foods.

Recommendation: Keep at least one cup of fresh berries available for snacks between sessions with your clients.

• Avocados: Although avocados are a fatty fruit, it is a monounsaturated fat, which contributes to a healthy blood flow and that equates to a healthier brain.

Recommendation: ½ of an avocado per day will be beneficial and would not add to your weight concerns.

• Nuts and seeds: These are high calorie foods so if you are concerned with your weight don’t overdo them. They are considered high in Vitamin E which supports cognitive levels by reducing decline. Sunflower, sesame, and flax seeds, walnuts, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, almonds, filberts, cashews, and peanuts all provide beneficial mental nutrition.

Recommendation: I suggest an ounce or two per day to boost your extra sensory function.

• Beans: Our brain depends on glucose for fuel yet cannot store glucose. There are many varieties of beans that stabilize glucose levels. Beans also provide a continuous flow of vital energy, as well as healthy amounts of fiber for the body. Black beans, lima beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, and many others are wonderful additions to your diet. Adding to these benefits are foods in the legume family, peas and lentils.

Recommendation: ½ cup of beans and/or legumes to your lunch or dinner on a daily basis.

• Whole Grains: We have all heard how oatmeal, brown rice, and whole-grain breads support cardiovascular health and blood flow in the organ system. The brain is a part of that organ system.

Recommendation: ½ cup of either of these foods per day.

• Dark Chocolate: A delicious treat containing natural stimulants which enhance focus and concentration. It is also a powerful antioxidant and is know to stimulate the production of endorphins that help improve our mood. However, like seeds, nuts, and avocados, dark chocolate should be consumed in moderation.

Recommendation: ½ ounce per day

We all require extra energy in our work if we want to optimize the total integrity and functioning of our extra sensory function. We can obtain more energy through power foods that feed our brain. The above list of foods incorporated into your diet is also important to your overall health.

How to Master Manifesting

A master of manifesting knows the laws of attraction and how to allow synchronicity to lead them to their dreams. They follow a few basic principles that we will explore in this article.

The very first directive in any course of action in the art of manifesting is a relaxed mind that does not have any anxieties attached to the desire. A frazzled or scattered mind will produce synchronicities that are scattered or frazzled and lead you on a wild goose chase. The more you are relaxed and in touch with yourself, the easier it is to recognize the abundance of synchronicities that follow.

Synchronicities have a life of their own; you can not force them to occur! There is nothing in this physical world that allows you to manipulate or control a synchronistic event because their origins are not of the physical world. The appropriate declaration of your intent is to center your mind and stay in sync with your who you really are and your original intention. A master of manifesting allows the wellbeing and wholeness of self as a priority and maintains a rested, relaxed mind that is centered and clear.

The nature of synchronicity is to support our needs. They tend to bring what is needed at the perfect time we need them. The “rush” we feel when a synchronicity occurs propels us into a higher frequency of positive energy. This in turn supports the natural rhythm of the universe to provide the opportunities to fulfill our needs and wants.

Masters of manifesting also follow their intuition. If you are having trouble defining intuition versus your imagination then you are not truly centered in your mind. Everyone has had a hunch at one time or another, that feeling is your intuition.

Get on with your life while staying alert to synchronistic events throughout the course of your day. The more active and alert you are, the more abundant the synchronicities occur. If you were to stay pinned up in your home, no matter how peaceful and relaxing it may be, there will be fewer significant synchronicities. It has been noted by the masters that momentous synchronicity occurrences involve other people. To my knowledge, there hasn’t been a study as to why, but most people agree that the telepathic interaction that we all experience with one and other plays an important part in the synchronistic manifestation of our intentions.

When we engage the flow of our daily routines and schedules and go about the social activities of our lives with others, we are embracing and creating environments that nurture synchronicities to occur.

The cosmic dance in manifesting our dreams is one dance that the entire populace of the world is invited to join. It is just a matter of choice.

Give It a Rest

There is no doubt that extra sensory perception is a lifesaver in difficult life situations. But when the crisis is over and your 6th sense is still in overdrive, it is time to give it a rest. Intuiting everyday events and translating psychic messages all the time leads to list of various burn -out and fatigue problems. Nothing feels better than a breath of fresh air that is filled with soothing, nurturing, positive thought patterns. The best place to get it is in nature whether out in the country or in a city park or back yard.

If you want to open up your mind to the much needed rest that your 6th sense is demanding but you don’t or can’t want to get out into nature, consider investing into a small fountain to set on your desk or purchase several different sounds of nature in CD’s and listen throughout your home or office. Once you are surrounded by the sound of nature, sit back, relax, and go with the flow of deep relaxation and mental rejuvenation.

Credit to the busy psychic professional who knew early on in life of their ability and grew up in control of it. These people know first hand how important rest and relaxation is to the e.s.p. function. We are human beings not manufactured oracles that survive on batteries and electricity.

Everyone, including psychics want to look and feel our best. We spend tons of money on cosmetic treatments, we try to eat healthier and drink more water, and we try to exercise to keep our bodies as healthy as possible. But what about that part of mind that intuitive people live in? Without proper maintenance and upkeep, your intuitive senses will begin to break down with outside negative contamination.

Heavy populated areas such as malls, department stores, fast food marts, are a breeding ground for negativity, anger, and low entities. Although shifting your concentration to a nearby live potted plant or perhaps an aquarium helps for the moment, it is recommended that you give your psychic function a rest for a minimum of 5 days at least once a month.

There are so many hidden paranormal tasks that the average psychic person doesn’t include in his/her daily agenda that is added stress such as those uncontrollable urges to remote view your loved ones who live at a distance, or helping that uninvited spirit cross over, or extending your energy to block your nosey neighbor.

Natural color and texture are very good antidotes for psychic stress. Try visualizing a sunset for a solid 3 minutes, better yet, make a point to get outside and be a part of that sunset. Holding your cat or dog out on the front porch, watching the fire flies on warm summer evening does wonders for your sensitivity. Your pet may even get you in a roaring laugh with imagery details of their day.

Whether you are in the profession or not, extra sensory perception is like any other organ of the body that is susceptible to fatigue. Make a point to give it a rest.
