Why Talking to Yourself Might Help You Be Psychic

Created by Pauline in Canva

The thing is, one of the early exercises to do on the road to becoming a psychic channel like I am is to talk to your inner self. Mine doesn’t sound much different from what I do, except in the days when she was talking smack about my writing. Then she was more like a snarky 8th-grader I knew all those many years ago.

I didn’t actually know I was talking to myself, but it was true. I had one boss who complained about it, and another one asked why I talked to the computer. Doesn’t everybody? I talk to my cats and my birds all the time. Why not the toaster oven?

Anyway, here’s how you can hear what your inner self has to say.

Get a piece of paper and draw a line down the center of it. On the left side, your side, you write something that you believe about yourself. What I wrote was, “I am a writer”. Now, you are quiet, and the next turn belongs to your inner self. They can write whatever they want in the other column. My inner self surprised the heck out of me and wrote, “You couldn’t write your way out of a paper bag.” Even in my most disparaging moments concerning my own writing, I would never write something like that.

And, so the exercise goes, until with your back and forth Do-Si-Do with your inner self, you and she or he reach the bottom of the page. If the matter is not solved, you move onto another piece of paper.

This might be the first time you ever even realized you had an inner self, and it is your first step into exploring the world around you.

It’s sort of like dust. So, everybody knows what dust is. Dust is dust. It gets on things. It settles in from the air. For all I know, it’s got sloughed-off skin cells too, but I’m not really sure about that. It was a thought I had just now, and seemed gross enough to enthrall any 14-year-olds reading this. Oh, you’re 35? Forgive me.

So, what do you do about dust? You probably clean it. I, however, do not believe in cleaning anymore, and years ago I began blowing the dust around. It was better when I got one of those canned air containers you use to blow out your keyboard or the inside of your computer. We once had a spider nesting in mine. I blew her the hell and back out of my computer, but that was before I was more enlightened. Now? I’d still blow her out, but I might talk to her first.

I sort of forgot why I was writing about dust and had to back up a couple of paragraphs to realize I was talking about becoming aware of your inner self.

Anyway, if you were to put dust under a microscope, it would have a face. I suppose that’s what they refer to as dust mites. What I am saying is that a closer look at dust or anything is going to surprise you. Your inner self might surprise you, too.

I suppose your inner self might be considered your soul. Sort of like a boss in hiding. A boss you never knew about. The boss who does not cry with you when you fall down, but is there to help you up again to try again.

You might have even heard other people talking about your inner self, which will help to familiarize yourself with the whole idea.

Here’s something else you could try. Try talking to your inner self rather than the argument that will surely ensue with that experiment I was talking about before, which is something Julia Cameron suggests in “The Artist’s Way”.

I’m going to try it with my own inner self.

Hi.

Hi yourself.

What are you doing?

Same as you. Watching you have diarrhea again.

You’re not well-mannered, are you?

Neither are you.

I get your point. But I can be polite. Like if somebody I was talking to had a booger hanging off their nose, I don’t think I’d tell them, except for Dennis. We have a code. We’ve talked in initials for years. In that case, I would say, “Dennis, you have a B in your RN.” Then, because he’s losing his hearing the same as I am, I’d have to repeat it a couple of times, which might prove embarrassing if we were out in a public place.

I don’t think you need to concern yourself with that. That’s your trouble. You make up stress-filled situations where there is nothing.

Hey, he’s always got boogers hanging out of his nose.

So do you.

No, I don’t.

Yes, you do. At least your hair in your nostrils is going white, and the last time your friend saw a picture of you, she said so.

Well, you do have a point there. Maybe I should cut my nose hairs.

Short.

Right. Do you want to talk about something else?

No.

Okay, thank you, and I’m cutting this off.

Call on me anytime.

Thanks.

Okay, folks, that was me talking to my inner self. I think the next time I do battle somewhere, I’m calling her up to take over.

Your inner self might not be as vocal as mine was, but you never know.

At least knowing you’ve got an inner self is key to beginning to wonder about the rest of the universe. Like, most amazing to me was the fact that bad-guys can actually be good-guys. The jury is still out on that one for me, but it is something that I’ve taken under advisement.

Another thing is the idea that healing energy is everywhere, and sometimes, if you are able, you might be able to see it. From what I’ve been told and have witnessed a couple of times myself, energy might appear as tendrils of smoke rising. I saw some come out of my finger once. It was fascinating. I’ve been told that people can see auras. I’ve not had a whole lot of experience with that. The best I’ve gotten is a hazy grey fluffy cotton ball suit that sits on the outside of people. Like they are the Michelan man. Other people are able to tell where the healing energies are or where it hurts. Like you’d see a black spot in the fuzzy outside coat to indicate a sore neck.

The thing with psychics is you develop your own way of seeing. Mine is more auditory than visual. Probably why I don’t see auras or anything inside crystal balls, but others can. Same with reading the Tarot or a system like that. You practice and practice and begin to remember what the cards signify. Then, as you gain practice, you begin to see what they mean when you deal them upside down in what they call a reversed position. Then, as time goes on, you begin to see what happens when they appear in different places in the array. It’s a complicated system.

You might start simply with a yes-or-no system. Draw your own cards and label one 'yes' and the other 'no'. Then, throw in a maybe to mix it up a little bit.

What else could you have? Stop and go. Heal. Bake something. Write a letter. Sure, some activities. This is sounding more and more fun.

What you will be doing is communicating with your Spirit Guide. Everybody has one. Mine has always been smarter than my higher self. I sense laughing in the background. Sorry, psychic sensory blip on the radar.

So, the first step in learning how to be a psychic is to believe that it can happen. If you feel that you must be born with it, you are right. Everybody is. It’s either drummed out of you in early life, or you talk to imaginary people until you are 27 years old, and then learn that it is possible to learn how to be one. It’s undoubtedly cheaper than spending all your money on going to psychics, which I did for a while. That was my primary motivator in learning how to do it myself.

I had no idea it was going to be so much fun.

Hey, thanks for reading. Explore the other places I’m at on the Internet. See you in the dreamtime. I publish here on a Sunday, Monday schedule.
