How To Become A Clairvoyant

By Simon Pegg

Clairvoyance is considered to be a paranormal term that originated in the French language. In the French language the word 'clair' means 'clear' and 'voyance' translates to 'vision', so a 'voyant' would be known as a visionary. Therefore, 'clairvoyance' translates to 'clear vision' and a 'clairvoyant' would be known as an individual that is a 'clear visionary.' However, the literal translations are neither very helpful nor accurate.

Further complicating the definition is that the term 'clairvoyant' has been used to refer to different things over the years. 'Clairvoyant' gradually emerged as a term applying to someone who displayed a range of paranormal, or psychic, abilities. The only all-encompassing definition that really fits is that a clairvoyant is someone with the ability to know things about a location, object, person, or event by means others than the five physical senses. In other words, clairvoyance refers to a form of extra-sensory perception (ESP).

Clairvoyance normally involves a person with clairvoyant abilities knowing that something is taking place at that moment, but in a distant location that would be out of their normal range of physical senses. There have also been cases documented of various clairvoyants knowing about things that have happened either in the past or in the future. Due to this, clairvoyance is often considered by many people to be some sort of prophecy or precognition.

The methods by which the clairvoyant gathers the hidden information can vary, but they usually fall into one of six major categories. Clairvoyance is probably most associated with the first form. The first form is known as remote viewing. While remote viewing, the clairvoyant is able to see a person, event, object, or location that is hidden. This usually takes the form of a visual hallucination or seeing something from within their minds eye.

The next form of clairvoyance is called clairaudience. With clairaudience, the clairvoyant is able to gain the information about a remote event through sound. They are able to hear noises and voices that others and recording equipment are unable to. In cases where a clairvoyant hears the voices of the dead, this phenomenon crosses the line and enters into the mediumship.

The third type of clairvoyance is clairsentience. In clairsentience, the person gains knowledge though touch and feeling. In some cases this may take the form of feeling actual object that are not there. In other cases, it is more a feeling or 'vibe' that the clairvoyant feels from particular remote people, locations, or events.

The fourth type is clairalience. In clairalience, the person gains knowledge of remote locations and events through their sense of smell. For example, they may smell the grass and wildflowers of a spring meadow, followed by gunpowder and the tang of blood. Of course, no one else around can smell these things, and there is no apparent source for the various scents.

The next type of clairvoyance is clairgustance. With this type of clairvoyance, a person that has an empty mouth is able to distinctly taste different flavors even though there is no evident source. They may also be able to accurately describe the taste different things from a distance.

The sixth and final form of clairvoyance is claircognizance. This is perhaps the most hard to define or explain. In claircognizance, a person knows something about a remote person, object, location, or event, but can't explain how they gained that knowledge; they just know it. To some extent, claircognizance is a catch-all category of clairvoyance.

There have been many documented occurrences of people who are clairvoyant throughout history from different cultures around the globe. Instances of clairvoyance have also been incorporated into some of the world's most widespread religions.

In Buddhism for example, clairvoyance is considered of the six special senses humans are capable of at advanced levels of meditation. In this case, it refers to being able to feel vibrations put out by other people.

Among Catholics, clairvoyance is often considered miraculous. Over 500 hundred years ago, Saint Claire, a disciple of Saint Francis, had a vision in which she witnessed the death of Saint Francis, even though she was miles away at the time. Interestingly, the Catholic Church made Saint Claire the patron saint of television. 'Television' translates to 'seeing over a distance.'

There are, of course, many who are sceptical of clairvoyance. It is part of human nature for people to deny the existence of something just because they do not understand it. For example, even the existence of magnetism and electricity was denied by 'scientists' not that long ago historically.

No matter what the skeptics are saying, nobody has ever been able to completely disprove that clairvoyance is possible. In fact, there is plenty of evidence that shows that there are many genuine clairvoyants among us. In general, parapsychologists, scientists, and the public is starting to become more open minded and seem more ready to accept the fact that clairvoyance is very real.

Just because we don't understand how it works, there is no reason to deny its existence. It has been suggested that in the distant past, all humans used to be clairvoyant but for some reason lost their powers. It is thought that everybody could again become clairvoyant if they make the effort and choose to develop these powers.

Telepathic Communication - An Introduction

By Alex J Gould

Ninety percent of our brains are unused by humans. What that part of the brain is for remains undiscovered. The remaining ten percent is used to function in daily life.

What most of us aren't aware of is that we're all born with the innate ability to communicate with each other without having to speak a word out loud or even move a muscle physically.

We are taught from birth to not pursue our natural ability to send and receive telepathic messages.It would more than likely be considered "weird" or a sign of a mental problem if we did recognize this ability.

We involve ourselves with other things in life and forget about such nonsense until the day comes that we know something we should not and ponder for a short time only to push it further to the back of our mind again.

Is this forewarning a form of clairvoyance? Or did your mind simply receive a subconscious telepathic call from the person calling you?

Whether we realize it or not we already send and receive telepathic signals. It is possible to learn to do this deliberately whenever we want. It takes a little practice, but is well within the scope of our brains.

The natural ability to interact using telepathy is undeveloped in most people. It is not used or recognized as we go through day-to-day life. Most do not think they have this power or know how to use it. A person has to focus on contacting another for it to be effective.

According to scientists our thoughts have a certain frequency, somewhat like radio frequencies. This frequency can be measured. Directing these thoughts to a targeted area is the key to using your mind as a means of communication.

Here are some ways to help improve your telepathic abilities.

*Get relaxed - You need to put yourself into a trance like mode, this will allow your mind to receive messages that others are trying to send you or if you want to connect with someone. When your mind and body are relaxed you are open to send and receive telepathic messages.

If you're working on your telepathic ability alone then spend some time learning how to bring yourself into a trance state.

*Learn to focus - Find a place where you will not be disturbed, relax your mind and body. Picture the one you want to communicate with mentally. Send the message and assure yourself they are getting it. Don't make it a command just tell the person you would like to hear from them and think pleasing thoughts about them.

*Belief - You need to believe that the other person is receiving your message. Keep an open minded attitude as you learn to expand your telepathic focus.

*End Your Projection - Rather than let your mind trail off onto other things, simply withdraw your thoughts back into yourself and stop projecting. The reason for this is quite simple.

As soon as you are finished and withdraw your good feelings from the person, he or she will be prompted to contact you. This is because you cut off the communication and the person will no longer feel your presence. They will miss you more and take steps to reach out to you.

Practicing by yourself in this way will help you use your mind to develop your telepathic talents. There are also exercises for you to do with another person to advance your skills.

How to learn more by using two people

*Sender and Receiver - Decide which of you will be the message sender and which will be the receiver. For the purpose of this example, we'll assume you are the sender.

The receiver should have a pad and pen ready to jot down any impressions he might receive. If the sender is focusing on a simple object, the receiver might feel as though he's making things up at first, but insist that all impressions and thoughts are written down for later comparison.

*See it - Use some simple images to focus on and send to your receiver. Things like a yellow sun, grapes, or a triangle. It will be easy for you to concentrate on these simple things and project them to your receiver.

*Transmitting Your Message - Close your eyes and focus on establishing a communication thought-tube between you and the receiver. Picture it clearly in your mind's-eye as connecting the two of you.

Then place the object you want the receiver to see inside your mental communication tube and send it directly to him. Create your image as clearly as you can. If you choose to focus on a red, shiny apple, then make sure you follow your apple all the way to the end of the thought-tube.

The act of visualization is a powerful tool in allowing your mind to focus on getting your message across.

*End message - Stop sending when you have seen the object reach the receiver. Stop thinking about it, this is an important step as it lets the receiver see the image appear. He or she will also have time to write it all down

*Receiver - As with the sender, the receiver needs to relax and be as receptive as possible. He or she should also keep their mind open and record anything they perceive. He or she also needs to have good focus and a desire to see messages.

We all see have things flowing through or mind when we relax and are receptive to it. A receiver should write anything down that he or she sees, even if it is believed to be a random thought.

*Check the results - When the session is complete, see how well both of you done in sending and receiving images. Anyone will get some of them right as well have the ability to do this. It will take some training to do really well at it as a rule. A perfect score would be very unusual on the first try.

Remember, practice makes perfect!

ADHD Test - Overview

By Anne Durrell

Detecting ADHD is commonly done with an ADHD test. It has nothing to do with any blood test since ADHD is a mental disorder, not diagnosable through basic medical tests.

The Association of American Psychiatric

The Association of American Psychiatric or APA has made a list of fourteen behavioral checkpoints to test for ADHD. According to the APA checklist, a kid must show at least eight of the checkpoints to be diagnosed with ADHD.

Observation Test for Problems with ADHD Behavioral

There are a lot of kids who are misdiagnosed as having ADHD. One of the main logic that ADHD is often misdiagnosed is that identifying is purely observational as well as therefore subjective.

A doctor giving test may be less able to accept certain behavior than any other doctor would be and may say it as a trouble when other doctor would consider it normal. Because of this, ADHD testing is often done as a collaborative effort where teacher, parents and doctors all give their thoughts about a child's behavior.

It is also common for parents to believe their child has ADHD simply because they are with them often and common ADHD behaviors can be difficult to deal with. A child can only be considered to have a problem when they are displaying a symptom frequently on a regular basis.

ADHD Test Sample

Below are the examples of checklist items that would be found on a special ADHD test:

* Is not working to potential at school

* Substance abuse, learning troubles or family history of ADD or ADHD

* Easily unfocused

* Cannot concentrate to detail

* Plain writing

* Bad listening skills

* Always forget

* Troubles with learning things

* Appears restless

* Anxious behavior or nervous

* Cannot communicate well

* Controlling impulses problems

* Getting bored easily

* Speaks without thinking

* Impatient

* Makes careless mistakes

* Unorganized

Is ADD Genuine?

There is a disagreement about ADD is that it is not a real situations. By some means, a closer look at the signs will let you recognize that ADD is truly abnormal behavior.

There is no reason to refuse a child therapy that can very much improve their life just because of a principle that ADD is not factual. Medical studies has proved that ADD to be a real situations that needs serious treatment.

ADD Behaviors

The signs of ADD are often referred to as behaviors since ADD is a behavioral illness. True ADD only covers a single group of behaviors. ADHD, a related illness, covers two more groups.

* Cannot pay attention

* Lack of concentration

* Problem putting ideas into words

True For Me, But Not For You?

By Rich Bordner

"All religions, cultures, and lifestyles are equally valid."

If you've ever had a discussion on a moral issue or religion, chances are you've heard that phrase, or any one of its close cousins. The popular sentiment these days is that in the areas of morality, religion, and sometimes politics, everything is relative; there is no one point of view--or truth--that's true for everyone. There is no universal Truth (with a capital "T"). Rather, each culture or individual has its own "truth" (small "t"), and all religions, cultures, and morals are equally valid.

The popular sentiment continues: one shouldn't say other religions or morals are in error, just as it would be odd for me to say your choice of broccoli over beans is wrong. Sure, "my truth" can help me live a better life, but I shouldn't push it on others. I should be tolerant of others' beliefs.

Like I've already said, this is a very common way to think. Maybe you yourself believe this!

What should we think about this?

First, even if someone says he believes this, his whole life contradicts it. He might wax eloquent about how morality is relative, but the next moment he'll complain about someone cutting in line in front of him. If you listen carefully, you'll find even the most ardent relativist make strident moral judgments every day as if they apply to more people than just him.

Let's say you are at work, and you witness two co-workers arguing. The first, a white male, calls a black female co-worker some pretty hefty racial slurs, as well as some very explicit words for various female genitalia. The anger in his voice shows his intent. The female looks very hurt. Has he done anything wrong? Not wrong "for you," but just wrong. Does it change things if he is from another culture or country?

The answer, of course, is yes on the first question, and no on the second. Racism and misogyny are wrong, no matter who you are or where you are from. Period.

Moreover, the notion expressed is contradictory. It commits logical suicide. It's like saying, "I'm a vegetarian, pass the meat." Really, the person is saying that it's wrong to critique others' views, but merely by uttering that, she critiques others. Out of one side of her mouth, she says that there are no truths that applies to others, but out of the other side of her mouth she gives a truth that is supposed to apply to others: that it's wrong to critique others and that one should be tolerant.

This isn't something she thinks just applies to her; she thinks you should follow that rule as well. Here's how you can tease this out in a conversation (that I again borrow from Koukl):

"People have different beliefs, so you should be tolerant of them!"

"Do you believe that?"

"Yup."

"Then that's true for you, but why are you pushing it on me?"

You see? She says I shouldn't judge, but that very sentence is a judgment itself. Why else would the word "should" pop up?

Another example:

"There is no objective truth."

"Is that 'Truth' with a 'big' T, or 'little t'?"

She is in quite a pickle. If she answers no, then you can ignore her--it's just her "belief." But if she answers yes, then she her view commits suicide. She can't escape it; some things are really true, others really false. You know what? It's allright to point that out and say some are right and others are wrong, period. You can't get around it.

Top Schizophrenia Tips!

By Anne Durrell

Schizophrenia is an acute mental illness. It is very important for people suffering from Schizophrenia or who know someone suffering from it to know what Schizophrenia is.

Warning Signs

Symptoms of Schizophrenia disease can be different, but mostly Schizophrenia is easily recognized since the severity of the symptoms. Common warning signs include:

* Illusions

* Nightmares

* Weird behavior

* Long-winded speech

* Not have any motivation

* Decrease in overall cognitive function

* Not have any emotions

Very often people who are suffering from Schizophrenia and are not being treated will not be able to finish any job, communicate with people or even function correctly on a daily basis without any assistance.

Someone with schizophrenia will appear very abnormal and different from others. It is usually not difficult to recognize what is schizophrenia after it has reached full blow status.

Handling

The handling for Schizophrenia will be depended upon the symptoms as well as how they respond to different methods of therapy. Some methods Schizophrenia is treated include:

* Medication

* Education

* Healing

* Get treatment in the hospital

* Special therapy

Most people have troubles accepting therapy or working with other people to get through treatment. Because Schizophrenia never goes away, so it is very important for a person who has Schizophrenia to accept treatment and stick with it.

Some medication is given on a trial and error basis. So that it will take time to find out what works. And during this time of treatment, and another therapy may be important, too.

It can be very difficult for a person to adjust to how much their life changes once schizophrenia starts to present itself. Understanding what schizophrenia is can help a person and their loved ones understand how to get through life and deal with the condition.

People with Schizophrenia can really live a normal live as long as they can go through a careful therapy and work. There is no reason why people have to end up homeless, especially lost in their own mind.

Understanding What Dream Control Means

By David Heoung

Many of us think of our dreams as something which is largely beyond our control; they happen while we are asleep, after all and whether they are pleasant dreams or nightmares, we shrug and assume there is nothing to be done to direct the course of our dreams. However, it is entirely possible to have dream control thorough the technique known as lucid dreaming.

But, what does the term truly mean and how does it work, and what, if any, are the benefits, and is it really possible for anyone to achieve this means of making our nightly journeys into the world of dreaming our own continual series of fascinating adventures? Read on for the answers to these common questions about the art of dream control.

What Is Dream Control?

Dream control, using lucid dreaming, means that not only are you fully aware that you are dreaming, but that you're also able to control what happens during the dream. While totally asleep, you realize that what seems to be going on is actually a dream and you are solely in control of the events that play out as well as the final outcome.

For those suffering from frequent nightmares, this simple but powerful method may serve to be just the thing they need to finally enjoy a restful night's sleep.

Common Methods of Inducing Lucid Dreaming

Binaural audio is a very effective method of inducing lucid dreaming. Binaural audio consists of two slightly different frequencies simultaneously; this brings about the necessary state of relaxation and the synchronization of the brain waves needed for lucid dreaming to occur; namely, REM sleep.

Before the availability of binaural audio on CDs and DVS, the methods of choice for bringing about lucid dreaming were meditation and self-hypnosis; these are effective methods, but it can take a long time for people to master these techniques to the extent necessary to have lucid dreaming experiences at will.

Other than these methods, many others have been used by psychologists and sleep researchers. However the mind is trained to assert dream control, the object is the same; to enable the dreamer to realize that they are dreaming and to begin taking the reins of their dreams.

This training begins while you are still awake. The goal is to remember to perform some kind of cue which will remind us that we are dreaming; this allows dream control to begin.

This can be as simple as telling yourself that you will be dreaming and that you will do or say a certain thing in the dream; which will tell you that you are dreaming, setting off a state of lucid dreaming.

This method of learning dream control was developed by scientist Dr. Stephen LaBerge and is known as MILD (sort for mnemonic induction of lucid dreams). This technique can let you control the course of events in your dreams; you are only limited by your imagination!

A dream diary can also help you to get started with lucid dreaming. Immediately after you wake up, write down each and every detail that you remember from your dreams. After doing this for a while, you'll train your mind to remember your dreams; this is the first step to dream control and soon you'll start having lucid dreams!

You can beat back those nightmares, go anywhere, do anything and talk to anyone you want in these dreams. There are no limits except for your imagination to your dreams once you have mastered the techniques of dream control.

The experts say do that there is, however, one potential drawback to lucid dreaming, as much like anything in life, too much of a good thing can actually have the opposite effect. The main reason for this being that one of the most valuable aspects of dreaming 'naturally' is that it often tell us important things about ourselves that otherwise would have remained hidden forever. So enjoy dreaming lucidly. It really is an amazing experience, but remember to give yourself a few nights off!
