Develop Psychic Abilities, faster.

Let’s be clear, there are no shortcuts. However there are certain practices that can help you improve your Psychic and intuitive skills. I’m going to give you some pointers and hope you use them!

1. Ask friends to do photo readings of their relatives. What does that mean? Ask a trusted friend for a photo of a relative (living or deceased) and ask them if you can try to pick up traits about the person in the photo that you could not possibly know. For example, the persons favorite music, the color house they lived in, ailments, middle name and so on. Doing this with a trusted friend will help build confidence by verification. Your friend will be gentle with you when you are incorrect and should be able to verify the information about the person in the photo when you are correct.

2. Sit with a friend or relative. Ask them the name of someone they know (living or deceased) and see how many things you can pick up on someone based solely on a name. This is similar to the photo reading exercise but with less of a safety net. With no photo to aid you there is only you and the person you are sitting with. The person you are sitting with should pick a person they can verify information about. Write down everything that comes to mind, you never know what can be verified later.

In the photo below I told my client I saw her father in a brown suit with a yellow shirt. I did not have a photo to read, she sent this to me several days later. My handwriting from the reading is attached.

3. Sit down with a pen and paper, take a few deep breaths and let your mind go to ease. (I hope you’ve been meditating.) When you are quiet, begin to let information flow, what do you see, hear, smell or feel? Write everything down, no matter how silly or insignificant it may seem. After you are satisfied that you’ve written down enough go on with your day. Keep the paper with you that you’ve written on. During the next several days check off things you’ve written down on the paper. Mark them as significant, mundane or extraordinary. See how many times you come across something you wrote down that the odds of being there and happening are astronomical. I think you’ll be surprised at how much you pick up, even at first.

The key to these 3 exercises is to let go of your fears and insecurity. Once you tell yourself it’s ok to be wrong you will be ready to really grow your abilities.

Make sure you mediate and practice these three basic exercises often. The more you do them the more accurate you will become!

Let me know what you think of these exercises and leave a comment.

Psychic Armor

Let’s talk about beefing up your defenses, against the living and the dead.

If you are a human being chances are you are affected by a million types of energy every day. Some electronic, some solar, some human and some Spirit. It can be a huge drain on your mind, body and soul. I have seen the effects range from irritability to physical sickness manifest due to the bombardment of every day energy.

Let’s list some steps to help back off the human energy right down to the lowest vibrations out there, demons. Of course all things take practice so don’t go out there after trying these simple steps a few times and think you are going to be safe fighting the darkness alone. Stay safe, follow these steps and lead a better life with cleaner energy.

1. Meditate- You can’t identify your own energy and what is contaminating it without meditation. If you read this blog often you know I’m a meditation hound. I’ll beat this dead horse and its Spirit too. If you plan to separate foreign energy away from your own you’ll have to identify your energy first. This is done during meditation and becoming self aware. Once you know what’s yours and what isn’t move to step 2.

2. Salt shower/bath- Don’t underestimate how powerful the table salt can be. Used for centuries by almost every religion salt is the ultimate energy cleanser. Think about the energy that you want gone and lather up with your favorite body wash and a few tablespoons of salt. You can use table salt if you have it on hand or something fancier if you like. It all works about the same. Once you are so fresh so clean move to step 3!

3. Surround yourself- Get a photograph of yourself and surround it in your favorite color pen, marker, string or ribbon. Pick several colors to really bring on the protection! There is no wrong that can be done here, as you are surrounding yourself in color make sure to remember that this is a protection barrier! Nothing bad can come in and influence you in your bubble, only good positive vibes are allowed in. Set your intention and when things start to affect you remember to be aware of them, visualize your barrier and kick low vibrations to the curb!

Once you’ve done that you are all set! Easy right? Remember to repeat steps 1 and 2 often and keep your photo where you can see it. Change the colors up every so often and see what kinds of new experiences you have after!

I hope you enjoyed this little post, stay safe out there and remember to MEDITATE!

Seeing clearly with your meditation goggles.

“When I close my eyes I see places and faces, I’m unfamiliar with both but seem to have a connection with them.”

-Many people I speak with

I used to be surprised when I’d be doing a reading and people would clue me into their own natural ability to connect with Spirit or beyond. As far as I knew when I first started doing this there weren’t that many gifted Mediums or Psychics. How would I know otherwise? I laugh now because so many have stepped forward and told me. It makes sense to me, we all have a level of this gift one way or another. Are we all the best at it? Nope. I’m not a strong swimmer but I float pretty well. Can I become a better swimmer. Yup! With practice and coaching and a willingness to learn.

I am constantly learning and taking what I learn and bringing it here. One thing I’ve been learning alot about the last few months is how many people are thirsty for this knowledge. How can they improve, who can guide them? What are the “proper” steps to take? Wow, who knows! I personally have taken a little bit from everyone I’ve learned from and made it my own. I think that’s just human. What works for one doesn’t work for everyone. What is interesting is how many experience the same things when their Third Eye begins to open. Unfamiliar places and faces that seem to hold significance to them. That’s how it started for me and it was a cloudy unclear mess. Making sense of this gift is a bit of a burden at first, until the clarity comes. Then it is a true gift with many rewards.

If this is your first time here go back and start from the beginning or go from here. Nothing is changing. Opening your intuition begins withmeditations. Quiet your mind, create a comfortable place in your imagination to relax in. Place yourself at ease with breathing and grounding. Look back for tips on medications, mostly I recommend quiet music and a comfy spot to sit in for about 15 minutes.

Once you mediate and PRACTICE it for several days you will get better, your clarity will improve. It’s like swimming under water without goggles and then putting on a pair. You have seen shapes and colors but everything was out of focus. Now with your meditation goggles it’s all clear and you can see the vividness of the Spirit and all things around you.

Your intuition will guide you to what is important as long as you operate without hesitation or doubt. Clear your mind, breath, know yourself and become clear with practice.

I use this technique to speak with the deceased and to do psychic readings. There is no real secret except I practice and I believe what am experiencing. You do the same. Maybe easier said than done but I know you can do it!

Here is your intention. Write it down.

“I will see more clearly today than yesterday.”

I hope you are all doing well with your development! Questions? Please feel free to email me! Want to join my live Friday night videos on Facebook? Click any picture in the blog and it will take you there!

What is in this for YOU?

When I take my time and stop for a little bit I reflect heavily on what I’m doing and what is in it for me. What am I gaining from giving away the information I’ve learned about Mediumship, Psychic gifts and all things “mystical?” Who is benefitting from this blog? Who am I really doing this for?

It’s a good question, one I’d like you to take a moment and ask yourself as well. I have been doing readings more and more steadily in the last few months and as a result my blog content has gone down, sorry about that. What has happened also though is I’m finding more and more people with gifts who need a place to start learning about them. Of course I direct them here and tell them to start reading from blog one and then think about how once they read through to the most current blog that they may be left hanging. I certainly don’t want to leave anyone hanging, especially if they are finding this site useful and easy to understand. With that said I will be picking up some new things to write about in regards to developing your own gifts. Now with that I ask “Who are you developing your gifts for and why?”

I started developing my own gifts pretty much out of instinct. I didn’t really have a motive other than I felt it needed to happen. Once I started to really dive in and understand who I was and how each of my own gifts worked I wanted to know more, not only did I want to know more but I wanted to test myself as myouruch as possible.

I started doing readings for friends and close family and it was a rush to say the least, when I would speak on behalf of a deceased person to the living. Describing an old apartment or fond memory they had, telling the living that the departed family member was alright and at peace became comforting to me. In the moment it was anyway, there was certainly a strain at home and there always will be. That’s with anything we dedicate time to, I want you to remember that for anything you apply yourself to. At first my wife thought it was a novelty or something I probably wouldn’t pursue too heavily, I have many interests and they all fizzle out and come back in waves.

Mediumship however never stopped being on my mind, it grew, like a small sapling into what is now a maturing tree. I consumed books and books, videos and podcasts and anything I could find for free on the Internet. Then something happened. I hit a wall. I grew as far as I felt I could. I kept reading the same things over and over, now what?

I decided I would take my perspective and knowledge and write a blog. Then the blog needed exposure so I started an Instagram and Facebook page for it. Then time went on, people booked me for readings and gave me glowing reviews, passed my cards along to family and friends. My Gift that was my passion grew into a small business. Well known people in the business of Psychics and Mediums have taken notice of me, even well known Paranormal Investigators ask my opinion on some of their cases. To say I’m humbled by all of that would be an understatement.

I recently became so overwhelmed with people asking for readings that I asked my wife to be the schedule keeper, a big step for me since I had been managing it myself for so long. Not only a big step for me though, a big one for her as well. Shellie, my wife takes care of our 2 young children, the house, the bills, the cooking and laundry and manages me now. My gift has turned into another job for someone else, thank goodness she took the position because I was drowning in schedule hell.

I write the blog for you. I want you to develop your gifts, whatever they may be. I want you to be as good as you can be with as much free information as you can get. That’s what I wanted for myself as well. I have that and so much more. Now, ask yourself “What is in this for YOU?”

What are you going to do with your gift once you have developed it into something that you can do on demand? Are you going to keep it to yourself? Are you going to tell friends? Will you make a business out of it? That’s all up to you. I just think about how I started doing this with no intention of being where I am and wonder what others are doing with the gift they have.

I’ll leave this session with this:

Do not have fear of the unknown. Embrace your Gifts, be positive and do this for you!

Best Intentions

Intention, what is yours? If you have been following me for any time at all you would know that my intention is to teach as much as possible without charging anybody for one blog session. As long as you’ve been coming to my website I have always said that I have been trying to provide a service that I wish was available to me. My question for you now is what are you doing to pay it forward to others? Have you taken some of my advice and gone to other people like us and spread the knowledge? Have you tried to reach out for others with your gift that you have been developing? Have you tried to do some readings for the best interest of other people?

If you have not yet I would like for you to take a minute and think about how you can do something nice for somebody else. The most important part of this is not thinking about what you’re going to do but actually just doing something. The best intentions sometimes go unfulfilled. Execution is 100% the end goal. If you have been writing nice things down in your book to do for other people but have not done one of them then you truly haven’t done anything yet at all. Today, the day that you are reading this I want you to take one thing and do it for somebody else. It doesn’t have to be psychic related it could just be buying someone a coffee, picking someone else’s kids up from school for them, doing the laundry or cooking dinner. The sky is the limit and the ball is in your court.

Parsinvestigations.com

Today’s the day that you are going to do something good for somebody else and you will not expect anything back in return. It is my belief that once you start doing good for other people the good that you will feel inside will motivate you to do more and once that feeling wells up inside of you enough the universe will take notice and start returning back to you what you have put out. Of course this is an old notion called karma but sometimes we need a real life day today example of how to get started. So today you were going to get started.

When you are done reading this please just hit the share button copy it and paste it to whatever social media you belong to and let’s get some really nice things going for everybody. Again I don’t make anything off of this except for the fact that I know I am trying to put the good out there in the universe for everybody to share in. I would love to see this shared so many times that you come back to me, and you all have great stories to tell me about all of the good that you have done for other people. Then you can tell your story about how you have been rewarded.

Blowing Smoke (sage)

Every time that I open up a new blog or go to a Facebook page where somebody is affected by something they think is a negative entity someone always suggests that they burn Sage to rid themselves of the being. It seems that it is the trend since all of the paranormal shows have shown it on television.

Have you ever come across this exact type of post before? If you are like me and read as much paranormal media as you can then I’m sure you have. Where did this idea come from that every entity is negative and should be gotten rid of with sage? I know that saging or smudging a house or area is an ancient ritual. However not every entity, ghost or whatever you want to call them is bad and needs to be gotten rid of.

I myself have used white sage many times to help calm the atmosphere of a location that was encountering negative paranormal happenings. However I have not found that this ritual will forever get rid of a spirit that does want to be there. Are all of these shows blowing smoke? What is the real answer for moving on a spirit that we no longer want in our space?

Let’s take a look at why we would not want a spirit or entity in our space. For one reason it may be very disruptive to our everyday lives, such as banging knocking or being all-around frightening which we would call a haunting. Maybe the spirit is making you feel uncomfortable in other ways, such as making you feel watched or depressed and or anxious. These are great reasons to want to have a spirit evacuate your area. Before we get into good ways to have the spirit exit your life let’s talk about why they may be there in the first place.

Through many investigations and speaking with many different Spirits I have found that the things they do that frighten us or haunt us are often ways that they try to get our attention. Many times it just feels frightening to us because the events that are occurring around us are not expected. If a spirit were to yell in your ear right now you would probably jump out of your skin, but maybe they are screaming in your ear because they have been trying for months to get your attention for help. How can you help them? Well first you have to learn to listen or find somebody who knows how to listen to them. Obviously this day in age you can go on the internet and look for your local psychic medium or a paranormal group to help you out. Hopefully if you have been reading my blog then you have figured out how to listen to them for yourselves.

Unlike an unwanted pests or bug infestation in your home these paranormal beings have a want or a need and should be listened to. If after you have done a thorough investigation it leads you to believe that this is a negative entity then you should contact the proper people to help you move them on. I think it is in everyone’s best interest however to take the time to find out what they want, more than likely they are good or at least malevolent and are just looking for help.

Don’t let negative media and television guide your thoughts about the Paranormal. It is very important for you to come to conclusions yourself, and if you cannot come to the conclusion again it is important to find a reputable team or person that can help you.

Next time you see a post about someone being afraid in their home or area and someone suggest they Sage it to rid the space of a ghost make sure you direct them here and tell them it is important to listen to what the entity has to say.

I hope you have gained a little inside from this and realize that we should not be blowing smoke at each other.

Voice Recorders and EVP

PARANORMAL CORNER

VOICE RECORDER AND EVP!

Hey there! Welcome to our second installment of Paranormal Corner, today I am writing about the Voice Recorder and capturing EVP’s. You have definitely seen recorders used if you watch any paranormal shows. It’s a small black or silver device that fits in your hand and simply records your voice during your investigation.

Lets start with the history of this and what it is used for. So, we start with the fact that years ago this little machine that fits in our hands used to be about 10 pounds and have to sit on a table with a separate microphone and two reels or spools of “tape” that recorded what was happening around it. The machine was expensive and so was the tape that you needed to recorded it, there was no enhancing what you recorded either, you got what you got unless you were an audio engineer. So imagine having to lug this machine around from room to room and having to set it up every time you were ready to record. I would say that you would have to be a dedicated investigator to do that, like Ed and Loraine Warran who you can look up and see lots of photos with them using that exact device.

Today the voice recording technology fits in your hand and can be run continuously for hours at a time without stopping. You can even take out your smart phone and use the application that it most likely came with to record during your investigations. I personally recommend against that if you can, mostly because cell phones send and receive information in such a way that it can give false results to other equipment around it, such as an EMF meter. In a pinch its ok though, if you are in a room and hearing a voice with no recorder break out that smart phone and start recording!

What kind of recorder is best for you? I would say that depends on how often you investigate and your budget. Our team uses a small array of different recorders and they all cost between forty and sixty dollars. Prior to me joining the team they had some expensive recorders, about two hundred dollars or so each and they got away from them due to difficult operation and the super sensitivity of the microphone being used. In paranormal investigations we use things that were intended for other purposes for capturing evidence of possible huntings. I would recommend that if you are a novice investigator get a less expensive recorder, they can be purchased online or in a store. I recommend Amazon.com they have quick shipping and lots of reviews for the products they sell. I will provide a link to the exact recorder that i prefer using.

When you start investigating it is important to use the right tool for the job! Of course we rely heavily on cameras because seeing is believing and evidence on video is almost irrefutable. Not every haunting though has claims of seeing apparitions or shadows or having objects move, sometimes people just experience hearing phenomenon. For that we would go into the situation with a voice recorder to try to capture an EVP, Electronic Voice phenomenon. EVP’s are believed to be a spirit communicating through speech that we can record on a digital or analog device. Going back to years ago an investigator would have to use the reel tapes and record and then rewind the tapes and go over it with headphones in complete silence. Now we have the luxury of digital, record, review and determine! Right on the spot!

That brings us to the next part of this little lesson. The different ways to implement our recorders. First and probably the most cumbersome way to use the recorders is to leave them in a room unattended and running throughout the investigation. This is not the best method, it leaves room for contamination and perhaps getting false evidence. If you have a small team and know that you will not have cross contamination this is an ok method. The second method is to have a recorder with you and activate it only while you are asking questions, this is called conducting an “EVP session.” This will cut down review time and also lets you immediately review it after asking several questions. This method is a great way to conduct this part of the investigation because you can hear potential answers to your questions and can help further your investigation along in real-time. Another way I recently heard someone suggest is to have a recorder for every room and label it with the date and room it is in. The recorder should stay in that room the entire investigation and it can be used and activated by anyone who is in that room. This is a good idea, it can help you keep organized after the investigation wraps up.

A little more advanced way to use the recorders for EVP sessions is to keep one rolling in the room you are in and have a second one that you can do immediate review on. This way you have twice as good a chance of capturing evidence and have a good back up if you capture something. Sometimes a voice is heard on one recorder and not another and I have even found that sometimes the voice at the same time has said two different things at the same time, this is a discussion for another time but I wanted to let you know that it is something that happens. Remember that if you only have one recorder that is ok, I understand that equipment is expensive and you need to build your inventory slowly.

We find that while using recorders, even the less expensive ones it is important to state out loud if you hear something because the recorder does pick it up. This goes for bodily functions as well, especially a hungry belly growling for a Big Mac. A rumble from your stomach can sound like an angry spirit on your recorder, even like people talking sometimes. Make sure that you say nice and loud for the recorder if your stomach rumbled. The next thing is that if you hear tapping, scraping or dragging you mention it. If you hear footsteps or anything that is not explainable around you say it out loud for the recorder, this will aid in your review in helping not wonder what you are hearing. The most important rule I find to follow is to make sure that you and your team do not whisper while talking, you do not want to hear your conversation in a whisper and think it is paranormal. This is important because many EVP’s are whispery and low, unless you get a really nice one.

This brings up classification of EVP recordings. It is pretty well accepted that their are three grades of EVP: Class A is completely audible and understandable and many times a direct response to something an investigator has asked or said. Class B a little scratchy and can be talking or an unexplained noise. Class c is an unexplained noise and generally is not that clear. Anything under C should be filed away and not forgotten. You may capture something better that sounds similar and it will be good to have something to compare it to.

Next is the review! After capturing your evidence it is important to do a slow a deliberate review. Make sure to use headphones, if you are reviewing on the spot it is ok to listen to the recording over the built-in speaker but this is usually not the best method as it sounds very scratchy. After capturing anything that you perceive as evidence you should mark the times you heard it at, write down what you think it is or what it is saying and then transfer the evidence to a computer for storage. After you have done that bring your evidence to someone else and give them the times of the evidence without telling them what you think you have heard. Let them come to a conclusion and tell you what they think they have heard and then compare notes.

That’s it! I hope you enjoyed this little lesson and can put it to use on your next or first investigation!
