The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I want to build my psychic abilities to better understand what the dead are telling me. If you have any advice, please, email me. I need this skill for my ghost hunting hobby. Also, what kind of stone or amulet can I wear for protection?

As far as a protection amulet or stone you can use anything that you cast a protection spell onto..I use my pentacle as my protection...
Now as for your abilities to better understand what the dead are telling you all I can offer is meditate and block everything else out...

i see things and have dreams about things that happen often and i would also like to hone in on this ability but at the same time, it kinda scares me to know. Do you get nervous at all when that stuff happens? but im going to check out some of the sites that were posted above me.

I recommend meditation. It helps you to focus and provides better access to the psychic part of you. Like people have said, it will take dedication and practice and time. I recommend "You are Psychic" by Debra Lynne Katz. Also start with tarot cards. They are an easy transition into it or at least they were for me.

The others have already given you the best advice to meditate....Thing is you just really need to concentrate and listen to them might not like what you hear.

oh yah. Just because you hear things doesn't mean its a good thing all the time.

Meditation and learning some of the age-old techniques will help you discern which is which and protect yourself.

Historically the two most universal symbols of amulets have been the eye and the phallic symbols. Eyes are thought to protect against evil spirits and are found on tombs, walls, utensils, and jewelry. The phallic symbol, represented by horns and hands, is protection against the evil eye.

I agree with all that meditation is the key to be able to calm the mind and body at will.

As far as protection the pentagram is very strong for that.As far as a stone I would say Limonite-included quartz used for clearing negativity,which is within the area,toward the light of transmutation.

Meditation , visualisation and strong personal will is important. Now are you doing this from an open channeler point a view, a necromantic practioner point of view or just a Raw talent. Crystal and hematite help with focus and direction of energy. Tigers eye helps with increasing or directing large amounts of personal energy . Ie protection

You need to find a way to center yourself. Perhaps by meditating or relaxing will help increase you control over your psychi abilities.

Everyone has been most helpful. There isn't much left to say, except if you want more information about spirits communicating, I would just do a web search. You would be surprised how much stuff you can find. Best of luck, and happy hunting!

I second what was said about the pentacle. I have one myself. A special one known as the Seal of Solomon that my girlfriend gave me. It works wonders. Try www.themagickalcat.com You might find help there.

I've read that you can wear/ or carry an amethyst crystal.... it's also good for sleep and nightmares.

well, for psychic abilities you just need to meditate often. if you want to contact the dead i have a good spell for you to contact them in dreams. it's on my profile in a scroll box if you wanna check it out. it's in the purple magic section.

I agree with delemonico in that you maust develope a shield and protection before opening up to outside influences. Until you are well protected do not use Ouija boards or anthing like them as them open you up to many unsavory entities. Check the following site out for an introduction into psychic attacks.

Ive actually heard its an intense task to build psychic abilities. I never approached it but its not supposed to be easy

Hera to be honest i have not had much experience in this subject, but wot i have heard if you can imagine your self wrapped in gold no spirit can enter ur body or harm you

Meditation is the key, both to hearing things more clearly and bringing down the amount of fear. I ususally prefer to delve into the spirit world when i'm at my happiest. i find that it lets me bond with good spirits and repel the bad. I'd start slow first though, unless you've got some good guidance. The spirit world can be a nasty place, especially when you start getting demons and evil spirits. They can screw you up bad, worst that can happen is getting possesed, or it attacking those who you love and hold dear. Keep it light, and don't go into it if you don't feel like it.

all meditation does is help you be more in tune with your current psychic abilities it doesn't build them. i don't know how to build them and apparently noone else here does either

Your Psychic Abilities are just like any other "muscle". You must exercise it frequently if you want it to be in tip-top shape. I am an empath and an energy eater (Psy Vamp). Therefore my ability is more of a pain most days as I can't switch it off. You should figure out what your strongest natural talent is (telepathy, telekinesis, etc.) Then exercise, concentrate, meditate, and build that talent first. Then you can use your natural talent to help build others. i.e. you are a natural telepath. You can touch others minds and thoughts briefly. Practice and focus on getting more and more into the mind of another. Pick one person, perferably someone with natural telepathic ability. That will help a lot. And when you can easily maintain contact and control with your "test"person, start trying it with two or three others. It is best to start with small groups, perferably those with some natural talent or those you are close to. It helps build the connection. But once you learn to reach out and slip in someone else's mind with comfort, you will be able to easily find the mind path to others. Hope this helps.

Hera there is a book called how to develop your psycic abilities thatyou can get at any book store like borders

im not quite sure about psychic abilities. im more trained in energy manipulation and auras. working with the living is my specialty. as for the dead. the dead are dead i have no interest for them.

Hey hun, check out this page, has a huge variety of amulets, shielding(IMPORTANT TO LEARN THIS) and other things u might need. I have several tips on shielding and protection on my page in my journel, click on"tips and help vampires" let me know if u need anything else.http://www.luckymojo.com/protectionspells.html

Also I was gonna tell ya, that building spiritual abilities or medium techniques, etc.Takes a long time hun, not to discourage you in anyway.Remember baby steps..all learning comes with the first step.And if u rush into something u know nothing about, u or someone else may get hurt.Just be careful.

anything you do to increase you're concentration will help you alot.

for the stone to wear that would be rose quartz. It is known as the stone of gentle love and gets rid of all negativity but does not absorb it. The stone is really good for keeping you safe by keeping anything bad away from you. It is also good for healing anything to do with the heart

You can use visualisation of yourself surounded by mirrors then after tranparent glass, you can then by creating a protection like that, you have to really feel it, completly as if you can touch it, that way you can let the spirits you seek in and push the ones you want away really fare and not able to reach you, unless you let it down, you have to really see it, and feel it,

I think something like that just comes naturally

MamaDog: I found your post very interesting from the respect of just where to start with all of this. I have often thought I do have the ability to build on my psychic abilities but it was just knowing how. Thankyou for your advise you do seem very knowlegable ,and welcome to Vampire Rave :)

well i dont know about the stone/ amulet part but i do know that we all have psychic abilities to some degree. ive been working on mine and what i do is record all of my dreams, get rest, and meditate. hope this helps.

Perhaps find a local mentor to help aid you in developing you skills...

Other than meditation, I strongly suggest a psychic workbook (10 or 15 dollars). These are great tools. The meditation is very clearing and insightful.

The best results for that are meditation, and listining to what your dreams tell you, because most of the times dreams tell us and warn us about things and we need to listen.

I think meeper is right. sometimes u need a mentor to help. i have many books on meditiation but i seem to have a hard head.. i can never clear my mind. i am also the type of person that needs guidance and if i think im not doing something right, i usually need for someone to tell me "its ok, ur doing it" u know what i mean?
