One of the main 'side effects' of becoming conscious is the transformation and changing out of personal habits.

Most of us have an unconscious habit or two that we'd like to change. As we become more aware of how our energy gets sucked into these programmed habits, we more easily shift our energy into doing things differently, and we change.

Daily habits are routines that are part of our lives, with varying degrees of awareness attached to them.

Do you sit still and simply listen, not so much to the many sounds and noises out in the world, but to the sounds within you?

If you meditate, you may already do this, simply because you take the time to sit still, to engage yourself in the art of listening.

Stillness is the first part of the art of listening, going within yourself to listen is the next. It’s a simple activity, one that will give you bountiful insights into the most valuable resource you have, namely yourself.

The word Psychic is traditionally defined as 'of or pertaining to, the human soul'.

A modern definition of psychic would add: 'being psychic means being sensitive to and aware of, energy'. Psychics read the energy of a person, place, event, or situation.

Being psychic is natural and human. Each human being possesses the ability to be psychic, though not everyone is aware of having it, or even wants it.

Energy is the stuff we are all made of. It's in everyone and everything.

Sometimes it doesn’t make sense.

It can’t be proven to anyone. It may not seem practical, but sometimes you can't ignore that feeling, that inner knowing. If you're trying to make sense of your instincts about something, you’ll miss the chance to receive the valuable information you’re receiving.

It may not be a pleasant feeling, like when someone is lying to you and you know it. Or perhaps a dream you had was so strong and real to you that you wanted to follow its message. It might be inconvenient – here you had all these plans so nicely drawn up, and something within you is telling you to change them, and that something is hard to ignore.
