Merry meet

I am trying to reestablish the the practice of meditation though must say I find it rather difficult to silent my thoughts, however with lots of effort I eventually get this right. Now my empathy is twice as effective and when people speak and I am unsure as to the nature of the conversation images 'appear' in my mind but it is things that they have not mentioned( not sure what this is called).Not to drift off topic then but how can my psychic powers grow even though I struggle to meditate.Any opinions anyone cares to share?

Apparently the two has nothing to do with each other... that is meditation and psychic abilities.  Sorry, I can't give any advice though.  :erm:

It could be that although you feel you are not doing so well in meditation, you are still connecting to the divine and thus your psychic abilities are opening, JMHO...

I agree, the two are most definately seperate, but one can sometime help with the other. I also struggle to quiet myself enough to meditate well, but my psychic abilities don't seem at all affected by my trouble with meditating.

Yeah, I also thought so, based on my own experiences... Re@P's posted a thread that explained how meditation actually lowers your energy and how that almost inhibits your psychic abilities to develop. 
That's the short and the sweet version, unless I got the whole thread wrong.

I still feel the two work together well, that's why I still do it together... I s'pose it's not wrong, as they say, there's many ways to skin a cat.  ;)

Meditation...is used to quiet the mind most often, and to attain some level of higher consciousness...

This imho is closely connected to ones psychic energies or powers for lack of better word as in order to focus one would actually have to quiet ones mind. In other words, the principles behind meditation are often used to initiate ones psychic abilities, unless one has a natural gift and the psychic ability is active most of the time.... ;)

I still think that meditation can help one's psychic abilities, but I really don't think its necessary for them. I had some abilities even before I started meditating.

EVERYONE has any and all psychic abilities but dont know how to 'trigger' them. ANYONE can do magick but doesnt know it yet  :biggrin:
Meditation opens those areas of the mind, triggers them, if you will and brings the latent, unused talents/powers/abilities to life.
Some people have triggered them by accident, like going into a 'dwaal' or 'trance' while plodding along on long walks, taking long drives or during those instances where you 'stare into space' and people ask you, "Where were you?" - all various forms of purposeful or acidental meditation that wittingly or unwittingly, open certain areas of the mind.
Some people are born with these areas already triggered.

Meditation can, and does, trigger the mind. Remember, thoughts are energy. You send out thoughts they will clash/meld with the energies around you. Meditation stills the mind, (or not, lol), and this allows the universal energies in and helps open the mind and the areas that 'control' supra-natural, (NOT a spelling mistake), abilities. If you are unable to still the mind but the attempts to do so are there, there is still a chance that just in the act of trying, the energies you send out will attract those same universal energies that 'trigger' psychic abilities.

Meditation is actually important in aiding/enhancing/opening psychic abilities.

My view on miditation is that it should become a part of the daily routine and incorporated into your lifestyle as routine.That way it becomes easy and enjoyable

I also struggle to meditate.  I don't know much about guides but I do use Sanskrit mantras.  Just got the Guru Gita.  Now I must just learn
a little more Sanskrit.

@Zephyr.  I have not meditated in a while, and I never had psychic episode before.  But now about two weeks ago I did a Tarot reading for
a friend and for the first time I had a vision while setting out my cards.  I have to admit I was a little freaked out, not being use to such things.  Is there any triggers that I can work on to help me along in this new found gift.
