Tips and Techniques

Decisions
Choices: Although there are a number of excellent quantitative and qualitative methods to assist in objectively deciding among choices, sometimes an intuitive approach is called for. Here are several that we have found useful--especially when other methods end in a tie. For best results you should have narrowed the alternatives down to two or three choices.
The Apple: Pretend that the alternatives are apples and describe them. What do they look like (color, size, firmness)? What do they taste like? Once you have described the two or three apples, decide which one you would pick to eat--that apple represents the choice that would be most satisfying to you.
The Path: Pretend that the alternatives are paths (especially useful when you are trying to decide a course of action) and describe them. How easy is the path to travel? How wide/smooth is it? What is the surrounding scenery like? Where does the path lead? What is it like along the way? Now look at which of those paths you would prefer to travel (and it may not be the easiest one)--that path represents the course of action that you would find most satisfying.
Fatigue
Alignment: " We are made of energy. When we are tired we are out of tune with the cosmic flow." If you find yourself tired all the time try this technique from THE WORLD TO COME by Ruth Montgomery . " Lay down prone on the bed , floor or even lounge chair. Now feel yourself slipping headfirst into the vortex of energy above, below, and and all around you. Feel yourself becoming part of it and drawing it in."


Psychic Awareness
Meditation: it is almost unanimously held that meditation is key in developing psychic awareness. Edgar Cayce suggests in his readings that we meditate at the same time every day.


Telepathy
Practice: Start with another person who is willing to provide you with feedback (or else you must have some independent means of checking your results). Set a definite time, and at that moment put down what you "sense" the other is doing. Check later to see what the person was actually doing (feedback is important!) -- what you pick up may not be literal, so it is important for you to learn to interpret your own symbols. But when you are starting out, do NOT try to interpret what you sense -- just record your literal impressions. Interpretation comes later. In reading no. 2533-7 Edgar Cayce recommends doing this for 20 days to develop "the key to telepathy."
