Thursday giveaway.. might be tricky but its FUN!

I thought I would do another reading giveaway that requires your psychic awareness and allow you to practice with your gift. I actually located this site by accident, and found it really cool. I tried it twice tonight. I am going to paste the information and want you guys to all try what it says and then in the comments section, I want you to tell me your experience. Whether it worked for you or not and how it made you feel after you found your results. This giveaway is for a reading with ELISABETH!

It's important to note that not everyone is visual by nature. There are three main modes of perceiving: visual, auditory and kinesthetic. Those who are visual learn best by seeing, and think with pictures in their minds. Those who are auditory learn best by hearing, and "talk" to themselves more in their minds. Those who are kinesthetic learn best by doing, and tend to get "gut" feelings and to process experiences physically through movement or attention to their physical sensations. Just as we all have five physical senses, we all perceive through all three modalities, but most of us have a primary or favored way of perceiving life.

As this article focuses on "visions," we're going to be working with visual perception. We can begin to "flex" our inner vision through some basic exercises. We'll begin by better seeing in our minds something in our physical experience. Pick a simple object like an orange, apple, banana, or even a book, a shoe, etc... Look around and grab something that "catches your eye." Now sit in front of the object and study it for a moment. Study its features, but then "step back" and just take it in as a whole. Now close your eyes and try to reproduce it mentally. Study it again, and then repeat the process of envisioning it within. Your inner vision should get crisper.

Now close your eyes and simply envision color. Begin with red, and work your way up the color spectrum. See a splash of pure red, then imagine two or three objects that are red, then go back to seeing only the color. Then move to orange, then yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Take your time and try to move toward a sense of ease as you visualize the colors and objects.

Now we're going to advance our inner vision skills by picturing someone we're presently close to. If you have children, you might pick your child's beloved face, but you can choose anyone you see on a daily basis, as long as it's someone whose face you know well. Close your eyes and try to recreate his or her visage in your mind. Spend as long as it takes until you get a crisp image. You'll find it easier if you try to remember a specific experience and picture that person as you saw them then.

Now pick a person in your mind who you were once very close to, but whom you haven't seen for several years. Again, pick someone whose face you once knew very well, and try to recreate his or her image in your mind. You're likely to find yourself in a memory to do this, and that is fine. Get a very crisp image, and then choose someone you've not seen since childhood, and again recreate a clear image in your mind of this person's face.

Now choose a person you're presently close to but who is at some distance from you. It may be your mother in a nearby city, a child at school, or even your sweetheart at work. Hold a vision of his or her face a moment, and then say to yourself, "Spirit, show me what they're doing." Then trust whatever pops into your mind. Remember that you're playing, experimenting and exercising here. Pay attention to what pops in, versus what your rational mind may reason out. For example, I just said, "Spirit, show me what my mother is doing," and I saw her reading in her bed. I then looked at the clock and thought it was too early for her to be in bed yet. There may be a tendency for you to want to guess first, and base what you see on that. Try to just allow images to pop up, and don't analyze them for now.

Now for me, I did this, I pictured my mother, she is about an hour drive from me. I saw her face (I am extremely visual) and then saw her immediately sitting in front of her computer. I can even tell you which way she was facing:) then I called her and asked her if she was sitting in front of her computer and she said yes. I told her about the site I was reading and wanted to try it, and so I called her to see if she was where I saw her to be. Figuring it could be a coincidence, I figured I would try with my sister. Again, I saw her face, and immediately I was seeing her sitting on the couch, her husband on her left, and she was facing the tv but was reading a book. So I called her and asked her if she was, and yes, she had been (she put the book down to answer the phone!)

So give it a try and post your experiences! Hopefully everyone had as much fun as I did! Everyone who enters is put into the draw. I will announced the winner on SUNDAY.

That was fun! Although I tend to have to many distractions in my home AND in my mind to stay focused. What I found interesting is that as I read things would pop into my head and then I would read the example given and it would usually be the same thing (apple, child, mom in another city). I am going to keep doing this exercise, in the very least maybe it can help me become more focused instead of my mind wanting to constantly switch gears. Thanks!!! :o)

It is very interesting in what I saw when I tried to visualize my mother, who is about 5 miles away. I saw her at the sink in her kitchen she was running water. So of course, I called and asked her 'What are you doing right now, exactly this second, what are yu doing or what were you doing before I called?" She was sitting on the couch watching tv and the phone rang so she got up to answer it. I told her about this exercise and she told me she was drinking water and her glass was empty so she was just about to get up and get a drink of water when the phone rang. Is that weird? Very fun! I am sooooo going to try that more often! :) Thanks!

This was very interesting. I can usually visualize things pretty well, but not in color. The best I can do is kind of sepia, like old pictures. I enjoyed it. I'm going to work on color visualizations.

WOW this was crazy!
I imagined my mom cooking this morning---and I called her to ask what she was doing and she told me she was just putting away the food she made and was about to call me to ask if she can come by and drop off some soup she made.

At first it was a very slow start. But then when I was going through the colors and objects my mind was racing. Even though I did not get a hold of my mom, I will this exercise before I call her again. Thanks
