YOUR INTUITIVE

SELF

ROBIN J PSYCHIC
 “To touch the stars I must feel the Earth beneath my feet”

Everyone is intuitive doesn’t matter who you are we are all born
with a varying degree of intuitiveness. Often we hear of a wife say-
ing how she knew when her husband was in danger and though it
was only a feeling it turned out to be true. Mothers have the same
sense about their children. There are also moments in everyone’s
life when they have a inner knowing not to go in a certain direction
and how many of you have heard the phone ring and knew who was
on the other end?

Having intuitive abilities is like being able to tune into television

stations. The majority of people have those Rabbit Ear antennas that
look like a big V and sit on top of the televisions set, some though
have upgraded to cable so are able to get even more information and
then there are people like Psychics and Mediums who have the big
satellite dish and are able to get information beyond this world.
Whatever your intuitive abilities look like it is possible to increase
your ability to tune in.

I am not saying everyone can be a Medium or a Psychic because it

doesn’t work that way. Just like everyone is not born to be a Doctor
or a Lawyer or a Teacher not everyone’s purpose on that planet is to
pass on messages from beyond. But you can increase your ability to
hear your own guidance, you can learn how to shut the world of
noise out so things become clearer, you can reach a place of spirit
where it is possible to feel the presence of the Angels even if you do
not hear them at first, you can gain greater insight into a life situa-
tion and be able to make more informed decisions about what
pathway to chose. All these things are possible.
I am not an expert I can only share with you the knowledge I
have gathered throughout my own journey, the wisdom of my
guides, the Angels and the experiences shared by others on their
journey.
What you must do is take the knowledge that is given in this
workshop, build on it, add your own experiences to it, change
and adapt the material to suit who you are and ask others on the
same journey what has worked for them.
There is no right way or wrong
way there are only different ways and that is what makes this
world of ours great.
 Grounding

There are many ways to ground some as simple as walking in na-

ture or visualizing a connection with Mother Earth or simply read-
ing a book or working out in the garden. I have touched on this
subject in our other course ‘Finding the greatness within’ so I
won’t list the ways to ground again. But I will mention the symp-
toms of being ungrounded.
People are like electrical wires being charged by the energy in the
environment and as any good electrician will tell you if you over-
load a system with too much energy it will eventually explode.
That is why there is a wire specifically used to ground electrical
units. And we as humans are no different we need to find a way of
grounding ourselves so excess energy can be released.

Symptoms of being ungrounded

• Mind racing with a million thoughts
• Panic attacks
• Indecision
• The need to hurry
• Increased nervousness.
• Extremes in emotions

These are signs our body is starting to overload and we need to

take time to ground
ourselves. If you do not feel like you can achieve a feeling of be-
ing grounded on your own perhaps seeking a mentor to help you
may work or going to someone who is a legitimate Reiki healer
(Always double check credentials). Sometimes it is a case of giv-
ing yourself time to find what works for you having some pa-
tience for the process and making a
commitment to practice.
That is what the saying “To touch the stars we must feel the Earth
beneath our feet” means to be grounded in this world.
 No Mind ~ Meditation and the concept of letting go

Here I will share what my guides told me about the process of

meditation and letting go of thoughts.
I was told to close my eyes and visualize sitting in the middle of
a big Oak tree with those massive branches reaching to the
heavens and the strong thick roots reaching down into the earth.
Then after I could feel myself in the Oak tree these words came
to me.

‘To touch the stars you must feel the Earth’

The Owl sits and allows itself to be still
Thoughts are allowed to come and go without attachment
Only when our minds are quiet
Can we see that which is before us
Allow all thoughts to come and go do not hold onto them
As they will become attached to your subconscious ego
Breath in from the stars Release to the Earth
Let go breath feel the thoughts come and go
Allow the quiet to settle around you
It will take time

Eagle Feathers

In the beginning man survived by his senses to hunt to gather to

mate to survive
As these roles in man’s life became obsolete so did his reliance
on his senses
Close your eyes and you must see with the rest of your body
Hear the world move
Smell the world move
Feel the world move
The blind man sees that which you cannot
You must learn to see with your eyes closed
Sit close your eyes do not imagine the world around you for this
is an illusion of mind
See the world around you using the senses that you have ne-
glected

Eagle Feathers

Eagle Feathers makes a very good point about seeing with your
eyes closed. You will find most blind people have heightened
senses and a greater level of intuitiveness than people who can
see. Sitting with your eyes closed and trying to listen to the world
with your other senses decreases your reliance on sight (the vis-
ual). Some people after sitting for a while doing this actually find
themselves unaware of time and where they are some even enter
a meditative state. But the real beauty of heightened senses is the
world becomes a different place and you no longer rush unaware
of that which surrounds you. I personally would start with this
exercise of closing your eyes then move on to the traditional
Meditation.
For a lot of people meditation is defined as a state of not having
any thoughts but this is not the case. When I first started medi-
tating I was so worried about not thinking any thoughts that my
mind just filled with thoughts about not having thoughts!!!!
The trick is to let the thoughts come and go without being at-
tached to them. To think of any thoughts that enter as little
white clouds that you watch drift away. Eventually with
practice you will find less and less thoughts entering and your
mind will wander less…. keep in mind people who get to a
stage of pure non attachment in meditation usually
practice every day. There are no rules with meditating its what-
ever works for you if a CD of whales singing makes you at
peace then go for it, if nothing but a flickering candle makes the
world disappear again go for it, if you have to sit on a chair, sit
on a cushion, sit in a group whatever works for you. For me
when I am sitting drawing I go into a mini meditative state un-
aware of everything but what I am doing.

When I talk to my guides I sit with a single white candle no mu-

sic and a say a prayer then I close my eyes and drift I have
friends who use Buddhist chants again what ever works for you.
The goal in meditation is to have no goal or no expectations to
let go of any attachments and just be
There are no time limits start off small and build up to longer or
just do what feel right sometimes closing your eyes in the mid-
dle of a stressful day for five minutes can bring you back into
balance and peace within
Meditation is the way most Psychics, Mediums connect with
their Guides Angels or Higher Power.
If you find the process to frustrating find a group to meditate
with or see if there is anyone who runs guided meditations.
There are lots of groups who meet every month to
simply meditate for world peace.
Keep in mind you may not connect with anybody during your
meditations but do not let that put you off. Simply taking a mo-
ment to de-stress to find balance to bring calm into our life will
make your vision clearer and give you greater insight into your
life situations. You will become more in ‘tune’ with your sur-
roundings and the people around you
 No mind state

To be of no mind state is to be completely at one with the uni-

verse. This is not the same as when athletes say they are in the
“zone”, being in the zone is having total focus on one thing while
being of no mind state is having no focus on anything it is the
state of just being.
I am not a religious person in the church sense nor am I affiliated
with any religious organization but I to get across the point of no
mind it is useful to use a bible analogy.

When Jesus stated in the bible the words “I am” he was actually
referring to being in a no mind state being one with everything.
The Native Americans say the same thing “I am one with the trees
I am one with the animals I am one with the rocks etc.”
When you are of no mind state there are no reactions no emotions
no fears doubts you just are.
This is what my guides have to say about no mind

Without self there is nothing emptiness

I am
Without self we are one
I am
Without time there is nothing emptiness
I am
Without time we are one
I am
Close your eyes does your mind tell you what you do not see?
Close your eyes do your fears and emotions dictate what you
hear?
Close your eyes does your physical body determine the outcome
your mind decrees?
I am
I am not here not there
I am
I am not afraid or fearful
I am
I am not walking not talking
I am

Eagle feathers

Submitting to the I don’t know is the releasing of ego the freeing

of the soul it is the ultimate freedom. Only from emptiness can
your body be filled.

Portious

As a Psychic/Medium when I am with someone and I am tuned

in I am of no mind state.
The divine energy comes through me I speak the words I have an
awareness but I am not attaching anything to either what is being
said or the person I am with.
“I am”
The reason I mention this state of ‘no mind’ is because it is when
we are at our most intuitive and I might add peaceful.
It is the next rung of the ladder in meditation but it can also be
that moment when you are completely in the now just being.
The advantage of being of no mind state is that you can see
things with great clarity because there isn’t any B….S getting in
the road no emotional attachment to outcomes no judgments no
looking for agendas just what is.
 Why all these things are important?

Part of tuning in or bringing forth the gift of insight is being able to

let go of all the attachments we have.

Image a single Mother working full time trying to raise her chil-
dren the best she can. Then imagine her thoughts as solid objects
floating around her like small balls. There would be school meet-
ings in a little ball, work commitments in another one, maybe is-
sues
with a mother or ex-husband in another one, money worries in an-
other one and so on.
Now picture this woman with all those little balls rotating around
her like a mini hurricane do you think she is going to be able to see
anything with absolute objectivity and clarity? Do you think she
will be able to be at one with anything with all those balls
floating around her?
Probably not.
That is why concepts like no mind, non attachment, releasing ego,
meditation etc are important when it comes to being able to in-
creasing your intuitiveness.
You are not going to be able hear your inner voice unless you can
lessen the noise of the outside world and your ego self.
Ego self is that voice saying “How can you sit here meditating
when there is so much else to do”
 Your intuitive self

There are many articles on how to become more intuitive but most
focus on increasing your psychic abilities. But that is not solely
what being intuitive means.
Being intuitive is being able to recognize the person who walks
into your life and is not the healthiest person to have around.
Being intuitive is being able to step back in arguments and see all
sides objectively.
Being intuitive is having an awareness when the people you care
about are hurting.
Being intuitive is being able to hear the inner voice over the ego
voice.
Being intuitive is being able to hear that Angel voice that say “
not a good idea” or “ we are with you always”.
Being intuitive is being in tune with not only your own emotions
and feelings but those of the people around you.
Being intuitive is being able to make informed choices rather than
ones based on emotion and past ‘stuff’.
Ultimately these things are going to be more useful to you than
knowing who is on the other end of the telephone when it rings or
what card will be turned over next.
So what can you do to be more tuned in?
Try automatic writing. Light a candle say a prayer ask for guid-
ance ask for all things to come in unconditional love divine light
and for your highest good and write what ever comes into your
head. At the very least this will allow you to clear your mind of
thoughts and you may even start to tune into your inner voice.
Meditate. Find what works for you. Try and get into the habit of
meditating at a set time and day. But do not be anal about it. Even
a walk along the beach or around the neighborhood or a quite mo-
ment with a good book and a cup of tea are all forms of bringing
your body down into a peaceful state.
Let go and let God as they say. What this means is do not try and
change the world in a day. Change what you can change and accept
there are just some things you can’t change.
Let go of outcomes let go of expectations. Be at peace with who
you are and where you are in your life. Live in the moment do not
allow your ego self to take you into a future
that hasn’t even been created yet.
Learn about yourself who you are if you know yourself you have
no need to worry about what other people think about you or worry
about the future because you know what you want and where you
want to be and you are happy with all in your world as it is. Happy
and grateful.
Fill up your spiritual toolbox.
Go to classes. Join a group. Read up on things which interest you.
Find a mentor.
Learn different ways to meditate to tune in try a Reiki class etc.
The thing most people do not realize is everything is meant to be
simple. The higher power whoever and what ever you perceive
him/her/it to be did not set out to turn tuning in into an exam. That
was humans looking to set themselves up as ‘experts’ so they
could make a lot of money by saying listen to me ‘I know’.
I know people who talk to Angels and it is simply faith and belief
that allows them to do so. They are able to let the outside noise die
down and then they listen for the Angel Whisper and they are able
to do that simply because they believe it will come.
I hear my guides speak to me when I am with a person because I
am able to let go of ego mind and attachment and be of no mind.
Did it take a while to get to that stage absolutely
but it was not a complicated process but a simple one of persever-
ance, trust and commitment.
 Conclusion

To find your intuitive self you first have to get to know who you
are.
You have to find out what you want and where you want to be.
And in this process of finding out who you are you will let go of
all attachment to the past to old dreams lost hopes past hurts
grudges they will start to fall away and as they do you will start to
see with greater clarity you will start to hear a voice an inner
voice of spirit that is your heart song.
There are no party tricks when it comes to finding your intuitive
self. And all those exercises designed to “bring out the psychic in
you” are useless if you cannot be of a no mind state can’t sit in the
now, can’t have empathy for others and let your own stuff go.
I am a Medium and a Psychic but I still have to live and breathe in
the ‘real’ world still have stuff to deal with and again knowing
who is going to walk into the room next doesn’t help me very
much in the middle of an argument with my partner, doesn’t make
any money problems disappear, doesn’t take away an abusive
childhood.
What does help though is being able to step back and shut out the
noise and hear the voice of spirit. My guides and the Angels do
not give me answers but the help me gain clarity and balance.
If you want to find your intuitive self find out who you are why
you react certain ways why things are triggers for you what things
work to bring you into a state of peace. Nurture yourself in body
mind and spirit. That is what bring forth the gift of insight is.
It is bringing forth the knowledge of inner self and letting go of
ego self. it is knowing who we are at the core of our being.
Being psychic is great but that is only a small part of who I am
and knowing all the parts
that make me who I am is for me the true gift of insight.
