If you look for an effective way to develop your intuition or a good practice to enhance your psychic abilities, then why not trying to use your dreams. The dreaming state seems to be one of the most interesting, daily exercises when struggling to develop your intuition.
I am very glad that I share my knowledge with you. For the record; I have been taught those interesting exercises back to my short period of online tutoring on tarot and cartomancy. I have also been taught many other interesting stuff apart from card meanings which I already knew because I used to read the cards ever since I was 25 and now I am almost 36...So by the time that I have decided to get a certificate in cartomancy (on my 34) - I know how it sounds, but I am a passionate learner - I was just cruising on my lessons but that doesn't mean that I did not learn new things...
Back to our topic. Here's what you can do and I believe that it will work for you as it did for me too; first choose a certain subject or a certain person to dream of while trying to keep yourself awake. Actually, you must not fall into a deep sleeping state but rather being on something like in a lucid dreaming state of consciousness. The first part is easy.
After dreaming your favorite person or object or pet or whoever or whatever you may choose, simply get up and write down the images or the circumstances that you may have experienced on a notebook. I must admit that the second and also the last part is easy too...
Keeping a journal of dreams analysis is a very important factor for developing a better understanding of symbols because dreams contain a lot of symbolism and therefore deep meanings. Since you will be more connected with symbols, objects or subconscious messages in general, I believe that it will be much easier for you to connect and understand spiritual energies which surround you.
You may also use other types of fun, yet odd exercises.
For example, you can stand in a certain room - do this every day for as long as you wish - and try to sense or recognize the energy or the emotions that this energy creates for you and write down your impressions in your journal. keep in mind that your thoughts should be mindful - focused on the moment.
Use the same exercise with people who are close to you by keeping a journal (keep it in a very secret way...) and simply write down your emotions each time you connect with them in any way.
Are you a psychic reader of tarot cards or a cartomancy practitioner in general? Well, before starting those exercises, you must consider this: writing down what you sensibly consider by using your consciousness won’t help you at all in the process of your intuition’s development. Instead, you must only focus on cosmic energies and how they make you feel spiritually. So, if you really want this practice to work for you - keep you logic thoughts out of the table, as this process is not about solving a problem or creating a formula; it is about a spiritual connection.
Mike Yaconelli describes spirituality better than me;
"Spirituality is not a formula; it is not a test. It is a relationship. Spirituality is not about competency; it is about intimacy. Spirituality is not about perfection; it is about connection. The way of the spiritual life begins where we are now in the mess of our lives."
