How to Successfully Run Your Own Psychic CircleThere's no doubt about it: a psychic circle is the most supportive and traditional way to develop your psychic and spiritual abilities. A psychic development circle consists of at least 2 and usually up to 10 people who meet every week at the same time for psychic development. The main reason development groups tend to be in the same place and time each week is partly for convenience, but it does also encourage everyone in the group to make the commitment in their busy lives to those in Spirit, who kindly agree to meet us during our development meditations and help us to extend our abilities. If you wish to develop psychic powers and mediumistic talents, it is highly advisable that you organise a small group of like-minded individuals to form a psychic circle. You will find that if you take the initiative to do this, your abilities will develop at a faster rate and you will also have the wonderful opportunity of supporting your friends as they also draw closer to the Spirit world. If there is not a psychic circle in your local area, you might consider forming one. If you do this, please try to engage the services of an experienced medium who has walked this path before you. This will make the process so much more enjoyable for you all and help to short-cut your way around some of the most common pitfalls associated with development circles. How to Run a Successful Psychic Circle If you feel destined to form your own development circle, please ask now for those in Spirit to help you. Also ask Spirit to direct the right people into your new group, because it is essential that you maintain the same people in the group week-in, week-out, in order to build the energy of the psychic circle and create a vibrant positive atmosphere. It is likewise crucial that the spirit of harmony and positivity pervades every meeting you hold. If any person insists on dominating the group meetings, this will disrupt the sensitive balance of personalities and upset the feeling of love that ensures that every person in the group feels supported and nurtured by their psychic circle of friends. As long as you assemble 2-10 positive-minded people who share your goal of meeting for a couple of hours each week to develop psychic and spiritual abilities, you have already travelled a long way towards forming a successful circle. Psychic circles usually meet in a member's home (the same place each week) where disruptions are minimised and all members feel comfortable and eager to build on the previous week's development. The usual format for a psychic development circle is as follows: 1. Everyone meets at the same time and place each week and ideally this commitment should be made for at least 6 months. Only in exceptional circumstances should these meetings be missed; and they should be treated as sacred events in the lives of all members. If you are running quite late to your weekly meeting, please do not enter the group as you will disturb the energy that has already built up in the psychic circle during the evening. While it is not essential that you all meet at night, psychic circles tend to be run in the evening as this is when most people are able to commit to a set time every week. 2. Do not eat for at least an hour before the meeting; and certainly do not imbibe alcohol before or during the meeting as this will greatly distort your connections with Spirit. When you meditate on a full stomach, it takes longer to reach the alpha mental state of psychic awareness, and with a full tummy you are more likely to get drowsy during the meeting! 3. When all members are present, sit in a circle with your spine upright and close your eyes. The leader of the group should direct everyone to focus for a few minutes on their breathing, raising everyone's consciousness from everyday events to the higher spiritual planes of thought. 4. If all members are comfortable with singing, sometimes a spiritual or peaceful song is sung at this point in order to build the feeling of community and love in the room, but this singing exercise is optional. 5. The leader then opens with a prayer such as: "Dear God and all helpers in the Spirit world, please draw close to us now and help us to raise our thoughts to your Home in Spirit where we learn to view our life with greater perspective and understanding. Help our psychic awareness to unfold during this time together and to grow more confident that you are always with us, guiding us and inspiring our spiritual development. "We also ask that if anyone on the Other Side wishes to draw closer tonight and relay a message through one of us, that we will perceive these messages clearly and communicate them accurately; and please help us to support one another as much as possible at this time of psychic development. For all these generous gifts and blessings we thank you." 6. The leader now directs the group in a relaxation meditation, such as the opening chakra meditation provided here. 7. While there are many ways to continue your meeting, the most common path to follow at this point is for the leader to provide a general message from the Spirit world to all in the group. All members should keep their eyes closed to focus inwards, while the leader asks Spirit to supply a message from which they can draw inspiration and insight. After this initial message, the person to the left of the leader then tunes into Spirit by simply asking for another message from the helpers in Spirit to assist with everyone's psychic development, and so on, continuing around the psychic circle so all members have practised relaying an inspired message from Spirit. These messages from Spirit are often brief but frequently elevate the thoughts of all present. Be open to whatever messages come through; and don't be surprised if some nights you receive quite a lot of detail whereas at other times Spirit does not provide a long message. Whatever needs to be communicated will be communicated. Trust yourself and those in Spirit helping you and you will be fine. 8. It is now time for the development of mediumship ability and some members of your group will display more of a natural flair conveying messages from loved ones than others in the group, so please be patient. Mediumistic abilities take much longer to develop than general clairvoyant skills and your patience is rewarded with long term results and accuracy over time. Next, the leader should give the first messages from loved ones for the evening. To begin, the leader asks if there is anyone present tonight from the Spirit world (that is, people, not Spirit Guides) who wishes to communicate with any of the group members. The leader initially supplies survival evidence from a communicator on the Other Side (man/woman, older/younger person and so on to validate the presence of the Spirit). They should also ask the Spirit person which member of the group they wish to speak with, and the leader will then intuitively discern which member is to receive the message. Having established the identity of the communicator, the group leader then asks WHY the Spirit person wishes to communicate and WHAT they wish to say. The leader is to communicate all thoughts and mental impressions to the group as they are received, keeping the messages relayed in 'live' time as soon as they are received. 9. When the leader has communicated several messages from those in Spirit, it is again time to move around the group one-by-one, allowing each person a few minutes to tune into the Spirit world and communicate all of their mental impressions to the group. This is why it is vital to have a group of friendly, peaceful people: to minimise self-consciousness and shyness so that the focus is on each person having a calm few minutes to convey all psychic impressions received from those on the Other Side and not be restricted by worrying thoughts about how their psychic impressions will be received. The focus here is to speak every thought, feeling and impression as it is received and not to dwell on what is being perceived. Get it out for others to hear, don't keep it in. Each member is in turn to convey as much as they can manage in the same manner as the leader, establishing the identity of the communicator on the Other Side ('WHO'), conveying WHY they are coming through, and then communicating the message from the Spirit world ('WHAT'). 10. When all members have had the opportunity to tune into Spirit and convey messages to the group (which comprises the largest part of the psychic circle meeting) it is time for the leader to say a closing prayer of thanks to all Spirit helpers and then gently draw the evening's meeting to a close.
Psychic Circles Repay Your Efforts Organising a psychic circle is time consuming at first to get it up and running, but the benefits to all members of the group are wonderful when the right dynamic of people is found (and this can take some time to achieve). Over the last 100 years, experience has revealed no greater way of developing psychic ability in a supportive setting than in a psychic development circle. The results are certainly worth the effort involved for all members, and patience is always to be embraced in your psychic circle, as with all psychic and spiritual development. Take a leaf out of the book of the gifted Scottish medium Gordon Smith: although Gordon now appears around the world demonstrating his wonderful abilities, he still attends his local development circle when he returns from his travels to Glasgow. As Gordon's humble approach testifies, we never will reach the point where we know and develop enough to stop learning lessons from our friends in the Spirit world. Although the people in your circle may occasionally change, a psychic circle provides a wonderful resource to explore when developing your psychic powers.
