Finding your true self and knowing that it is grounding to do so, can help you in developing psychic abilities.
Hey there! It’s Melissa. Welcome to A Mystic’s Journal.

Living At-One: Learn to Ground Yourself in Harmony for Psychic Development
Give me beauty in the inward soul; may the outward and the inward man be at one. ~Socrates.
There is a state of consciousness that allows your life to flow through you. It is a way of bringing yourself into harmony. Harmony blends body, mind and spirit.
We do it naturally as a baby or young child: movement is purposeful, thinking is blended with movement, and your spirit is still in control. The small child is totally connected to the body/mind/spirit and acts within its life as a total unit. As we grow, the things we learn about the world changes how we move in life. Soon, we are disconnected from the spirit aspect of self, and more aware of the physical body.
Being grounded in who you are is what many metaphysical people are talking about when they say, “You have to ground yourself.” It is mistaken very often to mean just connecting with the earth or ground. But in reality, being grounded means to be fully in harmony with your three-fold self.
Being grounded, or in-harmony, is one of the things first taught when learning to be more intuitive or psychic. It allows you to commune with other energies without losing the connection with Self.
When connecting with psychic energy, it is imperative for you to know who you are and where you are going. If not careful, you can allow the energy you are working with to take control of you and your life – you actually lose control of yourself.
The more you are attuned to your whole Self, the more it becomes a lifestyle. You are able to relate to people and things outside yourself in a manner that honors them. In reality, all is One, so by honoring the people and things outside yourself, you are ultimately honoring yourself. You begin to have an awareness of compassion. You see everyone as yourself.
This creates the perfect scenario for psychic development. As you become more aware of yourself being connected to and a part of everything else, then you can connect on a psychic level easier. The two things: you and everything else are the same. So, the connection is instant.
Now you have a good working relationship with yourself and can connect easier with psychic energies. Work with the exercise, meditation and affirmation below to assist you in your endeavors.
Try this exercise:
While preparing food for a meal, recognize how it will assimilate into your body. Cleansing the dishes and utensils is honoring the food that comes into your body. All things in and around you, become one with your energy field. You literally become these things. Feel the harmony between you and the energy of your food.
Meditation:
Sit still for a few minutes. Take at least one deep, clearing breath. Look around you. See the items around you, perhaps for the first time. Yes, they have always been there, but now you are able to really see them as they are. This is your world, with the things you have chosen to co-exist. Honor each of these things. In the honoring they will be a blessing to you.
Listen to your world. What sounds are in your space? Close your eyes, so you can hear them better. Know that you are at one with those sounds and yourself.
Affirmation:
I now truly want to know who I am within the collective universe. How I move and interact with others is the way I move and interact with myself. I unite myself with Creator-Source, and that Source merges with me.
