The Mystic's Tool - Sensory Engagement in the Psychic-Self Moment

Being aware of your psychic self, present moment awareness.

There are many types and ways of recognizing yourself as a psychic being. It takes a period of time and dedication to recognize Self by self. To know yourself as psychic can be a very powerful exercise. We’ll use Sensory Engagement as a way of self-discovery.

Welcome! Our community is growing, and I welcome those who recently joined. I’ll always have mystical stuff and metaphysical topics along with my opinion of course! A Mystic’s Journal is delivered every Tuesday. Please feel free to share with others. Thanks.

Finding Your Mystic’s Tool

Knowing who you truly are is perhaps the most awesome moment of your life. As you search for meaning in the psychic world, and stumble around in metaphysical stuff, you may (hopefully) come across the TRUE YOU.

This part of you has always been there. But you have been too busy looking in all the wrong places and ‘feeling’ all the wrong feels, that you have stomped all over your Self many times.

I know, this sound ominous. But the part of you that can initiate your metaphysical journey, and mystical world has always been there. It is so simple; you constantly overlook it as unimportant.

Being Aware of Your Psychic Self - Sensory Engagement in the Moment

THE MYSTIC’S TOOL: Meditation. The purpose of meditation practice is to awaken us to ourselves. Mindful Intentions (Meditation) is a way of bringing about transformation and change, through understanding, compassion, and clarity of seeing. Done for health purposes, concentration practices may select a more neutral object such as the sensation of the breath or the sensation of the body as it moves.

The second general category of meditation practice includes all forms of concentration - awareness or "mindfulness." Such activities seek to develop and nourish present moment awareness. They encourage paying attention in a way so as to be more aware in the present moment of all that is here, and of the constantly changing nature of what is here. These "mindfulness" practices are often described as "being, not doing," because mindfulness itself is the innate quality of human beings which is natural awareness. Mindfulness can be defined as careful, open hearted, choice-less, present moment awareness.

Mindfulness is the awareness that is not thinking. Mindfulness is non-judgmental and open-hearted. It is cultivated by paying attention on purpose, deeply, and without judgment to whatever arises in the present moment, either inside or outside of us. By intentionally practicing mindfulness, deliberately paying more careful moment-to-moment attention, individuals can live more fully and less on "automatic pilot," thus, being more present for their own lives. Mindfulness meditation practices seek to develop this quality of clear, present moment awareness in a systematic way so that the practitioner may enjoy these benefits.

Why is meditation offered for stress reduction?

Answer: to find yourself. The use of meditation for stress reduction is related to discoveries about the mind-body connection in health and illness. Western medicine has researched this in depth over the last 25 to 30 years. Researchers have discovered that the mind and the body are intimately connected. It is now known that thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and stress all have a great impact on health and illness. Meditation is one method that individuals can learn to do to promote stress release. Research has shown that the ability to concentrate attention can promote deep relaxation in the body. This ability then can assist the individual to be more mindful in each situation and can help break the destructive habitual reactions to stress.

Shannon Duncan in her book The Power of this Moment, shares this simple tool for empowering yourself when worry and mental static overtake you. She suggests there are three clear paths to take when you are faced with a task you worry about:

1. Do the task now

2. Do the task later.

3. Do not do the task.

When put into that perspective, you have a choice, and after making the decision, see yourself letting go of it. Recognize the time and energy that frees up because you were decisive and then welcome that process as a healthy habit from now on

It’s not the overdue payment, traffic jam, or fight with our spouse that causes stress – it’s our thoughts and the story we tell ourselves about an event or circumstance that create the emotional upset, racing heart rate, shallow breathing, surging adrenalin, and other symptoms of the stress response. ~~Deepak Chopra

Your Mindful Moment - Finding Self

The best way to be truly in the present moment is to focus on your breath. It is as simple as closing your eyes and really paying attention to the inhale and exhale. Don’t try to control it but simply witness it. Becoming the observer allows you to remove yourself from the action, and just watch the chest and abdomen raise and lower, feel the air move through the nose and lungs.

As you are able to be detached from this process of breathing, you also start to observe other actions of your body. Pay more attention to how your body feels. Hear the heart beating, feel the blood pulse through your veins, recognize any aches or pains in your body. The physical moment will keep you completely in the present moment.

Intention: “As I breathe, my perception of life experiences becomes clear to me.”

So, the main purpose of Meditation is to help you through your life. It allows you to access the True You! The answer is never as complicated as you might think. Always look for the simple answer. You’ll never go wrong.
