- Allow imagination!This may sound crazy, but it is through our imagination that intuitive information often sneaks in. That screen in our head where we “see” things in our imagination is the same screen our Angels and Guides use to communicate with us. They can flash images and symbols here for us to “see” in our minds eye.
Here are a couple of imagination games you can play to open the door. “See” a traffic light in your head. Now notice which color light is lit up? Now, ask yourself a yes/no question that you already know the answer to, like, is my name Alissa? Look at the light again, now what color is it? Just play around asking questions and notice how the color changes. After a few days of asking and looking at the color of light that shows up, try asking a question that you don’t know the answer to. For me, a green light means yes, or go ahead, or move forward. A red light means no, or stop now. A yellow light means check out details, look for hidden agendas, be careful, or proceed slowly there may be more here than meets the eye.
Here is another game you play. When your phone rings, before you look at the caller ID on the screen, take just a second and see whose name comes to mind. Play around and see how you improve with that instant “knowing”.
You can also take a deck of playing cards, turn them over, shuffle, pick a card, backside up, and try to see, sense, or feel which card it is. Notice how the information comes to you. Is it coming like a picture into your mind? Or do you sense the color shape? Or, do you feel the energy coming off it? Or, did you hear what the card was? Was it with your inner ear, in your head, or was it a voice outside your body? All these are ways of receiving psychic information. The important thing is to notice how it comes to you, and work on noticing that. Notice how many times a day you receive information that same way.
This is how your 6th sense talks to you!

- Ask!I think we could have so many more answers and receive better guidance and support if we only remember to ASK! The next time you have an important decision to make, or question to be answered, take the time to write down what your question is, and read it out loud. You can address your question to God, your Higher Self, the Universe, you Angel, or whatever /whomever you are comfortable with. Then, if you can, just go do something else. Trust that the answer will come through at the perfect time. You may get answer at the moment of asking, maybe not for a year. Whatever happens is perfect because you took the time to Ask. And, you will receive an answer. Even silence is an answer. A great time for asking for an answer is right before you go to sleep at night. Answers can come in dreams when our logical mind is resting and our more intuitive subconscious is unhindered.
“Ask and it will be given unto you………..” ~ Jesus, Mathew 7:7
- Symbols and Signs.Pick 6 things you would like to use as symbols for communication with Spirit and Angels. Write down the symbol and the meaning you attach to that symbol. Then, read this aloud directing your attention to God, Spirit, your Higher Self, or whomever you want to be receiving messages from. Here are some examples that I use. The bluebird is a symbol for me to pay attention, something important is going down. Bluebirds can be alive and flying overhead, or on a calendar, or a birthday card, or in a dream. When I see a bluebird, I know Spirit is close and wants my attention. I gave Spirit the bluebird as sign to use when my attention is needed. Another for me is the color green. When I see green flashing in my mind’s eye, I know that the answer to my question is yes. Here is an easy way to do it, think of something you want as a symbol. Let’s say, you pick a rose as a Spirit Symbol. Now, you give it the meaning that when you see a rose (could be a living flower, a woman named Rose, painting, the smell of roses) that you will always know that it is your passed on mother saying hello. If this is what you want the meaning to be for you, simply write it down, read it aloud, and intend that it is so. Then ask you mother in spirit to use roses to show you her presence. You pick your symbol, you pick the meaning, and then notice how often Spirit gives you sign using your symbol.

- Be Quiet.Seriously! We all have monkey chatter going on in our heads to some degree or another. It’s the human condition. This is why meditation is so recommended by spiritual development teachers. It gives us the space we need to connect, quiet down, and listen to that small still voice within. Unfortunately that small still voice is so often drowned out by our logical minds, the endless comparisons, our desire to please others, and so many other things. Setting some time aside each day for quiet reflection is an awesome way to strengthen the inner voice. I think that sometimes, even when we remember to ASK for guidance, we aren’t be quiet long enough to get the answers we long for. Well, meditation, or daily quiet time, is one of the best ways to access answers, strengthen the inner voice, and receive practical guidance. Even just 10 minutes a day of quiet time, in a room by yourself, is all that is needed to get started. Some people have a really difficult time doing even 10 minutes of quiet. Here are a few ideas to help get over the hump here. 1. Turn on some music. A great choice is mediation music, with binaural beats. Binaural beats
