Psychic Boundaries
          By Lisa S. Lawless. Ph.D., Holistic Wisdom C.E.O.

It is important when learning about psychic abilities to remember the importance of psychic boundaries. Often when we develop our psychic abilities we become more sensitive to the energies around us. When this happens we can sometimes feel overwhelmed from someone else’s energy. This can occur in many ways. An example might be sitting next to someone in a movie theater who is very depressed. Suddenly out of nowhere you start to feel very sad. When this occurs it is important to bring this to your consciousness so that you can decipher whether it is you who is truly feeling sad, or if it is someone in your environment. Some people who are extraordinarily sensitive to psychic energy may find it difficult to be in public places where there is a lot of hostile or negative energy. A walk through New York City might completely overwhelm someone with this level of sensitivity.

Learning techniques that can assist you in protecting your self will be valuable for these reasons. Because our intentions are a form of strong energy that is omitted, holding an intention can be a very effective way of protecting ourselves without cutting ourselves off from the world around us. Be creative in setting an intention. Using visualizations is an especially powerful medium for doing this. The following is an example of such visualization.

First, try to find a place where you can be quite and still for a moment. Breathe in and relax, remembering that you are one with the divine. Close your eyes and imagine that a beautiful white light is coming through the top of your head (through your crown chakra) and flowing through your entire body. Every atom that you physically consist of is being cleansed with this beautiful light. Now visualize a wonderful silvery bubble that is three feet all around you. Notice that it is creating a mirrored image all around you, and that despite it’s strength it is permeable. What you allow inside your bubble is love, respect, honor, integrity, and information that is useful to you. What it protects you from is fear, hostility, disrespect, and what does not serve you. It’s silvery image reflects to those you interact with the mirror image of how they come across to you so that they can become conscious of the way that they are in the world, and toward you. To finish this exercise, take your arms and feel the silvery bubble around you energetically. You are now ready to take on life as a psychic with boundaries.

Get creative and make your own visualizations. As stated before, intentions are the seeds of power that create those things that "come to be" in our lives. If you become masterful at holding intentions, you will be masterful at guiding yourself and those around you.
