My Psychic Skills: How They Grow
by Caroline Ruderman

I was an adult when I began meditating. As an early adult struggling with anxiety and a temperment, I began leaning into a sitting practice. I sat irregularly and felt that watching my mind was a pointless behavior. I figured “if I’m just going to sit here thinking with my eyes closed, what’s the point?” There was no dedication, no readiness, no discipline.
​
One time however, I began to sit with an ounce of quiet and I felt the layer around my skin feel puffy, like it extended two or three inches beyond my physical body. It was a new experience.
​
My first true spiritual practice was based on my love of being with the energy of Reiki. I told myself, I was just going to nap and relax, but truly I was sitting in silence for the first time in my life. Reiki allowed me to calm my nervous system and be absolute within myself. It was hard to explain to others the images that appeared in my mind’s eye as I watched the energy within. I saw lifetimes, I felt emotions, I saw ancestral paths, and connections to their mental and emotional patterns. As other lifetimes emerged, I saw other races of galactic beings, animal companions and telepathy emerged with a directness that I could never have anticipated. I was in love with the knowing beyond my ordinary thoughts.
​
Part of this deep connection to my growing intuition was that I had often felt left behind or left out of important discussions. I felt like people watered down or edited their lives. There was so much to say! So much to share, to release, to connect with over very common experiences. I was in love with connecting with others on a deep and immediate level that I never had before. My psychic skills were truly a way that I understood my relationships with others in a transparent way.
​
Healing work is often like this. We begin to understand ourselves when we have a mirror, a reflection to our truest nature. It wasn’t until many years later that i found a piece of myself worthy of getting to know. It took many years to trust what I was seeing and feeling within myself was worthy of being loved and adored. I could not have done that work alone. I can only credit my animal friends, my earth teachers, the trees and the wind who whispered to me that I am loved. I could not have found my feet, my grounding without them.
​
Many of my readings came from a place of truly wanted to know others. Now, my readings are in service, in devotion to our planetary healing, to our connection with our True Nature. I admire the skills that others have in the psychic arts and then I realize that wow, I have those too. What we adore in others, we harbor within ourselves.
​
From many lifetimes past, we culminate our wills, our loves, our desires, our unwillingness or resistance. We will find the places we go are not unseen, but truly recognized by the heart and spirit more than the eyes.
​
I have lifetimes to teach you what you need to know if you are ready to learn. From Reiki to intuition, the soul wants to express itself in this very life, however the desire strikes. We are more than just these bodies, more than just these tremendous thoughts or ideas. Please be willing to go beyond and uncover what is truly yours.
