Developing the senses 

You wish to understand how you may increase your gifts, your senses. We say to you it is not difficult. If you wish to listen more intently, if you wish to heighten your listening, simply spend time with closed eyes and listen to that that is around you. Converse with those around you with your eyes closed, so that you may hear the nuances in their tones. If you wish to see, you may close your ears and look closely at objects. Observe their colours and shapes. Observe the intensity. What may you see within that intensity do you think? Look about your room. Observe as much as you can, every nook and cranny every line and every pattern, and then close your eyes and try to remember that, that you have seen. You may close your ears, and close your eyes, and smell the different smells in the room. What does the room smell like? When you are in nature what do you smell? What does the smell remind you of? What does it feel like? It is through intricate observation, using your senses that you may heighten them. When you begin to touch an item how does the item feel? Rough? Soft? Slippery? It is through using each sense, to its fullest that you begin to experience and unlock their potential. It is like any muscle that you practice with in sport. A diver becomes a great diver by practising use of certain angles or uses of muscles. A runner strengthens the legs by running further and further each day, and so your senses may be strengthened by using them intently, consciously. You are so rushed in your daily living that you do not pay close attention. You are already thinking about what you are to do in the next few minutes or the next hour or the next day or week, and so you have your attention placed elsewhere rather than on your senses. Some consume their meal without even tasting what they have swallowed. There are those that do not even recall the road they have walked for they are already in another time frame. We say to you, to increase your senses, be observant, be present, slow down. How does your body feel every day? Before you read for another, or channel for another, make note of your state of being. How do you feel? Are you happy? Are you sad? Are you hot? Are you cold? Do you smell anything? Do you hear anything? Then when you sit with another to channel for them or to read for them, and you notice changes in your hearing or sight, or smell, you understand that these changes come from this other and not from yourself, and so you can tap into whether they are anxious, or not. Whether they are happy or sad. Whether they smell a certain way. Do you understand? When you become observant and present in your awareness, you heighten your senses, for you are aware of them. You are aware of your surroundings and all that you hear. In becoming aware, by becoming self-aware, your senses become heightened, for you use them in being aware. Yes. Our scribe asks the question, of how one may see clairvoyantly. A good way to practice this is to look at a scene, a picture, and then close your eyes and imagine that picture in your mind's eye, every part of the picture. The colours, the shadows, how the place would feel, and smell, and you will build a picture in your mind. Continue doing this for a period of time. It will be difficult to hold onto to this for very long at first, but over time you may hold it longer and longer. It is a practice in focus, of your attention. Regular stillness helps heighten the senses because you become more attuned to your self, and to your surroundings in doing so. You become heightened so to speak. Understand that all comes with practice. That all this is a skill, and for the ones that have already the skill easily, is because they have learnt it before in another lifetime, or it may even be in the genes, again through a past life time. Be at peace where you are, and know that you may improve to no end if you practice your craft. The master painter, the mathematician, the artist, the dancer, they all have a love, and a practice of their talents. Yes some are a natural, but they are no different from you. You may become anything you wish if you place intent, and work towards it with a fire in your belly. You may achieve anything you wish.

This we say to you this day.

That is all.
