To help you keep grounded and in balance, you can count on some help. If you participate in an organized religion, you can rely on the divinity or divinities of that belief system. In fact, many psychics belong to an organized religion. Your psychic ability is a part of your very soul, as ancient as any religion. God, as that being is understood by most modern religions, is a part of all that is good. The Divine works for the betterment of mankind — that is, God's role is that of the Universal Mind.

It is also possible that you cannot define exactly what you believe. It may be that you see God as a part of nature — the oceans, forests, mountains, and all living things on the earth and in the sky. That is okay as long as you believe that there is something, somewhere in the Universe, that is a positive force that watches over you and others. Whoever that being or higher power is, that is your Belief.

Can You Explain It?

If you do not have an organized religion, what or whom do you believe in? Do you believe that there is a Divinity somewhere in the Universe? Do you believe that you have a soul? Do you believe in the powers of good and evil? Do you believe that you have a purpose in life?

Can you define your Belief in your own words ? Take a few moments to consider your answers. How would you explain your Belief to anyone else? How comfortable are you defining your Belief?

Do you believe in miracles? And if you do, how often are you aware of them happening around you? Are you aware of them daily or only occasionally?

Communication with Your Belief

Do you rely on angels, saints, or other beings to work their good? Do you look to something to protect you from both the known and the unknown? Can you turn there when you are faced with an unknown fear?

Do you communicate with your Belief on a daily basis, just when you remember to, or only at times when you are asking for something? Do you feel that you and this higher power are compatible and in tune with each other, or do you feel as if you are in conflict?

An Exercise of Contemplation

Here is an exercise to help you contemplate your Belief. If you choose to try it, take a few moments to get comfortable; then allow yourself to take a deep breath, exhale, and relax. You may count yourself down from five to zero and feel yourself connected to your inner guidance system. (Each time you relax, it is always different — sometimes in a deep focus and sometimes not.)

As you count yourself down, you may suggest that with each count you will feel more and more relaxed and in tune with your inner guidance system. You may allow yourself to feel a connection to your Belief, whether you know exactly what it is or not. If you are still unsure, then allow yourself to be open to the positive flow of the Universe. When you reach zero, give yourself some time to feel a positive connection to your Belief. If you have concerns for yourself or others or for the development of your psychic gifts, you may turn them over to your Belief for resolution and guidance.

After you have spent some time contemplating your Belief, you may take a deep breath, exhale, and count yourself slowly upward to five and the surface of your mind. When you get back to five, take another breath, exhale, and come back to your conscious mind. It is okay to include this communication in your daily relaxation exercises.

Anchor Your Connection

You can give yourself a mental or physical anchor while you are relaxed and connected to your Belief. Put your thumb and finger together and squeeze lightly. As you do this, you may suggest to yourself that whenever you repeat this action, you will feel connected to your Belief. The level of connection will always be at the focus level that is positive and aware. In other words, if you are driving a car, you will always be alert and awake when you trigger your anchor.

The same effect can be obtained if you use a verbal anchor. A verbal anchor may be a specific word as simple as “Believe.” Other types of anchors may be auditory (a specific sound), olfactory (a certain smell), or mental (the memory of a particular smell). It could even be the positive feeling you get when you are in a special place.

An anchor is a way to instantly experience a positive connection to your Belief. The more you practice making this connection, the easier it will be for you to make. If you consciously practice triggering your anchors, you will begin to do it automatically within a short period of time. The more comfortable you become communicating with your Belief, the more confidence you will have in it. It is part of the key to your psychic development.

It is possible that you may already be using negative anchors, probably without any conscious awareness on your part at all. They can trigger your self-doubt. When you are connected to your psychic ability, a negative anchor may trigger and bring back an old fear or doubt. If this is the case for you, then you may use your positive belief anchor to reframe a negative one.
