Now, in the first installment we looked at some of the myths surrounding psychic abilities and helped you understand how these abilities are completely natural and a part of who you are. We also hinted at how you can create the right conditions to help develop and exploit your psychic powers to their full potential
And the secret to creating those conditions and unlocking your psychic powers is ... meditation!
But what exactly is meditation, and how can it be so powerful?
Meditation is basically a way of learning how to focus. When you're focused you can shut out the physical world and let your intuition and sixth sense come storming through. And that's where all your psychic power comes from.
But to some people meditation is an inexplicable practice that remains surrounded in mystery and misconception. It's seen as either too complicated or too time consuming to be of any real benefit in our modern way of life. This is so far from the truth, however, that we feel the need to shatter all those myths immediately and set your mind at rest!

MYTH NO. 1 -- Meditation takes years of practice and requires super-human powers of concentration.
This is totally false. Meditation is simply a skill that anyone can learn. It takes little more than the ability to breathe deeply, close your eyes and focus on something. You can focus on a color, a shape, a sound, an object, a face, or anything that helps you block out the world around you.
You don't need to wear fancy clothes or chant silly incantations. But then again, you can if you want to. And that's another point to remember. Meditation is a personal experience: you do it the way you want to by following the techniques that suit you and your lifestyle.
MYTH NO. 2 -- In order to meditate, you have to empty your mind.
This is also completely false. You probably already realize that it's physically impossible to empty your mind. No matter what you do, there's always something going on in there. Even when you're asleep your mind is working away, sifting through information from your day and sorting things out for later use. Rather than thinking about emptying your mind, instead you should think about filling it with just ONE idea and trying to focus on that. That's what REAL meditation is.
The ability to focus on a single thought is probably the only difficult part of meditation. And once you get the hang of that, with help from all the exercises included with this course, you'll be able to meditate almost anywhere and at any time that's convenient for you.
MYTH NO. 3 -- Real meditation requires you to get into the Lotus position.
Are you kidding? Meditation is a thoroughly personal experience. It doesn't require you to position your body in any special way. Crossing your legs in a way that is incredibly uncomfortable is NOT going to help quieten your mind!
There are many schools of meditation and special exercises from "international meditation gurus". However the simple truth is that whatever works for you, works for you. There are no right and wrong ways to meditate.
Now - as well as helping you focus and gain access to your psychic potential, meditation also brings with it a whole stack of benefits that will improve your health and well being almost immediately. Here are just some of the by-products you'll enjoy when you meditate regularly...
* increased relaxation
* instant stress relief
* better concentration skills
* a more positive outlook
* looking and feeling younger
* more creativity
* greater spontaneity
* emotional security
* more energy
* clearer ideas about what you want
* enhanced problem solving skills
Once you're relaxed and your mind is open to possibilities, you'll begin to notice things you might have previously taken for granted.
Now, I'm going to show you how easy it is to learn how to meditate and unleash your secret psychic power source, your INTUITION.
Let's start with the simplest focusing technique there is: deep breathing. This exercise is the basis for all your meditation work and the key to helping you lead a more intuitive life.
Whenever you do any of the exercises in the Be Psychic! books, make sure you have a comfortable place to sit in a quiet room where you won't be disturbed. Many of the exercises are meant to be done while you're at work or when you're out and about, but you might find it difficult to practice the focusing and meditating exercises unless you can shut out the world in a relaxing and peaceful environment. But don't let that put you off: once you get some experience behind you, you'll easily be able to focus - even in the most hectic situations!

DEEP BREATHING EXERCISE
Make yourself comfortable as you sit on a chair or on the floor. Keep your back and spine as straight as possible to allow energy to flow freely through your body.
Breathe in slowly through your nostrils only, keeping your mouth closed to help make this easier. Exhale slowly through your nostrils as well, feeling the air as it enters and leaves the body through your nose.
Focus on your breathing. Feel each breath enter and exit your nasal passages. Feel the air filling up your lungs as your chest rises and falls.
Continue to breathe deeply in this manner until your mind is calm and your body is relaxed. If your concentration wanders at any time, try to bring your thoughts back to your breathing again.

Okay, it's a pretty basic exercise -- but it illustrates two points.
Firstly, how easy it is to focus and, secondly, how meditation doesn't have to be a long and complicated process.
If you managed to complete this little exercise then you'll know that it takes only a few minutes to relax and find something to focus on. And that's what meditation is all about.
Once you begin meditating on a regular basis, you'll be able to calm your mind and body quickly, putting yourself in exactly the right state to activate your intuition. This isn't as difficult as it sounds, because your intuition has been guiding you to make decisions and solve problems all of your life.
Think about all the people you know in your life.
Why are some of these people more successful than others?
Because they follow their instincts, listen to the voices in their heads, go with their gut feelings and rely on their first impressions. In other words, they work WITH their intuition and not against it. Of course it can be difficult to start listening to your intuition when you've spent a lot of time ignoring it, and that's where "Be Psychic!" can help.
When you trust in your intuition and follow your instincts you'll be making a significant change in the way you approach and resolve situations in your life. Possibilities will open up before your very eyes, giving you the perfect foundation with which to explore your other psychic talents, including clairvoyance, telepathy, healing and mediumship.
In your next installment we'll be showing you how to see into the future and to read minds. But if you're eager to get started right away, download Be Psychic! NOW and begin unlocking your psychic potential immediately!
