Ethereal vision training. Astral vision and other alternative visions

We define simple clairvoyance as the opening of etheric or astral vision, enabling the owner of this vision to see what may be around him at the appropriate level; but this kind of clairvoyance is usually not accompanied by the ability to see anything at a great distance, or to read the past and future. Of course, it is hardly possible to completely exclude these latter abilities, because the area of ​​astral vision is undoubtedly much wider than the area of ​​physical vision, and fragmentary pictures of the past and future can often appear completely by accident even to those clairvoyants who do not know exactly how to use them. search; but nevertheless there is a very significant difference between such random glimpses and a certain power of projection of vision into space or time.

We find in sensitive people all degrees of this kind of clairvoyance, ranging from vague impressions that hardly deserve the name of sight, and up to the complete possession of etheric or astral vision. It may be easiest to begin by describing what can be seen when a faculty is fully developed, since then cases of partial possession of it will naturally take their proper place.

Let us first turn to etheric vision. As has already been said, it consists simply in sensitivity to a larger than usual range of physical vibrations; but nevertheless, many things are revealed to those who have this vision to which most people are completely blind. Let's see what changes the acquisition of this power will cause in the appearance of ordinary objects, animate and inanimate, and then we will see what completely new conditions it introduces into our lives. But we must remember that what will now be discussed is the result only of the complete and completely conscious possession of this ability, and that most of the examples that we will encounter in real life will lag far behind in one respect or another.

The most striking change in the appearance of inanimate objects caused by the acquisition of this faculty is that many of them become almost transparent, owing to the difference in the wavelength of certain vibrations to which man has now become susceptible. Now it is very easy for him to perform the fabulous trick of “seeing through a brick wall,” since for his newly acquired vision the brick wall is now no denser than light fog. And ok sees everything that happens in the next room almost as if there was no intermediate wall; he can accurately describe the contents of a locked box or read a sealed letter; with a little practice he can find any place in a closed book. This last trick, quite easy for a person with astral vision, presents significant difficulties for someone who uses etheric vision, due to the fact that in the latter case each page has to be looked at through those located above.

It is often asked whether in such cases a person always sees with the help of this supernormal vision or only when he wants to see it that way? The answer to this is this: if the faculty is developed to perfection, it will be entirely under the control of the clairvoyant, and he can use either it or his ordinary vision - at will. He moves from one method to another as easily and naturally as we now change the focus of our vision when we raise our eyes from a book to follow the movements of an object located in the distance. It is as if directing the focus of consciousness to one or another aspect of the observed phenomenon, and even if a person very clearly saw the aspect to which his attention was directed at that moment, he will always be vaguely aware of another aspect, just as directing the focus our vision of some object that we hold in our hands, we still dimly see the opposite wall of the room in the background.

Another curious change which comes with the possession of etheric sight is that the solid ground on which a man walks becomes to some extent transparent to him, so that he can see down to a considerable depth, as we can see in clean water. This allows him to see a creature burrowing underground, to distinguish a vein of coal or metal if they are not very far from the surface, etc.

The limits of etheric vision when looking through dense matter seem to be similar to the limits imposed on us when looking through water or fog. We cannot see beyond a certain distance because the medium through which we look is not completely transparent.

The appearance of animate objects also changes significantly for a person who has developed his visual abilities to such an extent.

The bodies of people and animals are generally transparent to him, so that he can observe the activity of various internal organs, and sometimes even diagnose their diseases.

Enhanced vision also allows him to see more or less clearly various orders of beings, elementals and others, whose bodies are unable to reflect rays within the ordinary visible spectrum. Among these beings are some of the lower spirits of nature, whose bodies are composed of denser etheric matter.

To this class belong almost all fairies, gnomes, brownies, about whom so many stories have been preserved in the mountains of Scotland and Ireland and in secluded country places around the world.

The vast kingdom of nature spirits is mainly the astral kingdom, but still a significant part of it belongs to the etheric region of the physical plane and this department, of course, is more accessible to ordinary people than others. And in fact, when reading ordinary fairy stories, you very often come across certain indications that we are dealing here with precisely this class. All students of magical legends will remember how often there is mention of certain mysterious ointments and potions that give the human eye the ability to see the inhabitants of the magical kingdom wherever they meet.

Stories about the use of these ointments and potions and what came out of it are repeated constantly and come from all over the world, so perhaps some truth must be hidden behind them, like behind all world folk traditions. One such lubrication of the eyes cannot in any way reveal in a person his astral vision, although some ointments, if rubbed over the whole body, greatly help the astral body to leave the physical in full consciousness - a fact that was apparently known in the middle ages. centuries, as can be seen from the testimony given during some of the witch trials.

But the application of these remedies to the physical eye can easily so excite its sensitivity that it becomes susceptible to certain etheric vibrations. These fairy tales also often tell how a person who has used this mystical lubrication sometimes reveals himself to a fairy, and how this fairy hits him in the eyes or gouges them out, thus depriving him not only of etheric vision, but also of denser vision. physical plane.

If the acquired vision were astral, such a measure would be completely useless, because no injury done to the physical vehicle can affect the astral faculty; but if the vision caused by the ointment was etheric, then the destruction of the physical eye would destroy the etheric vision, because the eye is the mechanism by which it operates. Anyone possessing the vision in question can also see the etheric double of a person; but this latter is so similar in size to the physical man that it is unlikely to attract his attention, unless it is partially separated - in a trance or under some anesthetic influence. After death, when the etheric double is completely separated from the dense body, it is visible very clearly, and a person with etheric vision, walking through a churchyard or cemetery, will often see it over fresh graves.

Being present at a seance, such a person will see the etheric matter emanating from the medium and will be able to observe the various ways in which communicating beings use it. Another fact that is unlikely to be slow to emerge is the expansion of his receptivity to paints. He will see completely new colors, not at all similar to the colors of the spectrum now known to us, and therefore, of course, indescribable by any words at our disposal. He will not only see new objects entirely painted in these new colors, but he will also discover that the colors of objects well known to him change if they contain any shades of these new colors mixed with old ones. Thus, two colored surfaces that appear exactly the same to the ordinary eye will often present completely different shades to its more acute vision.

We have touched upon some of the most important changes that will occur in the human world when he acquires etheric vision. And one must always remember that in most cases a corresponding change will occur simultaneously in all his receptivity, so that he will be able to hear and perhaps even feel more than most of those around him. Suppose now that in addition to this he receives vision of the astral plane, what further changes can be noticed?

There will be many changes and very significant ones. Truly a whole new world will open before his eyes. Let us briefly note his miracles in the same order as before, and first of all let us see how the appearance of inanimate objects will change.

There is a very definite difference between etheric and astral vision and, apparently, the latter corresponds to the fourth dimension.

The easiest way to understand this difference is with an example. If you look at a person using one or the other vision alternately, you will, for example, see buttons sewn to the back of his coat in both cases; but, using etheric vision, you will look at these buttons through a person and in each button you will first see the ear as closest to you, and then the rest of it; if you look astrally, you will see this button not only in the same way, but also as if you were standing behind this person.

Or: if you look, using etheric vision, at a wooden cube with inscriptions on all its sides, you will have the impression that this cube is glass, so that you can see through it, and you will see the inscription on the opposite side of the cube backwards ; the inscriptions on the right and left sides will be unclear to you, because you will see them at an angle. But if you look at the cube astrally, you will see all its sides at once and everything is absolutely correct so that the whole cube is stretched out in a plane in front of you, and just as well you will see each part of its inner sides and not through the others, but all in a flattened form . The direction from which you will look at the cube is different and lies at right angles to all directions known to you.

If you look, using etheric vision, at the back of the watch, you will see through it all the wheels, and through the wheels you will see the dial, but backwards. If you look at the lid astrally, you will see the dial correctly and all the wheels separately, and nothing will lie one on top of the other."

Here we have the main tone and the main factor of change: a person looks at everything from a completely new point of view, beyond anything he has ever imagined before. Now he will be able to read any page in a closed book without any difficulty, because now he looks at it not through all the other pages lying above or below, but directly at it, as if it were the only visible page. The depth at which the vein of metal or coal lies no longer serves as an obstacle for him, because now he is no longer looking through the earth lying between him and the vein.

The thickness of the wall or the number of walls between the observer and the object of observation can greatly interfere with the clarity of etheric vision; but they will not present any difficulties for astral vision, because on the astral plane they will not be between the observer and the observed. Of course, this sounds like something paradoxical and impossible, and it is absolutely impossible to explain it to a mind not trained in this direction, but nevertheless it is absolutely true.

As is known, H. P. Blavatsky, hinting at the theory of the fourth dimension, noted that this was only a clumsy way of stating the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe complete permeability of matter, and W. T. Stead went in the same direction, introducing to his readers this concept called “through-throughness” ". However, careful, repeated and detailed investigations seem to indicate quite decisively that this explanation does not cover all the facts; it can be perfectly applied to etheric vision, but only the later and completely new idea of ​​the fourth dimension, expounded by Hinton, can explain to us the constantly observed facts of astral vision. Therefore, we venture to assume that when H. P. Blavatsky wrote this, she had in mind etheric vision, and not astral, and that the opportunity to apply this phrase to another, higher ability, about which she was not thinking at that moment, did not come to her to the head. In the following presentation, one must bear in mind the possession of this extraordinary, almost indescribable power. Thanks to it, every point of any solid body becomes completely accessible to the gaze of a clairvoyant, just as every point inside a circle is accessible to the gaze of a person looking at this circle from above.

But even this far from exhausts everything that this power gives to its owner. He begins to clearly see not only the inside and outside of each object, but also its astral duplicate.

Every atom and every molecule of physical matter has corresponding astral atoms and molecules, and the mass composed of them is clearly visible to our clairvoyant. Usually, the astral of any object is thrown somewhat beyond the physical part of it and, thus, metals, stones and other objects are surrounded by an astral aura.

One can immediately notice that even when studying inorganic matter, a person gains enormously by acquiring this vision. He not only sees the astral part of each object that was previously completely hidden from him; not only does he see much more in the physical structure of this object than he saw before, but even what was visible to him before, he now sees much more clearly and correctly.

You can immediately understand that his new vision is much closer to correct perception than physical vision. For example, if he looks astrally at a glass cube, then the sides of this cube will seem equal to him, and we know that this is so; whereas on the physical plane he sees the far side in perspective, that is, it appears to him smaller than the near side, and this, of course, is a simple illusion resulting from his physical limitations.

We will see even more clearly all the advantages of astral vision when we take into account all the new possibilities that it gives when observing animate objects. It shows the clairvoyant the aura of plants and animals; and consequently, in the latter case, the desires, emotions and thoughts that these animals may have are clearly revealed before his eyes.

But the clairvoyant will appreciate the value of this faculty most of all in his dealings with human beings, and will often be able to assist them much more effectively, guided by the directions which it gives him.

He will see the aura of a person as far as his astral body extends, and although the higher side of the person will still remain hidden from him, yet he will be able, with careful observation, on the basis of what is available to him, to study a lot concerning this higher side. His ability to see the etheric double will give him great advantages in determining any defect or disease of the nervous system, and from the appearance of the astral body he will be able to judge all the emotions, passions, desires and inclinations of the person before him and even many of his thoughts.

For him, a person will be surrounded by a luminous cloud of an astral aura, sparkling with all kinds of bright colors and constantly changing its color and luster with every variation of a person's thoughts or feelings. He will see this aura, bathed in the wonderful pink color of pure affection, the luxurious blue of devotion, the hard, dull brown color of selfishness, the bright crimson of anger, the terrible, gloomy red of sensuality, the bluish-gray tint of fear, the black clouds of hatred and malice; and many other indications, so easily read by an experienced eye, he will see. And it will be impossible for anyone to hide from him the true state of their feelings about anything.

In the astral aura, a clairvoyant can read temporary traces of the emotions passing through it at a given moment; and not only this: by the arrangement and proportions of the colors of the aura, when it is in a state of comparative peace, he can judge the general mood and character of its owner. The astral body constantly expresses man, insofar as it can be manifested on that plane, and from what is seen in it, fairly correct conclusions can be drawn about many things that belong to the higher planes. When our clairvoyant wants to judge the character of a given person, he is greatly helped by the thoughts of this person, since they are expressed on the astral plane, and, therefore, enter into the circle of his observations. The true seat of thought is on the mental or devacanic plane, and every thought first manifests itself there as a vibration of the spiritual body. But if it is in the least egoistic thought, or if it is in the least connected with excitement or desire, it will immediately descend to the astral plane and take upon itself the visible form of astral matter.

For most people, almost every thought falls under one of these headings, so that in fact their entire personality is completely clear to the astral vision of our friend, and their astral bodies, as well as the mental images continuously emanating from them, will be for him like an open book , in which their characteristics are written so clearly that it is very easy for him to read them.

We have pointed out some of the changes in the appearance of animate and inanimate objects when they are seen by a person possessing full clairvoyance of the astral plane. Let us now indicate what completely new objects the clairvoyant will see. He will now be conscious of a much greater fullness of nature in all directions, but his attention will be chiefly attracted to the living inhabitants of this new world.

The clairvoyant will be amazed by the changing forms of the endless stream of elemental essence, constantly agitating around him, often threatening him, almost always giving way before a certain effort of will. He will marvel at the vast army of beings temporarily summoned into separate existence from this ocean by good or bad thoughts and the desires of man. He will watch numerous nature spirits at their work or at their games; and sometimes he will be able to watch with increasing joy the magnificent flourishing of certain beings from the beautiful kingdom of the devas, who roughly correspond to the legions of angels in Christian terminology.

But perhaps the human inhabitants of the astral world will be of even more acute interest to him, and he will find that they can be divided into two large classes: those whom we call living, and those infinitely more living, whom we so recklessly and mistakenly call them dead. Among the first, he can sometimes meet someone awake and quite conscious, perhaps sent to bring him some news, or watching him carefully to see what progress he is making; most living people who are outside their physical bodies on the astral plane during sleep will rush by, too absorbed in themselves and therefore completely unconscious of what is happening around them.

Before him will be crowds of recently deceased and among them he will find all degrees of consciousness and development and all shades of character, because death, which seems to our limited vision to be such an unconditional change, in fact does not change anything in the person himself. The day after his death, he is exactly the same as he was the day before, with the same inclinations, the same properties, the same virtues and vices, with the only difference that he threw away his physical body; but the loss of this body does not change it any more than the throwing off of outer clothing. Thus, among the dead the student will find smart and stupid people, kind-hearted and gloomy, serious and frivolous, spiritual and sensual, just like among the living.

Since he will be able not only to see the dead, but also to speak with them, he will be able to bring them great benefit and give them information and instructions that are extremely important to them. Many of them are in a state of complete amazement and confusion, and sometimes of acute anguish, because they find the phenomena of the new world so unlike all children's legends, and everything that popular religion in the West communicates regarding this transcendentally important question; and therefore a true friend in need will be a person who understands this new world and can give different explanations.

A person who has perfect mastery of these abilities can be useful to both the living and the dead in many other ways;In addition to astral beings, he will see astral corpses - shadows and shells of all degrees of destruction;

Another amazing result of complete astral clairvoyance is that now a person no longer has interruptions in consciousness. When he lies down at night, he gives his physical body the rest it needs, while he himself goes to wander in a much more convenient astral vehicle. In the morning he returns to his physical body and enters it again, but at the same time does not lose either consciousness or memory of what happened between the two states. Thus, he can live, so to speak, a double life, which at the same time merges into one - and be useful throughout his entire life, instead of spending a third of his existence uselessly in complete unconsciousness.

It is possible that another strange power will manifest itself in him (however, complete control over it belongs rather to an even higher, devacanic ability): he will be able to increase at will the slightest physical or astral particles to any desired size, as if using a microscope, although there is no such microscope (and there will hardly be one) that would have even a thousandth part of this psychic magnifying power. Thanks to it, the hypothetical molecule and atom postulated by science become a visible and living reality for the occult student, and by carefully observing them, he finds that their structure is much more complex than scientists have hitherto thought. This power also allows him to observe various electrical, magnetic and other etheric processes with keen interest and very closely. If some specialists in these branches of science could develop in themselves the ability to see those things about which they write so easily, amazing and wonderful discoveries could be expected.

This is one of the "siddhis" or powers described in Eastern books that accrue to the lot of a person who devotes himself to spiritual development, although the name by which it is mentioned there may not be immediately recognizable. It is spoken of as “the ability to make oneself large or small at will”; the reason for this definition, which seems so strangely contrary to fact, is that in essence the trick is done by precisely the method indicated in these ancient books. The world of infinitely small quantities can be seen so clearly through the use of a temporary visual mechanism of incomprehensible subtlety; and in the same way (or rather in the opposite way), that is, with the help of a temporary strong increase in the size of the mechanism used, it becomes possible to increase the breadth of vision - in the physical sense, and also, we hope, in the moral sense - far beyond the limits about which only science could ever dream of being accessible to humans. Thus the ability to change magnitude actually resides in the vehicle of the student's consciousness, and not in anything outside it. And the old eastern book, in the end, establishes this more precisely than we do.

T the trained explorer, possessed of complete astral vision, can see into the infinitely wider world into which this vision leads him. But we did not talk about the amazing spiritual change that will occur in him as a result of the fact that he will know through experience about the existence of the soul, about its post-mortem experiences, about the operation of the laws of karma and about other things of high significance. The difference between the deepest mental conviction and the exact knowledge gained through direct personal experience must be felt in order to be appreciated.

You need to sit comfortably, so that nothing distracts you, look at yourself from the outside, concentrate, look inside yourself and repeat the self-hypnosis phrase without any meaning:

- “Open your third eye.”

Repeat, repeat and repeat.

Focus on the image of the one you need, on the face, figure, clothes. Reset your intuition and get in touch with the information field. Select the desired paniformation from it.

A moment will come - and an unknown nerve will highlight in your brain, as if on a screen, what you need to see.

At the same time, you should not express any emotions, observing dispassionately, without interference, shouting, without boasting, without calculations and mathematical calculations (“sit and watch”), watch everything CALMLY.

Often the event seen by the third eye has already happened. It cannot be canceled, that is, when communicating with the pan-information of the system, which provides absolutely reliable information, you must remember: what you saw has already happened to you and to other people whose destinies intersected with yours. If someone hopes to avoid the inevitable, then others will not allow this.

Lie on your back and roll your eyes clockwise with your eyes open. Make a full turn, as if you were looking at a huge clock, but do it as quickly as possible. Your mouth should be open and relaxed. Thus? concentrated energy is directed to the third eye.

Second technique

Concentration on the Third Eye

1. This technique is convenient to practice during the day. For example, when you are just walking down the street or riding in public transport to work.

2. In order to practice this technique, concentrate in the area between the eyebrows and a little deeper

3. Concentrate whenever possible. There should be some pleasant pressure in the area between the eyebrows.

4. Increase that pressure. Try to feel as if you are looking from the center of your head through the area between the eyebrows.

Third technique

The body should be so relaxed that you can forget about it; that's the whole point. If you can forget about the body, then the pose is correct. Thus, any posture in which you can somehow forget about the body is correct. Just let you be comfortable, as comfortable as possible.

And throw away the old traditional idea that in order to meditate you have to be uncomfortable in one way or another. This is stupid, just stupid. For three minutes, massage the area of ​​the third eye, the space between the two eyebrows: bring your palm to your forehead, so that the bottom of your palm is against the area between the eyebrows, and massage from bottom to top, very slowly, very softly and very lovingly.

The inner feeling should be as if you are trying to open a window. The third eye is a window and this massage will help. If after three minutes you feel that it has not affected your energy, start massaging in a circular motion in a clockwise direction. There are two types of people. For some people, the third eye opens using a bottom-up movement, and for others, it opens using a top-down movement. The bottom-up movement works for most people, so try it first.

And then you literally need to visualize a small point of light between the two eyebrows, in the area of ​​the center of the third eye. To feel it, you can place a bindi there - a small decoration that Indian women wear in the third eye area, or put a small white, transparent quartz stone (whatever is available). You can put it on to feel where this point is. Then close your eyes and look at this point of light. Imagine something burning, like a star, and look up without raising your head.

In fact, this particular point is not important, the whole point is to keep the eyes looking up. When the eyes look up, the body comes to rest. This is what happens when you fall into deep sleep. The same eye position helps in meditation. So it is only a means to help the eyes look up.

Direct your eyes upward - and if you sit in a chair, this will be easier than sitting on the floor. Don't cross your legs; let both feet simply rest on the floor. And never set an alarm clock. You can put a clock nearby, and when you feel like it, just open your eyes, look at the clock and close it again; it won't disturb anything at all. But never set an alarm and ask anyone to knock on the door in sixty minutes, because that will be a shock and the whole system will become uneasy.

Let this last for an hour. If you can do it twice, so much the better, that's very good. If that much time is difficult to find, do it only once a day, but continue for at least an hour: the longer the better.

Fourth technique

1. Close your eyes and turn your attention to the third eye area. Imagine an open blue flower or an open funnel

2. You can imagine an open flower and stimulate the chakra through the energy channel in the spine area

3. Can be imagined as an open flower and stimulated with energy

4. You can simply stimulate the third eye area with energy. Through our hands we direct energy to the third eye area

Effect – burning, tingling, slight itching, wind, pressure may occur in the third eye area. With a high concentration of energy, pressure on the third eye chakra can occur and a migraine-like condition may occur.

Fifth technique

We place a lit candle in front of us; the room should be illuminated only by it. Look at the candle flame, trying not to blink. When you want to blink, you should close your eyes and look at the flame, trying to see the colors that make it up, like bright blue, bright yellow, red, green, and so on, as many as you can see. Close your eyes again and look at the flame remaining on the retina. So for a few minutes.

Learning to see the air

Etheric vision is the very initial stage of vision. Those of you who can see the ether, but do not yet master the astral and other stages of vision, can train with everyone else, this will only benefit you. Perform in twilight. Sit or lie down, relax, and clear your mind of thoughts if possible. Extend your hand in front of you, fingers slightly apart, looking at your hand. But in such a way, as if you were looking through your fingers.

Look like this for several minutes, trying to see a glow around your fingers. Try blinking less often than usual. Relax and look through your fingers, trying to cover a little space directly next to your fingers.

This way you adjust your third eye, bring it into focus. Some people find it faster if they focus on just one finger rather than all of them at once. We chose, for example, the index finger, look at it from a distance of 30-40 centimeters from the eyes, look as if through the finger, try to catch the change in the glow around the finger. Usually after such training everyone begins to see etheric energy. Next, the ability must be developed.

Sixth technique

Learning to see the glow around your head

To work you will need any red item. For example, your favorite mug, book, or any red object, preferably its size should be at least 10 by 10 centimeters, and a white sheet of paper, such as a landscape sheet. We place a red object in front of us on the table.

We sit down and look at it for a few minutes. Then we sharply remove the object and look at a white sheet of paper. You will see a green glow in the shape of your item. This is his astral color.

Perhaps many would like to see more than the people around them. This undoubtedly provides a number of advantages. The article will tell you how to develop such an extrasensory ability as astral vision. This phenomenon may seem fantastic, but with a more in-depth study it becomes clear that an alternative vision is not at all a figment of the imagination and every person can develop it with a strong desire. The motive is both a passion for the unknown and simple curiosity. In any case, working on its development will be very exciting.

What it is

Neurophysiologists studied astral vision. Vyacheslav Bronnikov taught children both blind and with normal vision. As a result, they could perfectly navigate in space, read, and recognize objects blindfolded. Of course, these studies caused some skepticism. But it was soon dispelled. Bronnikov began to use special masks that did not allow light to pass through, and the children were still seen in bandages.

How did they do it? According to the inventor of the technique, during training the sixth sense is activated, which, due to the lack of necessity in everyday life, is in a sleeping state. A person becomes able to see against the background of the veil that has shrouded his eyes due to blindness.

These results subsequently interested such brave scientists as Natalya Bekhtereva and Yuri Pytyev. They continued to work with graduates of the Bronnikov school. A number of studies were carried out under the leadership of Bekhtereva. Scientists recorded an electroencephalogram in a normal state and with a blindfold. The results showed that when alternative vision is turned on, the electrical activity of the brain becomes more frequent. Apparently, the brain starts a different mode and uses .

Bronnikov Vyacheslav Mikhailovich

Now it becomes clear that astral vision is the ability to see and feel the surrounding objective world, objects through the eyelids or through a wall. Moreover, you can see what is behind you.

Research confirms the theory that every person can learn astral vision. There is no need for any superpowers or innate clairvoyance potential. It has always been laid down in our dormant state. Just as a bodybuilder gains mass, you can train your astral vision.

Before moving on to the practical part, it is important to realize that there is a reason that some aspects of feelings are inaccessible to most. an alternative vision for fun or for profit is unlikely to bear edible fruit. Hidden abilities are suitable only for higher purposes. Healers use astral vision when diagnosing their patients. This way you can see the internal organs and.

A clear example of an alternative vision:

This skill will also be useful for practicing self-awareness. The more and more widely we understand the world, the more perfect we become.

Development

Let's look at the most effective ones, according to practitioners. All you need is a table with a chair. Sit down, relax, take a meditative state. It is important to be calm and not be distracted by anything, to concentrate on your actions.

Workout with a table

Rub your palms together and focus on the feeling of warmth between them. Bring one hand to the surface of the table, without touching it, a couple of centimeters higher. Slowly swipe from edge to edge of the item. Keep your attention on the sensations under your palm. If the structure is glass, you can feel its coolness and smoothness, but the wooden one will be rough.

The next step is to close your eyes or put on a blindfold in case you are tempted to peek. Repeat the steps from the previous exercise, and when you reach the edge of the tabletop, you can feel the boundaries. Place a flat object, for example a plate. Slowly move your hand at a distance of 10 centimeters. You will notice a difference in the feel of where the item is placed.

Next, make the task more difficult. Ideal if it is possible to perform a workout in an unfamiliar room. But your own room is also suitable. The purpose of the exercise is to learn how to navigate in space with your eyes closed. You need to put on a bandage and slowly move around the room, try to feel objects, and not bump into them.

Exercises must be performed regularly. Not everything will work out right away. But if you want to achieve your goal, you will certainly learn to see the world with your eyes closed.

Visualization

Your task is to most clearly recreate the picture of what is happening around you, based on sounds and smells. It is convenient to use it in everyday life. All you need is the ability to concentrate.

While walking in the park, sit on a bench and listen to the birds singing or the conversations of passers-by. Visualize with your eyes closed the clearest picture - what tree the bird is sitting on, its color and size. What people passing by are wearing, facial features, and even what topic they are talking about. What kind of flowers emit the aromas that reach you?

This practice develops subtle perception. In the future, you can learn to better understand people and capture their mood. Be more sensitive to the world around you.

Browsing

The essence of the exercise is to understand which eye sees which objects. The scanning is performed as follows. You need to focus on one object and watch for 10 seconds. Afterwards, concentrate on it only with your left eye and then with your right. In this case, both eyes must be open, and only the focus of attention needs to be changed.

In this video, the astral pilgrim, Yuri Grechushkin, will talk about possible problems:

Once you have mastered switching your dominant eye, use a meditation object. Place it at arm's length. Cover one eye with your palm and look at the object with it. A regular approach to this exercise is advisable; it requires practice, but you will immediately understand when the experience of vision comes.

It exists to awaken astral vision - to complete the missing parts of objects. This is another exercise convenient for everyday use. Looking at the door, imagine its reverse part, and what happens behind it, and so with any object. Imagine what things that are inaccessible to the eye look like.

This exercise focuses on what you will later see even through walls. And it is also important that this creates greater awareness.

The role of peripheral perception

The technique for improving it is simple and will not take much time. Focus on any selected object in front of you, spread your arms out to the sides, parallel to the floor. The task is to see both hands with peripheral vision.

Find out about upcoming events, contact the inhabitants of mysterious worlds, look beyond the ordinary and everyday... What could be more exciting than enriching yourself with new knowledge? Moreover, for this you do not need to be an exceptional person - it is enough to awaken the abilities that for the time being lie dormant in each of us!

And yet, how to develop clairvoyance on your own, where should you start? First of all, you need to decide on your desires. Perhaps you want others? Or are you striving to gain the ability to see the astral plane and its inhabitants? Choose the direction you need and get to work!

How to open astral vision

There are two simple techniques based on visualization (mental representation of certain images). The first method is called grounding. When you hear a sound or smell something, you should try to visualize in your mind an image that will be a continuation of the impression received.

For example, two people are talking under the window. Try to imagine what they look like, what they are wearing, and why they ended up at this particular time and place. Or, let’s say, a car drove down the street. Try to feel like the driver of this car, see the world through his eyes. This is a very useful exercise for those who want to learn how to develop intuition and clairvoyance on their own.

Seeing with eyes closed

Do you want to know how to develop clairvoyance on your own? In this case, you can familiarize yourself with one of the simplest techniques called “vision”. You should take a comfortable, relaxed position, either sitting or lying down. Close your eyes and try to get rid of extraneous thoughts.

Your task is to observe the visual effects that occur on the back of the eyelids. After a while, you will begin to notice colored spots, stains, and tiny lines. The average workout duration is from 5 to 15 minutes. Over time, the unclear shapes will begin to form into images that you will learn to interpret.

What does astral vision give?

Having mastered this ability, you will be able to see the aura of people nearby. This will allow you to become aware of the real thoughts and feelings of others. The everyday world will no longer be the same as it was before. For example, with the help of “second” vision you can read any page of a closed book, you can see through walls and other obstacles.

In addition, you will be able to see the inhabitants of the astral plane and come into contact with them. This method is often used by those who want to achieve their goals (spoil damage, find treasure, etc.). However, you should remember that there are only two ways to force an otherworldly entity to fulfill your desire. To do this, you must either have a strong will or offer the inhabitant of the astral something in exchange for the service rendered.

The first level of clairvoyance is associated with “etheric vision” or the ability to perceive subtle (ethereal) entities and beings. At the same time, according to Leadbeater, etheric vision allows one to perceive “various orders of beings, elementals and others, whose bodies are incapable of reflecting rays within the ordinary visible spectrum. Among these beings are some of the lower spirits of nature, whose bodies are composed of denser etheric matter. To this class belong almost all the fairies, gnomes, brownies, about whom so many stories have been preserved in the mountains of Scotland and Ireland and in secluded country places around the world.”

“Ethereal vision” also includes the ability to see through dense barriers, screens, as well as the ability to see the internal organs of a person. Typical examples of ethereal vision are the Chinese woman Zheng Xianling and her brother, who have a unique gift inherited from their grandfather. So, Zheng is engaged in diagnostics - she is able to see internal organs. Her brother helps the police by watching criminals through the walls.

A similar “inner vision” was possessed by the Yoshkar-Ola healer A. Bezdenezhnykh, who was able to “see” internal organs, as well as the Bulgarian clairvoyant M. Pencheva and the Spanish healer M. Tejada. At the same time, the manifestation of the latter’s gift was witnessed by Doctor of Technical Sciences V. Azhazha, known in our country for his ufological research. It should be noted that such an ability is by no means uncommon among healers.

For example, Yu. Vorobyova from Donetsk also possessed a similar gift, in whom these abilities were discovered after a state of clinical death resulting from an electric shock.

The fact that this type of perception has nothing to do with physical vision is indicated by the ability of many clairvoyants to perfectly see their surroundings blindfolded. And D. Savkin from Rostov-on-Don sees even better blindfolded than with physical vision. This fact was fully confirmed during research in France. And such abilities are not unique. Back in the 19th century in the United States, Andrew Jackson Davis was very famous for his ability to “see through walls” and observe human energy bodies.

“Astral vision” is already associated with the perception of other parallel realities and creatures belonging to them. It was this type of clairvoyance that Swedenborg initially discovered when he became able to communicate with “angels and demons.” Astral vision allows not only to see internal organs, but also to conduct energy diagnostics and perceive the aura - the energetic shell of people. Based on the shape, color and intensity of the glow of this aura, one can draw definite conclusions about the health, inclinations and character of a person.

Tibetan Lama Lobsang Rampa described this ability as follows: “The aura surrounding the body, regardless of who manages to see it and how, is nothing more than the life force burning inside a living being. We believe that this force, like lightning, is of electrical origin... Subsequently, I learned to diagnose a person’s health status by the color and intensity of the aura. In the same way - by changing the colors in the aura - I could accurately determine whether a person was telling the truth or lying.”

Indian magicians also have a similar gift. This is how K. Castaneda described him:
“...To the one who sees, people look like luminous beings, consisting of something similar to fibers of light, which, wrapping from front to back, form a spatial structure shaped like an egg.”(“Separate Reality”).

“Don Juan explained that the luminosities of people are filled with formations, which can be desires, problems, sorrows, worries, and so on. He said that only a very powerful magician could decipher the meaning of these formations and that I should be content to simply see the general outlines of people.”(“Tales of Power”).

According to Charles Leadbeater, the perception of the etheric double allows us to judge a person’s health. The perception of the astral body allows us to judge the emotions, passions, desires and inclinations of a person. The development of astral vision allows a person to make conscious “astral travel” during sleep. Magicians call this practice the “art of dreaming.”

This is how Vanga described the manifestation of such a gift in herself: “When a person comes to me, I have the feeling that a window opens in my head through which I observe pictures, and the life of this person passes before my eyes, like a film, and above me I hear a “voice” that tells me “What exactly needs to be conveyed to the visitor.”

As we see in this case, the clairvoyant receives information in the form of a “voice”. But it also happens that the information received by a clairvoyant comes visually in the form of certain pictures. The Indian magician Don Juan repeatedly demonstrated this type of simple clairvoyance to C. Castaneda.

Meanwhile, some clairvoyants are able to consciously use their gift, while for others this gift manifests itself spontaneously. Temporary clairvoyance also includes the manifestation of this gift under the influence of psychotropic substances and certain ceremonies. This is the degree of clairvoyance of sorcerers and shamans, and unlike a developed gift, it is the initial stage of the manifestation of clairvoyance.

Glimpses of clairvoyance can also appear in people with an unbalanced psyche and poor physical health. Such people find themselves “open” to the negative influence of entities of the astral world on them. Similar phenomena include the perception of entities of the lower subplanes of the astral world by an alcoholic in a state of “delirium tremens.” It is the vulnerability of an alcoholic or drug addict to these entities and the destruction of their energetic “framework” that makes these entities visible to them.

Often, phenomena associated with clairvoyance are associated with the development of “astral vision and hearing.” What does this mean? As we have already noted, a clairvoyant receives information in visual or audio form at the energy level and at the same time perceives it not with the physical, but with his energy bodies (etheric, astral, etc.). This precisely explains the fact that ordinary, “physical” senses do not receive such information.

Leadbeater points out the large role of “energy centers” in the development of energy shells, and, consequently, the abilities corresponding to them. So, we again come across chakras - these spiral-shaped vortexes of human energy, which are a kind of “communication channels” with all sorts of worlds of multidimensional reality of the space-time continuum. Thus, by developing energy centers, one can travel consciousness into the past and future, which is precisely a type of travel of consciousness in time or clairvoyance in time.

Shamanism researcher K. Meadows also shares this opinion: “Subtle energies are drawn into the energy body through a system of rotating disk-shaped energy funnels located vertically along its center. These spiraling discs are more commonly known as chakras. In the Sanskrit language of ancient India, the word chakrum meant "spiral wheel", although the retracting motion of the chakra is more similar to a whirlpool than a spinning disk. However, chakras are more than energy centers; it is the gateway to new levels of awareness. The initiation rituals that marked the passage of neophytes through the “gate” in the Western esoteric tradition (schools of mysticism) were in fact attempts to gain access through the chakras to other levels of awareness. This ultimately entitled the initiate to the title of seer or adept.”(“Where eagles fly”)

To apply clairvoyance directly to our physical world, it is necessary to develop the coarsest of energy bodies - the etheric double, which is sometimes also called the terms “double”, “magician’s body”, “dream body”. Dreaming is precisely one of the effective magical techniques that helps “teach” the etheric body all kinds of phenomena that are inaccessible to us in the physical body. It is no coincidence that many prophets received their revelations during sleep, people of art found the intent of their works, and famous scientists came to fundamental decisions. The phenomenon of “prophetic dreams” is also interesting in this aspect as one of the ways to obtain information about the future.

Of course, the attitude of the orthodox part of scientists towards the phenomenon of clairvoyance is strictly negative and skeptical. But this is just a weak attempt to cover up one’s fear of the unknown, one’s powerlessness to explain the phenomenon within traditional “scientific” frameworks, and a confession of one’s own incompetence caused by lagging behind advanced scientific thought, which has never been afraid to “break” the outdated framework of generally accepted scientific dogmas.

Here is what V.I. Safonov wrote about this: “Can every person believe in the reality of the experiments and observations I describe? No, there can be no illusions on this score. And if we are talking about the scientific world, then the absolute majority of its representatives “know,” alas, a priori, what can be and what cannot be.
The skepticism of many people that arises when reading such messages is usually based on an assessment of their own capabilities. But skeptics do not take into account that their personal abilities do not reflect, and cannot reflect, all the capabilities of both humanity as a whole and individuals. But self-confidence in the infallibility of one’s point of view leads to marking time.

On the other hand, there are phenomena that are not so easy to understand. The formation of man is far from complete, and it is a mistake to think that it proceeds evenly, without taking into account the individual characteristics of each. An avalanche of facts from the past and present convincingly indicates that in the human psyche lies the ability of so-called spiritual vision, or, as they more often say, clairvoyance.”

The famous clairvoyant A. Vul considers the two main ways to achieve clairvoyance to be phantom visualization of an event or object in one’s consciousness and traveling in space and time of our energy body, “double,” energy “double,” which is also called the “dream body.”

Here's what he writes in one of his works: “So, you can build an image of an event or object in your mind, in the space next to you, or you can “simply” send your double to the desired point in space-time. How can this be done and when is it advisable to choose a specific option?

Often an image appears before us by chance. In a dream, usually half asleep at the moment of falling asleep or before waking up. When very tired. At a moment of severe stress, shock, illness. Finally, very often, during clinical death. It is believed that in the latter case, an astral exit always occurs...

Any of the options can be implemented deliberately and purposefully. But then the person must either already have the appropriate abilities, or specially study. To receive information, he must enter an altered state of consciousness, characterized by relaxation and a certain focus of attention, or into meditation, which is practically the same thing.”

So, despite the considered ways and methods of achieving clairvoyance, its types are united by one thing - altered states of consciousness, without which the manifestation of this phenomenon is impossible at all. But it is meditation and similar techniques for turning off the “mental dialogue” that are the safest for health and contribute to the further development of this gift.
