John: One of the questions I'm often asked is, am I psychic? Not meaning me, but you watching at home.
Audience member: Do you have premonitions?
John: I have them quite often.
AM: If it's something bad, how do you deal with that.
John: 10 out of 10 times, when somebody is having an intuitive flash, it's going to be negative. And the reason why it's negative is not because of any other reason except for the fact that you remember it. You might be getting positive things as a thing coming up, where you might be getting things, but you don't react the same way. It doesn't have the same impact on you. But if you continue to develop your abilities, that would lessen and you would get other types of information. It's your guide's way of making you pay attention to what's happening around you.
John: Today we will address those issues and how to tap into your ability. And my friend, Sandy Anastasi, is the only person who can claim to have been my teacher. Welcome back.
Sandy Anastasi: Thank you.
(Applause)
John: So I know that you've been doing readings for many, many years because you're one of the few people who read me but you've been teaching for a lot of years. Because you teach more than I teach, how would you suggest somebody begins to tab into their intuition and psychic abilities?
SA: The first tool I try to give to my students is to learn to meditate. I believe that everyone is psychic. Everyone picks up intuitive information all the time in many different ways but if you
don't have a calm center within yourself, you don't have a way of knowing if that information is yours or somebody elses.
John: I confess. I hated meditation.
SA: I know. (smiles)
John: What do you think of when you think of meditation? You think of some dude in a robe climbing up a mountain, the whole -- you know. (Laughter) And it's not what you would think. You know, you could be watching tv, you could be reading a book. It's focusing. Do you do it alone, do you suggest tapes? What are the options?
SA: Those are great options. One of the best ways are through Tai Chi moving meditations. A lot of people get into drawing or painting, total focus on a canvas. And long-distance runners, as they pass through the pain-threshold, they're free. That's a form of meditation. So different people can utilize meditative techniques that are physically oriented but the traditional one is to sit and focus on your breath and still the mind until there's no awareness of anything around you.
Please don't use guided visualization as meditation. There are a lot of people out there saying, I will teach you how to meditate. Let's guide you through being a bird. That's the opposite. It opens you to suggestion. Don't confuse that with meditation. The object of meditation is mental focus. It teaches you to focus your mind so you're not susceptible to other suggestions.
I say, first get yourself a binder that you call a do-good book. And you're going to record in it all of your psychic experiences, even little ones, you thought of somebody and the telephone rang and they were on it. Those are psychic do-goods. You need that positive reenforcement and saying to yourself, yes, I'm doing this.
And the second book is a telepathy workbook. Because I suggest you get a partner together to send and receive. To be able to see where you are when you're not physically with the person. And the result of that, telepathy exercise is in the second book. You get feedback and gain control over what you're learning.
And the third book, people should record their dreams. And analyze them. For the average person, the best way to get in touch with your own inner self, and psychic self, is your dreams. Your higher self is a great place to do it.
John: And you encourage somebody to develop their own intuition and tap into psychic abilities, you're doing so not to turn out professional psychics to do readings for other people. That's not the reason. How do you define that?
SA: Personally, I think that everyone is psychic. Everyone -- if I had my way, children who are 5 years old would be learning to develop their abilities instead of closing them down. If your psychic abilities are developed, it will enhance every aspect of your life, you will have better insight, make better joyces, get along with others. It's a phenomenal tool to have in your life. Out of the people that I train, 10% of them maybe become professional psychics. Most people they train go into their life and utilize those abilities to be a better husband, better wife, have greatest insight into their families and children
John: Thank you for being on the show and answers questions and sharing some more of your teaching and knowledge for everybody that watches Crossing Over. Thanks again. (Applause)
