More Than Your Five Senses

Outdated Words

Subtle Energy Alchemy’s February 1, 2025 newsletter, Energy Sharing, opened the discussion about common words in energy practices that still carry outdated, incorrect, or limiting meanings.

Those definitions frequently raise eyebrows or cause some to snicker. As a result, they warp or restrict the true scope of their meaning.

Our February 1^st discussion began with the word, “Psychic.”  Let’s strip away the old meanings and look at it from a self-development perspective.

Our Five Senses

Seeing  /  Hearing  /  Smelling  /  Tasting  /  Feeling

It often begins with at least one of these senses being more natural or stronger than the others even when we do not realize it. As we become more comfortable with who we are, our body relaxes and our mind can quiet. Because of this, we can open to new experiences through that stronger sense.

This is especially true if we take time each day or evening to quiet by relaxing and centering ourselves. It becomes a focused, deeper connection with our inner self than is possible during daily activities and responsibilities which pull our focus outward. 

Meditation is excellent for quieting, but movement practices such as Yoga, Taichi and Qigong are also excellent. Explore to find one that feels right for you. 

Without the constant use of our five senses engaged in daily life activities, times of quiet allows us to sensitize with different energy vibrations. Those vibrations will begin their entry through one of our five physical senses.

My Favorite Way To Quiet

I began by standing still in Nature. Over time, it took me into a quiet so deep I could hear a single leaf move, feel the air beneath a bird’s wings. This practice remains my favorite approach to quieting and centering. It is also an excellent way to develop intuition and deepen connections with energy vibrations outside ourselves.

The Real Meaning Of “Psychic”

And that, my friends, is the simple beginning of what is called “psychic abilities.”

It is the expansion and opening to different energy vibrations. The first steps are usually through our physical senses.
