Psychic Glossary

Absent Healing

Healing that takes place when the healer is not in direct contact with the person to be healed, they may be a few or many thousands of miles away but use energy to bring about a healing state. The healer is thought to tap into that healing energy and direct it to the recipient to allow the body to utilize the energy and heal itself. Many believe that there is a vast pool of such healing universal energy that can be tapped into by anyone and used for healing any living thing.

Akashic Records

A record of carefully recorded Memories of all and everyone’s, good and bad deeds and events and experiences collated since the beginning of time, believed by some mystical doctrines to be stored permanently in a spiritual substance (Akasha) A bit like a Library of everything! Some believe these records can be read and accessed by psychic individuals.

Altered State of Consciousness

A term used to refer to any state of consciousness that is different from 'normal' states of waking or sleeping. ASCs include hypnosis, trance, and meditative experience. This state does not necessarily have paranormal connotations however, many psychics, psychometrist and mediums have been shown to reach this state as they perform psychic services for others.

Angels and Guardian Angels

Benevolent spiritual beings that help people in need. Many cultures firmly believe in Angels and Guardian Angles. They are thought to be spirits whom have chosen never to incarnate (be born in to the world and experience it) But have devoted themselves to helping those of us who have. Apparition A visual appearance (hallucination, in some cases), often of a person or scene, generally experienced in a waking or hypnagogic lucid state. It is difficult to put all of the reports down to Hallucinations, particularly when many people are present and all 'see' the same thing!

Astral Body or the Ka also thought of as the soul

A term used by occultists, spiritualists and many cultures to refer to an etheric copy or "double" of the person's physical body. The astral body is believed to be separable (detachable) from the physical body during astral projection (out of body experience) and at the time of death. As far back and beyond such cultures as the Ancient Egyptian believed in the double or astral body.

Astral Plane

In this Solar System, it is believed that there are five major planes of consciousness. The first being the physical plane, or earth plane on which we and any other physical life forms The second is thought to be the astral plane, which is a plane of existence that bears a striking resemblance to the earth plane. Almost in the same way that we are thought to have a soul, this can be thought off as the earth's soul or astral. The lower levels of the astral plane (sometimes referred to as the etheric plane) are where we may find ghosts, lost spirits, and the souls of those who died suddenly or violently and are earth bound as they don't realise that they have passed over and have not moved on to the next plane. According to some the spirits of those whose bodies are being kept alive by artificial means are also to be found here. The higher astral planes are where the more evolved souls rest and re-gather their resources, and reflect in order to prepare for their next incarnation. The planes beyond the astral are the mental (Or heaven), the Buddhic, and the plane of full solar consciousness.

Aura

A field of energy known and even viewable now thanks to Kirlean Photography surrounding all living creatures. Some clairvoyants and psychics claim to be able to see the aura (generally as a luminous, colored halo). It is also thought that health, disease, and emotional states may be determined from the various colors. Psychics who can view the aura are proported to be responsible for such well known sayings as “Green with envy", "Red with rage" etc. Channeling Receiving messages and inspiration from discarnate entities, either the psychics own guide or perhaps from loved ones of the person seeking the reading, information and communication.

Cellular Memory

A theory proposing that human body cells, as well as the brain, contain keys to our personalities, tastes and histories. This means that at the physical level of a single cell, the body records all our life experiences, and thus lays the groundwork for the future. Illness, blindness and other physical problems as well as psychological conditions may result, but that isn't all that can happen. Cellular memory affects just about everything we might do in life, often in a very dysfunctional way. Therapists use Cellular Memory Release (CMR), a specialized form of kinesiology, to access the healing energy contained in all of us and thus start the healing process that will set everything right. Scientist have noted that in cases of neglected children, whom did nor receive love and care but still physically survived their ordeals, had missing and dead parts in their brains. As the cells had quite literally decided to die off. Sadly the brain cells often most affected are to be found in the parts of the brain that affect communication and empathy. One can only suppose that their cells decided that those parts of the brains were not needed sadly. This cellular memory however, may also explain why "Psychic" ability appears to run in families.

Chakra

One of the eight energy centers placed at various points along the spine of any living vertebrate. In human, the root chakra is posited at the base of the spine, and is related to the survival instinct and body consciousness.
