Honoring All Hallow's Eve: Intuition & Crystals to Enhance Mind Power

Tuning in to any energy is the ability to quiet the mind, allowing your inner self, or intuition, to perceive
truth. By practicing this art, we develop a sensitivity toward inner information and the ability to condition our
mind to listen on a much more subtle level. This developing can allow us the ability to sense energy and actually perceive on an even more subconscious plane.

Techniques are vast and varied and include personal energy work, meditation, yoga, qi gong, visualization, physical exercise, prayer or your own personal techniques, all of which can be used in calming and clearing the mind and achieving clearer perception. Greater self control and self balance, awareness, inner peace and connective energy to the source of truth are all important in the path to attunement.
As our minds are conditioned to listen in silence, responses come quicker and clearer to us.
