How to awaken the sixth sense?

The sixth sense is an ability that many animals have to perceive something that is not physically present or has not yet happened. For example, you can sense that something is going to happen to someone and have this experience before it occurs.

Like any skill, the sixth sense can be trained, awakened or developed, so you can benefit from this extrasensory sensitivity also called intuition.

To awaken your sixth sense, you will initially need to open the channel that expands beyond basic sensory perception. This is done so that you can perceive what lies behind the lenses of the five basic senses (smell, touch, taste, sight and hearing).

So, in order for you to have a guide to point the way during your journey, we have brought in this article a quick guide with essential tips for you to put your skills into practice. Thus, you can become a more intuitive and psychic person.

Plus, best of all, you won't need to buy any materials. All you need to achieve this goal is yourself. Get ready to unveil the veil of your intuition next!

A lot of attention to dreams

Dreams are expressions of the unconscious about feelings, thoughts and ideas. Therefore, they contain extremely important information to understand everything that your conscious and your five senses cannot perceive.

So, as a first step in your journey to awakening your sixth sense, you need to pay close attention to them. Understand how below!

The power of dreaming

The power of dreaming is quite broad. Besides being part of a natural mechanism of our brain to store memories and things you have learned, it also helps to process difficult feelings and thoughts. From a spiritual point of view, dreams can be considered as messages from the divine.

For this reason, it is very common for entities, spiritual guides and even divinities to contact people through dreams. Thus, they can be prepared for what is to come (in the case of premonitory dreams) or decipher what has happened or is happening (revelatory dreams).

Because of this ability to make contact with that which is not picked up by the five senses, dreams are excellent ways to connect with your sixth sense. So pay attention to them.

Attention to detail

In order to understand the messages brought by dreams, it is necessary that you take note of their symbols. Moreover, since the same symbol can be interpreted differently according to the context, it is essential that you pay attention to details.

For example, if you dreamed of a snake, a type of dream interpreted as indicating bad news or betrayal, what color was the snake? What happened to it in relation to you in the dream? Did you just see it or kill it? Were you bitten or chased?

All of this is important for you to understand the message of your dream. For example, while being bitten by a snake is a sign of betrayal, killing one is an excellent indication of overcoming. Therefore, every detail of the dream is valuable, so take note of them.

Keep a dream journal

Since dreams are able to point to images and symbols that can be interpreted with the intuitive charge they carry, it is extremely important that you make a note in what we call a dream journal.

The dream diary is nothing more than a kind of diary in which you will write down all the details of your dreams. This includes information such as what you dreamed, when you dreamt it, where you were, if you had contact with any theme of the dream throughout the day, as well as other information that you deem important.

In addition, you can draw what you see in your dreams if you want a more illustrated journal. To do this, choose a notebook that is used only for this purpose. If you don't have notebooks, create a notepad folder on your phone especially for writing down your dreams.

Write down everyday thoughts

Making notes of your thoughts throughout the day is an excellent strategy for developing your sixth sense. Not only is this practice ideal for developing self-reflection, but it can also demonstrate how your thought patterns are and what psychic impressions or feelings you can pick up and reproduce in words as you write. Understand why below!

Give importance to "randomness"

When taking note of what is going on around you, try to write freely and let the stream of consciousness follow and write down even what you judge as random. These little randomnesses may be messages from your subconscious or psychic impressions that are being picked up at that moment.

In addition, it is possible that you may hear messages from entities or beings from other planes during the process, in a practice known as psychography. Therefore, this is an essential technique for you to align part of your consciousness with something beyond this plane, which appears randomly, before the rational part of your mind intervenes in the process.

Do not search for meaning until you have completed the line of reasoning

When you go to write, sit in a quiet place where you won't be distracted. Preferably have a paper without staves, so your thoughts can flow without the aid of a template or linearity. Then, let the automatic writing process begin and write until you feel exhausted by your own thoughts.

To begin writing, think about questions like: what have you been thinking lately? During the process, remember not to search for things that have meaning. Simply let your writing flow until you conclude what your line of reasoning would be.

Sincerity in the details

As you write, be honest in the details. Don't hide something just because you think it doesn't make sense or because it's something very personal. This process of filtering content is just a way for your rational mind to try to keep control over the process of picking up your intuition.

Your sixth sense operates in a different way than the world of logic and reason, so include feelings and everything that you think is clueless. At the end of the process, you will have pieces of a puzzle that, when analyzed and put together, will enable you to see a picture with many nuances, details and clarity.

Do not despise emotions

Emotions can be a gateway to accessing your sixth sense, so don't dismiss them. As we'll show, no matter how they manifest, it's important that you're aware of their emergence. Check them out!

What you feel matters

It has probably happened to you that you get sad out of the blue, feel angry over something silly, or simply exude happiness and find yourself laughing to yourself. These signs can indicate that you have picked up energies and psychic impressions of a place or person, and so what you are feeling is very important, as this reveals messages.

Whenever you meet a person or go to a place for the first time, try to capture the emotions they make in you. That saying, "first impression is what stays," is often right. Stay receptive to the messages and don't ignore what you feel.

Listen to your heart

The heart is not only an organ responsible for the distribution of blood in the body. It is close to it that the heart chakra is located. Consequently, it has much to say about what goes on around it.

So listen to your previous voice whenever you can, even if other people say you should only listen to your reason. Often, it is the heart that really has the ability to distinguish what is good and what is bad for you.

Take a test

Even if you don't feel safe listening to your heart and getting the messages it has for you and your sixth sense, try, at least once, taking the following test.

To do so, you need to expose yourself to a new situation, outside your comfort zone, so you can feel the message your body has to say before acting on automatic. Take note of everything that happens and see how your body reacts during the process.

Seek harmony

Remember that everything is a question of harmony. Even if you seek your intuition and wait for the messages sent by your heart, life in today's society requires that you also use your rationality to act in your daily life.

The point, therefore, is not to let your rational mind dominate or to ignore it completely in order to use only intuition. It is just the opposite: you must alternate between these two parts of your mind whenever the situation calls for one of them. Balance will always be the key to the sixth sense.

Practice meditation

Meditation is undoubtedly one of the greatest allies of people who seek to develop their sixth sense. Through it, it is possible to calm your own mind, so that you can, from this inner silence, serenely observe the world that exists outside of you.

Plus, meditating is a way to escape the frantic way of the world and align with your inner voice to achieve self-knowledge, as we show you below!

Mute the noises from outside

When you begin to practice meditation, it is essential that you begin to quiet your mind, to silence what comes from the outside. To do this, look for a quiet place in which you will not be disturbed by external noises. Remove any and all distractions from this environment to close your eyes and begin to pay attention to the sounds, smells, and physical sensations of your body.

Breathe deeply and regularly, focusing on the air entering and leaving your body. At first, start with just a few minutes and, over time, extend your daily practice, increasing by 5 minutes progressively.

On the road to self-knowledge

By practicing meditation, you will be able to align yourself with your life purpose and consequently gain more self-knowledge. Meditation is a process of becoming aware and directing your attention.

From this process, you will be able to hear your inner voice and you are more aligned with your intuition. In this way, messages will be heard more clearly and accurately.

Sensitivity to sixth sense

Once you become more aware of your mind and ready to fully perceive what is going on inside and outside of you, you will develop a sensitivity of your sixth sense. Initially, you will get answers to your inquiries during meditative processes.

But over time, your intuitions will come even as you walk through a park, for example, so it's important to start your meditation practices as soon as possible, as there are countless benefits for body, mind, and spirit.

Observing the world

Observing the world is a very important technique for developing intuition. As we've already talked about, intuition aligns people to what is beyond the filters of the 5 senses. Therefore, you can explore your own intuition by exhausting the possibilities of your body's lens. Check out more below!

Identifying energy thieves

Observing the world is extremely important so that you can understand how what is external to your body can influence your actions. Often, the body works as a kind of sponge and ends up absorbing problems that manifest themselves in different ways.

So as you practice observing the world, be on the lookout for the well-known energy thieves. Also known as energy vampires, these people suck the life energy, causing sensations such as physical and mental exhaustion.

Therefore, pay attention to the people around you and take note of those who do you good. When you notice someone who is bad for you energetically, try to move away from that person whenever you can.

Discover your weak point

In your search for the sixth sense, it is important that you follow your journey of self-knowledge so that you find your weak points. In your meditation, search for your inner voice and try to find what leaves you vulnerable.

When you find it, work to provide the solution to this vulnerability through your intuition, in an intimate process of listening and self-knowledge through recognizing who you really are.

You're backed up

After the encounter with your potential vulnerabilities, you may feel more fragile, but there is nothing to fear or worry about. This is all part of your spiritual development process, throughout which you will have the unique opportunity to develop your sixth sense and gain self-knowledge through it.

Also, keep in mind that you will not be alone along your journey, as you will learn to rely and listen with the voice that comes from within you, finding inspiration in it. Therefore, feel accompanied spiritually and emotionally, as you will also have the support of the spirit guides and your own essence.

Enjoy the solitude

While many people see loneliness as something extremely negative, it is actually an excellent opportunity. By being alone, you can look inward on a journey to find your inner voice. Understand more about this valuable opportunity below!

Do something for you

When you are alone, try to listen to your heart. In the search for the sixth sense, ask it what you should do and without thinking twice, simply act to do something for you. Choose a time to take care of your body, do your personal care routine and everything that makes you feel good like listening to a song you like and eating your favorite dish. In this process of self-care, yourintuition may speak louder, so be willing to listen to it.

No self-judgments

During the search for your sixth sense, when you hear your inner voice, don't judge, simply act. See this situation as an opportunity for you to be who you are and connect with your higher self, as well as align with your purpose in your life.

Much can be achieved while training your sixth sense, so strip yourself of your judgments and be ready to accept yourself and let yourself be inspired by what is genuinely yours and comes from your core.

Respect the inner voice, respect yourself

By connecting with your inner voice, chances are you won't hear what you wanted to hear, but what you need to hear. Instead of denying what is being given to you, ask yourself the question, "Why not?"

In this process, you will not only be able to understand yourself better, but you will also be more receptive to the messages you have to receive. Disrespecting your inner voice is an act of disrespect for yourself.

Therefore, listening to your voice and respecting it is a way to exercise respect for yourself and your purpose, honoring your journey in the evolutionary process of incarnation. In addition, it is an important way to cultivate and respect your sixth sense.

Who can awaken the sixth sense?

Since it is a skill, anyone can awaken their sixth sense, since every skill can be learned or developed. That includes you.

However, just as with any skill in the world, such as swimming, singing or learning a foreign language, there are people who naturally have an easier time developing the sixth sense, known as psychics or mediums.

Even if you are not considered "psychically gifted," there is no need to be discouraged. On the contrary, you should simply become aware of your current condition and dedicate yourself to developing your sixth sense as much as possible. Remember that nothing happens overnight.

Therefore, it is important that you plan and dedicate some of your time to develop your sixth sense fully. Create a routine of daily practices and follow the tips presented in this article.
