How To Be Your Own Psychic & Develop Your Intuition ｜ This Morning

Right, so before all of that we're going to talk about psychic ability. You may always think you have a gut feeling. Should you listen to that gut feeling and trust your intuitions? I personally have a very big gut and I can't ignore it. Do you trust it? Yes, I can. Do you trust it? No one can ignore it but can you trust it? Do you know what I had last night? The foulest takeaway that I ever had. It was like eating, I swear to you, a bowl of salt. Everything you went to was it was ridden with salt. Why the takeaways? Why do they have so much salt in them? I don't know. It's ghastly. I mean actually you even thought that I'd left it on the side. Well I was surprised that it was left but then that's why you needed your Weetabix this morning. You were still hungry. To balance myself, exactly. To balance you out. But anyway, anyway. Enough of that. I was listening to my gut on that, okay. But now we've got a dream decoder and a spirituality expert. She's Teresa Chung and Teresa says you could already be harnessing the power to become your own psychic. Why is that, Teresa? Because we're all born with the ability to see and sense beyond the material, beyond logic. But the sad thing is as we get older we lose our connection to that sixth sense that we are born with and which science is also now showing that we all have. Teresa, you have been researching writing about spirituality and dreams for for 25 years. So how do you describe yourself? Because there might be people tuning in now going oh is she a psychic? I'm a spiritual being having a human experience. That's how I describe myself which is how everybody is a spiritual being having a human experience. We all have souls, consciousness and I've devoted my life to researching what is consciousness? What is our soul? That spark of life in us. The part of us that can exist separate from our body and our brain. So what good does that do us? I mean I'm listening to you hear what you're saying but I'm thinking why do I need that? Because it gives your life deeper meaning. In times of crisis that's what pulls you through and it's fascinating that during the pandemic I have never had so much interest in what I do. As you say I've been writing for 25 years. You know I'm championing the spiritual approach to life but in times of crisis people realise that the material, this stuff, what we've been telling ourselves all these decades isn't enough to pull us through and give us that strength and this is especially the case during times of grief when you've lost a loved one. You need to see the deeper meaning the bigger picture of your life and that's why I think it's so important. Well you say we're born with it. You say as we grow older and we're influenced by outside factors we lose that ability. Right so how does a person reignite or channel whatever psychic power they have? Well first of all be open to it. Just listening to this item will actually hopefully open your mind to the idea that you can be a psychic. You can be a medium. You can connect to the other side. So be open to the idea. Challenge your logical brain. One great exercise to do that is to try for 10 seconds to think about your day backwards and the reason that's a very popular psychic development exercise is because it challenges you to defy logic and think outside the box. So that's one way you can do it. What do you mean because you would normally go in the order of the things that happen to you during the day by going backwards you're what unraveling that? I don't really understand. You're challenging prominence of your logical brain because intuition is that leap of faith and actually a lot of very logical people scientists the way they do their great discoveries is that leap of faith. They look at all the connections and then they make an almost illogical leap to come to a conclusion but most of us you know fear doing that because we think we've got to stay within these set boundaries and an exercise like that will simply wake up your intuition muscle in your brain because we've all got it but it's gone to sleep because our life's made so easy for us right now because we passively consume what's presented in front of us. We're not required to be as intuitive as we could have been in times past. So an exercise like that can simply show you that actually you're in charge of your thoughts. Your thoughts don't define you and your emotions don't define you too. You can impose a different order. It's just to wake up that creative intuitive psychic part of your brain which is actually called spidey sense and the US military has actually invested millions in training soldiers. You said there it helps us to to reach out and see what's on the other side or be in touch with what's on the other side. What do you believe is on the other side because a lot of people would say there's nothing on the other side. Well I first will say how do you know and I'm going to say I don't know either. I'm just following the research and at the moment there are so many scientists and neuroscientists studying consciousness. It is so fascinating because when I started writing I just collected anecdotal stories because since the beginning of time people have been having psychic experiences afterlife encounters angel experiences and I collated them that's what I did but with the skeptics always saying to me where's the proof where's the proof I went in search of it and I have been for the last five to six years doing that and it's fascinating to see science actually researching this now and showing that it is a natural human ability. There are just too many anecdotal cases to dismiss and actually when scientists do reach out and say to people have you had psychic experiences I'm telling you the people who say they've never had a dream come true they've never had a hunch come true they've never followed their gut instinct and it's been right are people who say they've never had that experience are in are very rare so actually the majority of us are more in tune with our psychic sense than we realize we just need to believe in it. You mentioned dreams there Teresa and you call yourself a dream decoder. I'm fascinated by dreams like what makes us dream the things we do are we processing things going on in our lives and whenever we do you know we have dream experts in here decoders as you call yourself um you know our phone lines ring off the hook and people can't wait to understand their dreams and how meaningful do you believe they are? Oh for me dreams are our life because you don't stop being you when you fall asleep and I had the privilege a couple of weeks ago chatting to Holly and Phil about there was a phone in so I know the interest and it was amazing you know your viewers are still messaging me with their dream stories and I'm so grateful and I what I want to say every dream is a gift because it is commenting on your waking life but in symbolic form a lot of people do take their dreams literally and I'm trying to show people that it's actually um like internal therapy it's commenting in your life from a symbolic you know um in a psychological way so you've got to look beneath the surface for the meaning having said that that's about 99% of dreams and I think what we're talking today is about the 1% of dreams that could be potentially psychic or precognitive and those again are being studied by psychologists by scientists and they are fascinating and I get into my inbox so many messages from people who have had a dream and it's played out astonishing dreams I was at my hairdresser the other day um and I hope you won't mind me saying and he was saying oh I had this dream I dreamt that my grandmother she fell over um and we'd never not got on that well and then the next morning when I woke up I heard that she had died and he hadn't dreamt of her before things like that are just incredible what's happening there this connection yeah so you're advocating intuition and the fact that we've all got it you believe and um we can exercise it we can bring it to the fore now there's a couple of exercises that you have which I think will help our viewers um today if they want to develop their intuition and one is the traffic light system tell us about that well that's you mean again being illogical um you know being intuitive is about making associations between things that you wouldn't normally associate it so associate an emotion with a color right you know for example red is stop so if you have a decision to make close your eyes and visualize that you're in a car you're going to traffic lights is the traffic light red amber or green the the answer is self-explanatory then however if you're one of these people who struggles to visualize and I'm actually discovering a lot of people do they struggle to visualize the good news is that your dreams then are the answer because you can actually incubate a dream and ask your dreaming mind to give you some insight into your future to help you and send you symbols because people who struggle to visualize can actually still dream very vividly why do you think sometimes you can remember a dream so vividly in the morning literally because it was the last thing you thought didn't dream last because your dream your dream you're not thinking of one that you dreamt four hours ago you're thinking of one you dreamt four minutes ago is that right it's because of how open you are to it at the time and again to refer back to the pandemic so many people had more a more careful slow morning because they're on furlough whatever that they had the time to reflect on their dreams so often when we get up we instantly go into waking mode and unfortunately the unconscious is too subtle it can't break through and it poses itself you know it fades dream that's why you've got to write down your dreams immediately and that's what I would encourage everyone doing to write down their dreams and also to have a go making predictions because once you get one prediction right say when a text comes in guess who it is I mean if you haven't got an alert that's associated with the name guess who it is before when the doorbell rings have an intuitive hunch about who it is and once you get that one hit you know you can do it and you can start training it from there you've got to prove to yourself because you know as I work with scientists it's all about proof I'm not interested in when people say to me in hindsight oh I knew this was going to happen and I want them to record it and date it and time it so that we have the solid proof okay that's the final thing is people will say toss of a coin as if it has no relevance it could go one way or the other you believe the toss of a coin can influence your decision or your intuition absolutely because when you toss it it doesn't matter what side comes up it's your gut feeling in your gut and your feelings because feelings are the language of your intuition if the answer you get you have a gut feeling and instinct against it that's what you've got to follow not the side of the coin so the coin is just a sort of a vehicle to help you tap into what your emotions are saying and there is a way of knowing the difference between intuition and negative thinking or wishful thinking and you know thanks for developing that and letting us all think about that that's Teresa Chung there how to be your own psychic basically thank you Teresa thank you very much indeed you had that thing where the phone rings and you say to someone I was just thinking about you I was just thinking about you and then they call you well I do that I get that right every time our landline rings I know exactly who's all of us because the only person that the only people that ever phone our landline are her uncle and aunt and her mother yeah so there's nobody else ever phones the landline who is it you get it right
