My top ten tips for running your own psychic development circle, and a couple of rules!
1. Don’t wait for many members, start a circle even if there are only 2 or 3 of you.
2. Commit to meeting regularly. This is essential.
3. Set ground rules and make sure everyone agrees to them.
4. Decide on a trial period to see how everyone is doing. Working with people on a psychic level is quite different than if you would go out for a drink and a mat with them.
5. Create a structure for your meeting so that it is a business event and not a social one.
6. Know your basics: how to implement energy protection, opening and closing/grounding your energies. These are all the essentials you need to do before you work on other things. These could be the topics of your first meetings to make sure everyone is familiar with them.
7. Between you decide about 6 things that you would like to try, understand or develop. You may find that these are things that one of you knows, so you can take turns leading the sessions. Some examples are, healing, crystals, card reading. Avoid advanced topics at first. My recommendation would be to avoid attempting trance, automatic writing, astral or etheric projection (out of body experiences) and anything even remotely resembling a ouija board to begin with.
8. If one of you does not want to participate in a particular type of work, perhaps a past life regression, respect their choice and do not insist that they do so. Find something else, there are plenty of themes to choose from.
9. Confidentiality – Make sure you are comfortable with everyone agreeing not to discuss any personal issues that may arise outside of the group.
10. If you are unwell or have a mental health condition, be sure to seek appropriate medical advice. Do not start your own group, first work to improve yourself. If you really want to investigate this avenue of work and development, seek out an experienced medium who already leads a group, or go to your local Spiritualist church for more advice.
