An Introduction to Psychic Spiritual Arts

© 2005 Britt Nesheim

Psychic spiritual arts encompass many practices including hands-on healing, angel readings, psychic
readings, tarot-card readings, astrology readings, meditation, vision journeys into magical worlds, vision
journeys into your psyche, healing with music, crystal healing, drumming, ritual, ceremony, astrology,
communicating with deceased loved ones, storytelling of myths and fairy tales, spiritual guidance from your
spiritual guides and many more.

The spiritual world is equivalent to our inner psyche. It has an individual and universal aspect. It is known as
the inner universe, the inner realm. The inner realm is a place of divine beauty, order, harmony and
perfection. Spiritual traditions refer to it as Avalon from English Arthurian legend, the Garden of Eden from
Judea-christian cosmology, Shambala from ancient Buddhism, and Tir na n'Og from early Irish tradition.   

We can perceive the beauty, order and perfection of the higher spiritual planes through the astral plane. In
the astral plane spiritual beings from other planes like angels, star beings, nature spirits, gods and
goddesses appear in our mind.

The astral plane is one of five levels of being or consciousness. The highest of the five is the spiritual plane.
The spiritual plane is closest to God and is the creative impulse of God. Connected to the spiritual plane we
experience the mystical and the transcendent.

The next plane of consciousness is the mental plane, a form of higher intelligence. In the mental plane, God's
creative impulse becomes an idea as archetypes, patterns, and pure mathematics of no images. The spiritual
and mental planes are planes of being.

From the mental plane, spiritual thought forms come into being in the astral plane. Using our inner senses,
we perceive the spiritual thoughts in the astral plane as dreams, visions, voices, rituals, chills, energy and
messages from spiritual guides. The astral plane holds the templates of higher thought forms as they take
shape in the etheric and physical planes. To connect with spiritual guides, create an image in your mind of
the type of guidance you seek. Once created, the appropriate spiritual guide fills the space with ideas and
images. Angels reside in the higher levels of the astral plane. Ancestor spirits, gods and goddesses reside in
lower levels of the astral plane.

The next plane is the etheric. The etheric plane is the blue print for the physical. Your etheric energy body
connects your physical body to the astral plane. Energies experienced in the etheric plane are chi, ki, prana,
life force, and flower essences. Nature spirits reside in the etheric plane and are responsible for creating
plants and trees at the molecular level using the blueprints handed down to them by the angels. When you
see an angel as a sparkle of white light or a nature spirit as a swirl of energy, you are perceiving them in the
etheric plane.

The final plane is the physical, that of the earth, the one we are most familiar with. The etheric and physical
planes are planes of becoming.

In ancient times, there was no separation between the physical world and the spiritual worlds. All worlds,
physical or not, were part of a continuous system of life. According to this tradition, the physical world should
reflect the ideal patterns of order, beauty, and harmony of the spiritual. Many people have lost touch with
their connection to the spiritual planes and can not perceive the thought forms, beliefs and practices needed
to take care of life on the earth.

Psychic spiritual arts establish and facilitate an ongoing connection to the inner planes and give us the tools
we need to create life forms in harmony with spiritual reality. Psychic spiritual counselors facilitate
self-discovery and spiritual awakening which lead to positive life changes in accordance with the divine plan
and will.
