The Future Newspaper is an exercise designed to help you improve your psychic skill. It is based on a test once used in psychical research with mediums. The idea came from Gladys Osborne Leonard, a famous British medium who had excelled at “book tests,” or giving accurate information from books she could see clairvoyantly in distant locations.

Relax in a comfortable seated position. Close your eyes and visualize the newspaper that will be published the next day. Make the visualization as vivid as possible. Hold the newspaper; feel the texture and weight of it in your hands. Smell the newsprint and ink. See tomorrow’s date clearly printed on the banner. Now read the major headline on the front page. What will tomorrow’s headlines news be?

If you read your news online, visualize the screen and follow the same procedure. For physical cues, feel your desktop or laptop, or mobile.

Take a deep breath and let the image dissolve. Open your eyes and make a written record of what you saw. Also note any physical or emotional sensations that are part of the experience. You may discover that certain sensations or feelings are a part of your psychic skill, and will help you validate when you are getting reliable psychic impressions.

On the next day, check the news against what you saw with your inner eye. How accurate was your vision of the headline? Did you see some of the same words or all of them? Did you see a similar, but not same, event? Perhaps you saw news of an accident, but the kind of accident was wrong.

Do this exercise every day. The best time is in the morning, before you have been exposed to any news that might subconsciously influence you (such as the latest developments in an ongoing news story). Do not try to anticipate news based on knowledge you already have. As we know from experience, any day can bring surprises in the news.

Make the Future Newspaper exercise more complex as you progress. Here are different things to try: Increase the number of headlines you see. Note their position on the page. Open the psychic newspaper and read different pages. Note the headlines and the numbers of the pages they are on. Read the stories under the headlines to learn details. Advance in time. See the newspaper that will be published in a week’s time. Pick a date several months away and read that newspaper with the inner eye. Does your accuracy improve or decrease the farther out you move in time?

The more you do this exercise, the more you will improve your accuracy and the amount of detail you can see in advance.

This exercise helps to improve sensing the future, and can help decision making for all sorts of matters – even planning trips to get the most out of them.

Here’s another tip – use this exercise to help manifest your goals. See yourself in the headlines, and put a desired date on the page.
