What is Psychic Ability?
Understanding Your Psychic Ability
- A simple straightforward way to find your inner-self and how
to develop and use your under-developed sixth sense
signs that you are psychic
Clairvoyance

Clairsentience.
Psychic ability goes hand in hand
with exceptional ability. Psychic ability can be used for life
enhancement. Your whole life is
directed according to your psychic
ability and perceptions
of your psychic ability; every day you
make decisions based on information you
get psychically.
As an example of what a wide span the World of Psychic Ability
reaches ... each of the following words, phrases or people, relates in one
way or another to Psychic Ability
...
With all the activity lately about psychics,
from psychics, or by psychics, it's easy to get confused about
just what is psychic phenomena. It is so easy to be completely
confused by
all the different notions of what is psychic.
Unfortunately, there are so many definitions out there that
refer to "special powers" or to "extra" sensory perception, that
it's easy to think that if you don't have any "special" powers,
you must not be psychic.
For instance, my huge Random House dictionary defines "Psychic"
as: 1. of or pertaining to the human soul or mind; mental
(opposed to physical), 2. (psychological): pertaining to or
noting mental phenomena, 3. outside of natural or scientific
knowledge; spiritual, 4. of or pertaining to some apparently
nonphysical force or agency, 5. sensitive to influences or
forces of a nonphysical or supernatural nature, 6. a person who
is allegedly sensitive to psychic influences or forces; medium.
None of these rather vague descriptions helps you, the reader
seeking real answers, to experience this for yourself.
The whole subject seems "outside" of natural experiences.
"Supernatural". Nothing could be further from the truth. The
truth is simple: You embody the psychic. Everyone in the whole
world is psychic. A better way to state this would be to say
that we are all at one level or another of psychic development.
(If we only use 7% of our brains, what does the other 93% do?)
Here's the good news: Once you recognize the psychic ability
within yourself and acknowledge it as such, it becomes easy to
train and strengthen.
Here are some examples of psychic ability: You have a dream that
in one way or another comes true...You think the phone's going
to ring, and it does...Or, to take that further, the phone rings
and you know who it is before you answer...and you don't have
caller ID...You know what a friend is going to say-right before
they say it...You take a different route home than usual, for
some strange reason, and see on the news when you get home the
four car pileup you missed by doing so...
Do you recognize yourself in any of these examples? They are all
taken from situations that truly happened to my clients. These
clients had all called me at one time or another, afraid that
the "voice" in their minds meant they were losing their marbles! Being psychic can range from being able to fully "tune in" on
this voice, to understanding the meaning of a "gut feeling", to
getting fully "clairvoyant" experiences of vivid mental imagery.
The main mistake people make in trying to understand the psychic
is to think it needs to be an earth-shattering spiritual event.
Not so.
Psychic ability manifests as subtleties. It has a tendency to
start as a thought like "Wouldn't it be funny if..." It is
easier for our logically trained minds to accept this, rather
than a booming voice in your head predicting the next major
'quake. It's that odd little nagging sensation that says "Maybe
I should check the car after it's just been serviced", and then
you go check and find they've left the oil cap off..! (This
happened to me just last week. I got some funny looks as I
popped the hood in the dealership lot!) Tune in and check it
out.
Psychic ability,
You have it already. Prove it to your self by looking at this
list of revealing signs...
Psychic ability -
your hidden talent.
Psychic ability is demonstrated
whenever a person picks up information and knowledge that he or
she wouldn't or shouldn't normally know. The information
comes from a source outside of the person's intellect, and is
distinct from learned knowledge and experience. The insights and
knowledge derived, comes directly from the universal mind and
from other people themselves. It works like mental telepathy
where one person can read another's thoughts. Everyone has had
that experience more than once in there life, and if they can't
recall ever having done so, its because they were not paying
attention and didn't recognize it. Just like hearing, feeling,
seeing, smelling and tasting, everyone has it. It is our sixth
sense.
Signs Of Psychic Ability
1.
The telephone rings and you know who it is.
2. You know what someone is
about to say to you before they say the words.
3. You get a hunch or knowing
about something and it turns out to be correct.
4. You get a sudden urge to go
somewhere or do something, and when you do that thing, and it
turns out to be the right thing that you should have done. And
you are pleased.
5. You get a sudden urge to go
somewhere or do something, and you ignore it or don't do it, and
it turns out that you should have. And you regret it.
6. You can understand someone's
true inner feelings even though on the outside they are hiding
them.
7. You have a feeling that
there is a presence or that someone or something behind the
scene is helping you.
8. When something happens in
your life, either good or not so good, and you suddenly
understand a higher purpose behind it.
9. You sometimes hear a soft
inner voice tipping you off about things happening in your life
or in the life of someone else.
The difference between a
psychic with psychic ability, an intuitive, and a medium.
The psychic is one who tunes to a higher source to get
information that comes from out side of the intellect. This
information comes from the universal mind through ESP (extra
sensory perception - see
ESP related pages). The intuitive knows things based upon an
intellectual capacity that utilizes logic, personal experience
and learned knowledge to arrive at certain conclusions about the
facts. The medium has the highly developed senses of both , plus
the added mental tuning to another realm of knowledge. The
medium has is able to connect with the world of deceased souls
that are said to be dead, but rather who are in a different
reality than those who exist in the physical world.

Psychic Ability is Psychic
Power - Psychic Ability is Connecting with universal spirit.
This hidden power is is
available to those who recognize and accept that there is a
higher realm of knowing and communication beyond their own
physical bodies. The universe is full of this unlimited energy
that can be tapped by almost anyone who will make the effort to
focus and tune themselves to its subtle vibrations. These
vibrations are not just for the so called 'gifted' persons, but
for everyone who makes the effort to learn its secrets. Most all
psychic people are that because they recognized the signs of
this energy and focused their attention on its workings which is
the very thing that is required in order to develop it. If they
hadn't focused their attention on it, then they wouldn't be what
they are.
Psychic Abilities and Focus
To begin tuning into this force you need to learn
about focusing. Focusing on even the smallest instance of
psychic phenomena that happens to your self and to people around
you. Play the event around in your mind continually, to get
familiar with the sense of the action and presence of the energy
involved. This will give you a perception of how involved and
integrated is the underlying hidden power that caused the event
to take place.
Psychic Ability - Everything is connected
One of the most important things that anyone needs to understand
is that every living thing has consciousness has a connection to
everything else in the universe. People, animals and plants are
all connected to the hidden energy of universal consciousness
that permeates the entire universe and 'wires' all of us
together.
Understanding and accepting
this concept is the most important requirement to developing
one's own latent ability. The next important requirement, is
that the person must have both a desire and willingness to
develop and tune themselves so they can also connect with the
universal spirit
Psychic
Ability - Mindset
After that, it becomes a matter of adopting a certain kind of
mind set that is necessary to cultivate a power thinking
process. Next, you will need to practice diligently a number of
exercise techniques to get feed back while developing these
abilities. Feed back helps you to learn and understand the
signals and symbols that are received and experienced as a
normal part of the learning to experience process.
Practice
To advance, you need to find a development circle or starting a
"circle" of your own. A circle means weekly meetings where like
minded people can practice in a positive environment. Another
thing you can do is to visit the pages on
Esp. and
Telepathy which is part of this website. There you'll find
tests and practices which will help you to begin developing your
latent psychic abilities. They are not games, but rather
exercises for someone who is serious about psychic mind
development. This development is a primer for those who feel
they'd like to continue into Mediumship.
Meditation
In addition to these practices, the student should learn to
meditate. Although, this is not a rigid requirement, it makes a
lot of difference in how fast you progress. You can develop a
lot more quickly when you practice meditation.
Get a
reading
It is also advantageous for your development to
get a reading
or consultation from a reader or medium to learn what its
all about. (not one of those hotlines advertised on TV or in
magazines). Its best to be directly in the vibration of a the
person giving the reading, so you can get the feel of the energy
involved.
channeling psychic ability -
paranormal psychic ability
Take your own psychic ability, & use the power of your own thoughts
to create the life of your dreams!
I'd love to talk to the inner you. Call it your spirit or
essence, if you like, or the Magician within. We've all
experienced a moment of unexpected, yet penetrating insight and
in that moment we fully realized our humanity lies beyond the
boundaries of our body. This state of super conductivity is like
having all your "channels" open so that all messages—especially
those you can't see or hear—are received. And ultimately, it is
discovering the power of your own thought and using it to create
the life of your dreams.
As I blossomed in my own awakening process I passionately wanted
to know. If it's true that I create my own reality then how is
it true? I began to do daily energy work that activates the
mind, body and spiritual connection. To my delight I was finding
and tapping into the invisible intelligence and power that lies
in all form. The following is a condensed version of several
channeled transmissions that serve to answer my questioning,
"How is it we create our own reality?" As I applied this knowing
in my own life and found it to be incredibly accurate, I now
offer this brilliance to my beloved clients.
The order of the universe is the consistency of the Law of
Attraction. It isn't about someone old and wise and omnipresent
making all decisions for all beings. It's instead, a Law that is
so consistent that everything that vibrates in harmony with
everything else comes together and those who understand it and
get in sync with it thrive.
The Law of Attraction simply states, that which is like unto
itself is drawn, or like attracts like. Everything imaginable
vibrates, including your thoughts and attracts that which is
like itself under any and all conditions. The Law is the
organizing element, the choreographer of our three dimensional
reality. It is what guides the electron through its worldly
journeys. It is what makes the choice between all possible
events.
The way things come together or move apart under the Law is by
virtue of its vibration. Things that are similar vibrate
similarly. Therefore they are pulsating 'alike' and are
attracting each other. The attraction can be expressed as two
separate things achieving vibrational harmony or resonance, and
by virtue of the aforementioned law, draw or pull together. They
add unto each other, and for a time, vibrate virtually identical
frequencies until conditions change.
Immediately upon separation the two (consisting of either
particle or wave) once again are drawn to whatever is most
similar vibrationally. Everything imaginable is nothing more
than different states of energy and it's all vibrating! Every
thought you think has its own vibrational frequency.
Creation is about attraction. Whatever it is that you are
looking at or talking about or think about, whatever it is that
has your attention, has got you offering a vibrational
signal—and that vibrational signal is you point of attraction.
The entire universe is responding to your signal. No one has
trained you to be sensitive of the vibrational signals you are
emitting. Sometimes the words you use sound positive but the
vibration within is negative.
Most people want to be loved from a place of not feeling loved.
You've been taught that your words and actions are powerful,
when in fact they are ineffectual in the face of a vibration
that is going in direct opposition to your desire. The feeling
of not being loved is a contradictory signal to the desire for
love. The choreographer can't make the match and attract the
perfect mate to your door.
When your thoughts and feelings vibrationally match your desire,
your energy is purely aligned. The manifestation must take place
because there is little or no contradiction cluttering up the
delivery system. Creation is about creating a vibration within
you, and then the Law of Attraction takes care of the rest.
You were born with a precise measuring tool that is always
accurate and never failing, to assist you in knowing, how you
are directing your vibrational signal. You are very familiar
with this valuable and frequently misunderstood tool, it is your
emotional body. Your emotions are the connecting link between
your eternal partner, the Magician within, and your body
personality.
The reason this broader aspect of yourself communicates to you
in terms of emotion is because it is virtually impossible to
transmit a thought and receive a thought simultaneously. But you
can offer a thought and receive a feeling response relative to
that thought concurrently.
It was divinely designed so that the impulses you feel in terms
of negative or positive emotion is to assist you in knowing
which thoughts contradict your true desires. Positive emotion
always means you are a vibrational match to your desire and the
attraction is in process. Negative emotion always means you are
in the process of attracting something you don't want.
There is no law of Exclusion there is only law of Attraction. So
every time you try to exclude something you don't want you only
set forth the attraction. Your eternal partner knows this and
offers you negative emotion to alert you that you are including
in your vibration something that is contradictory to your
desire, and that's what keeps you from offering the pure signal
that would bring you rapidly, to a full manifestation of your
desires.
If you have negative emotion and you are not heeding the
guidance from within, no problem, by Law of Attraction it will
only get bigger. And if you still ignore it, the condition will
continue to get worse until it gets so big you must make a
different choice. If you train yourself to catch the negative
emotion as it's happening in the earlier stages, you can
redirect your attention towards what you want, which serves to
maintain the vibrational alignment toward its manifestation.
Over the years, many people have commented that I have an
obvious advantage when
it comes to hearing my intuition because of my psychic
abilities. But I always reply —
and I feel it's important to understand — that intuition and
psychic ability are not the
same thing at all. Hearing your intuition has nothing to do with
being psychic. They're
completely separate. I agree that I've had an advantage to this
whole business of living
by intuition, but it's not because I have psychic abilities.
It's because I was raised by a
mother who taught me to live this way. Listening to my inner
voice started as far back
as I can remember, and there wasn't any formal training. My
mother simply said,
repeatedly, "Listen to the voice inside," and there were no
other instructions. It was
simple and to the point. My psychic abilities didn't start until
I was seventeen years
old. It took two years of psychic development classes and a good
twelve years of
practicing on friends and family members before I became a
professional psychic.
One of the most gifted mediums of our times, James Van Praagh,
has the ability to
communicate with the deceased and is able to bring incredibly
intimate details through
from the other side. I've seen James interviewed by many people
— Oprah Winfrey,
Larry King, Barbara Walters, to name a few — and everyone asks
him how he does his
work. His standard humble answer is, "It's intuition, and we all
have it, and anyone can
do what I do." With all due respect to this very gifted man,
that's like Mozart or Bach
saying, "It's just something I wrote, and anyone could do it."
What we see him doing on
TV or in his workshops is not just a matter of intuition. He
obviously uses intuition to
sort through all the profound psychic information he receives or
he wouldn't be as
accurate as he is, but it's not just intuition at work here. He
has three powerful psychic
gifts as well.
The Three Types of Psychic Ability
There are a great many misconceptions about psychics, psychic
abilities, and psychic
readings, so I'd like to clarify things as much as possible.
Psychic ability is just one of
the many talents, gifts, and abilities we were all born with. As
with all of our gifts and
abilities — creativity, musical ability, healing powers, writing
talent, speaking, acting,
and so on — it's up to us to decide if we want to develop it or
not.
There are actually three distinctly different psychic gifts —
clairvoyance, clairaudience,
and clairsentience — and how much you've used these abilities in
past lives will
determine what your strong areas will be in this life. For
example, if you developed
clairvoyance in a former life, it's going to come a lot easier
this time, whereas if this is
the first of your lifetimes for clairaudience, it's going to
take some time and effort to
develop it. Some of the more gifted psychics have all three
abilities highly developed,
and the majority of them have at least two that have come easily
and naturally.
Clairvoyance
and Psychic Ability
Clairvoyance (clear seeing) is the gift of seeing visions,
images, or pictures. For a
clairvoyant, "seeing" psychic information is something like
watching a movie. This
information comes in through the "third eye," which is located
in the middle of the
forehead, though invisible to our human eyes. We all have a
third eye. As strange as it
sounds, this eye can see in every direction. The information
received can look
something like a cartoon strip. If there's a lot of information,
the psychic may get a
number of pictures in a sequence, one at a time; other times
information comes in as
one big picture. Sometimes it comes in slowly, sometimes
quickly, depending upon the
psychic's ability to see and interpret what she's seeing.
Here's an example of how it works: A client tells a psychic that
she's having problems
with her marriage but is too close to it to see what the
problems really are or to know
what she needs to do about them. Up on the psychic's "screen"
(another term for the
third eye) comes an image of a racetrack. The next frame shows a
turtle and a hare at
the starting line. In the next picture, the hare takes off going
full speed and runs
circles around the turtle, who is moving at a very slow but
steady pace. The picture
seems to emphasize that the turtle is very methodical about its
movements and careful
to observe and take in everything around her while the hare
continues to run in circles,
not paying attention to his surroundings. The next picture
emphasizes how much the
hare wants to win at any cost. He loves to compete with
everything. The next picture shows that the turtle is oblivious to the whole concept of
winning, she just wants to be
aware of what's going on, and to get where she's going.
The clairvoyant receives the information in the form of
pictures, and the most
important part of the job is to interpret the images as
accurately as possible. If a
clairvoyant hasn't developed an understanding of the pictures he
or she receives, she
might give false information. There have been many times in my
psychic development
(and even now!) when I have misinterpreted the information I
receive. It's very
important to pay attention to all the details that the pictures
are giving us and to
interpret them as accurately as possible.
Let's go back to the turtle and the hare. The psychic tells her
client what she is
seeing, and says that it feels like she's the turtle, not being
in a hurry to get through
life, not feeling competitive, always wanting to stop along the
way and enjoy life, while
her husband is the hare, going through life like a race, never
stopping along the way to
enjoy himself but always in a hurry to win. She points out how
different they are in
their essential nature, and suggests that this is where the
problem originates. As you
can see, this clairvoyant first received the pictures and then
interpreted them
according to what she felt the pictures meant, checking other
interpretation with her
intuition to more fully understand it before she offered it to
her client.
Sometimes the pictures are far more difficult to interpret than
at other times. When I
get pictures I'm not sure about, I usually describe them in
detail to my client and we
discuss what they might mean. There's always the possibility that the pictures are not
symbolic messages but actual scenes from situations that have
already occurred, or
are currently occurring, or are going to occur in the future.
There are two ways to tell:
One is to look at every possible interpretation and the other is
to check the pictures
out intuitively, which we'll talk more about later.
A bit of advice for those of you who get psychic readings: If you've received
information that doesn't seem accurate, tell the psychic so.
They may not have
checked in with their intuition to see if their interpretation
was accurate, and they
could have simply misinterpreted what they saw. Hopefully they
can go back and look
at the pictures and see if there's a different explanation.
Clairaudience
and Psychic Ability
The second form of psychic ability is clairaudience (clear
hearing), the gift of hearing
spirit. This ability is also located in the head area. I think
of it as having psychic ears.
There are two ways to hear spirit. One comes through as a clear
audible voice, which
many people claim to have heard at least once in their life. A
voice calls out their
name, for instance, but when they look in the direction of the
voice they see nothing.
The other form of clairaudience, which is the most common, is
the ability to "hear"
thoughts that come into our head from spirit guides, angels, or
our deceased loved
ones. If you've ever observed James Van Praagh, John Edward,
Sylvia Browne, or any
of the other well-known mediums or psychics of our time giving a
reading, they're
usually having an ongoing conversation with their guides
throughout the session. They
all have clairaudience. Mental telepathy, which is the ability
to pick up thoughts from
someone here on earth, is also a form of clairaudience.
What makes clairaudience so challenging to the beginner is that
all our thoughts and all
the different voices seem to sound similar. The more developed
the clairaudient's skill
becomes, the easier it is to discern among all the thoughts and
the different voices
coming in. During a psychic reading, a clairaudient can be
receiving information from
many voices at once: her own spirit guides, the guides of the
client, deceased relatives
of the client, and perhaps an angel or two. It takes quite a bit
of concentration to
listen to all the voices and discern which voices are relevant
and which are talking
gibberish. And although most experienced clairaudients can keep
up with the pace,
sometimes the thoughts of the spirits come in so quickly that
the clairaudient can miss
part of the message.
A bit of advice for any of you who might go to see a
clairaudient for a reading: You
might want to hold your questions and comments until after
they're done receiving
information. It can be pretty tough to discern everything coming
in from the different
voices while a client is talking as well.
Clairsentience and Psychic Ability
The third psychic ability is called clairsentience (clear
sensing). Over the last thirty
years the definition of clairsentience has changed. In the past,
if a person talked about
being clairsentient, it meant they had a "psychic nose," and
they got their information
through smells, such as smelling a fire that was happening at a
great distance or
smelling a certain flower associated with a departed loved one.
To get our attention,
deceased loved ones can sometimes project a smell that was
strongly associated with
them when they were living — their favorite cologne, for
example, or fresh baked
cookies. My grandpa's favorite food was vanilla ice cream and,
after he passed away,
he would project the smell of vanilla ice cream whenever he came
to visit me. Later on,
when I had developed my psychic abilities, he would simply call
my name or appear to
me and it was no longer necessary to project the smell.
Today, the definition of clairsentience has changed to mean a
broader gift of sensing.
It's the ability to sense psychic information. Clairsentients
are often referred to as
"psychic sponges," because they physically and psychically soak
up the environment
they're in. They can feel people's health challenges in their
own bodies, for instance. As
you can imagine, this ability can be a pretty heavy burden.
Clairsentients continually
need to do clearing exercises to keep themselves clear of other
people's stuff
Common Misconceptions about Psychic Ability
I was at a baby shower recently and noticed that the woman
sitting next to me was
very quiet throughout the afternoon. I didn't know her
personally and didn't think much
about it until we were just about finished with our meal and she
blurted out, "I'm so
nervous sitting next to you." I asked her if she thought I could
read her mind, and she
hesitated and said yes.
As I looked around the table, there were several other women I'd
never met before,
and I realized that many of them were wondering if I was reading
their minds or
discovering their deepest secrets. I was so out of my "psychic
mode" that day that it
hadn't even occurred to me that these women were even thinking
of me as being a
psychic. I quickly reassured them all that I couldn't and didn't
wish to read any of their
minds and that their secrets were safe.
There are so many misconceptions about who psychics are and how
we use our abilities
that I'd like to do my best to lay a few of those misconceptions
to rest right here.
Every one of us is unique and different, and psychics are no
exception. We all work
differently from each other. Some are on a spiritual path,
others aren't. Some work with
a crystal ball, or read tea leaves or tarot cards, others
communicate with angels or
spirit guides; some go into a trance and channel their messages,
some work with a
Ouija Board or do automatic writing. There are mediums who
communicate with the
dead and others who use their abilities to get rid of ghosts.
Some focus strictly on past
lives, and others only work with the future. There are aura
readers, fortune tellers, and
palm readers. Every psychic I know has his or her own unique way
of using his or her
abilities.
Psychic Ability
Misconception 1:
Psychics can see into the minds of
everyone we come into contact
with. It just isn't so. Yes, some psychics are less ethical than
others but most
professionals turn off their abilities when they're in public.
In fact, every hard-working
psychic I know will tell you that at the end of a long day of
reading people, the last
thing he or she wants to do is read people's minds. That's like
thinking that bus drivers
want to drive people around on their days off!
When I was younger and still developing my abilities, random
information would come
into my mind about people and it was all very unclear who it was
for or about, but as
the years passed and I became more psychically developed, I was
able to turn my
abilities on when I needed them and shut them off when I wasn't
using them. Most
professional psychics work that way in order to prevent burnout.
It is usually very easy to tell if a person is in the early
stages of their psi development.
If they've been around awhile, they're respectful of people's
boundaries and don't read
them unless asked. But those in the beginning stages often get
excited and want to
show people what they can do, and it can cause problems when
they don't wait for
people to ask. They "tune into" people to impress or scare them,
and that's certainly
not what these abilities are for.
If you're ever in a situation like the women at the baby shower,
and are uncomfortable
in any way because you don't know if a psychic is respecting
your boundaries, just ask
God to put protection around you, so that no one can read you
unless you ask. This is
usually not necessary, however, with professional psychics who
have been around
awhile.
Psychic Ability Misconception 2:
We all read palms. I can't tell you how
many palms I've had extended
to me over the years from people who think all psychics read
palms. I don't read them,
and neither do most of the psychics I know. Reading palms is a
skill palmists
Psychic Ability
Misconception 3:
Psychic abilities are evil (or psychics
work for Satan). Maybe back in
Biblical times, when there was apparently little or no
understanding of psychic abilities,
the religious leaders felt that the ability to see into the
future could only come from the
guy in the red suit with the horns and pitchfork, but it's now
two thousand years later
and we've learned a lot about the Gifts of Prophesy referred to
in 1 Corinthians 12.
Jesus and the other prophets in the Old and New Testaments
received their visions and
messages through clairvoyance and clairaudience. And Jesus told
us that we have
these abilities as well. "These gifts I give unto you and
greater works shall you do."
These gifts aren't evil. They are just one of the many gifts and
abilities God gave us
when we were created.
Psychic Ability
Misconception 4:
Psychics know their own future. Whenever
anything unexpected
happens in my life, people always ask me why I didn't know it
was going to happen or
why my spirit guides didn't warn me about it. In order to see
future events, a psychic
has to be able to be emotionally detached from their life and to
not care what's
coming. That can be very hard to do in one's own life.
I know that as I've grown spiritually and have come to accept
that there's a reason for
everything that happens, and as I grow away from a victim
mentality and realize that
things don't just happen to us, sometimes I'm able to see future
pictures for myself.
And, as I continue on this path, I can hear more in-depth
guidance from my intuition as
well. But |
