Developing Psychic Abilities

Psychic abilities are abilities beyond your five senses that are part of your Spirit. People use psychic abilities to access information beyond what they can see, hear, touch, taste, or smell. Psychic experiences are a natural part of our everyday lives. Learning psychic abilities can help a person access any kind of information that may help guide them in life, talk to spirits, and be more aware of the energy around them. Everyone is psychic, but some people may have stronger abilities than others. Developing your psychic abilities takes practice using meditation techniques, keep trying and you may develop skills to connect with the inner guidance that will help you in your life's decisions and gain awareness of the universe. People often have difficulty accepting their psychic abilities because it can be difficult to distinguish psychic sights, sounds, and sensations from the imagination of the conscious mind. Psychic abilities involve using your senses and being aware of your surroundings, tune into the things that are not visible to the physical eye. People often have a "gut feeling" or an inner voice/feeling that tells them when something is wrong and that is a psychic experience. The best way to develop psychic abilities is to use meditation that will help you relax your thoughts and tune your awareness to the sounds of the universe like the birds singing. Each of us can develop psychic abilities by relaxing and tuning into the world around us.

When tuning into your psychic abilities, take the time to relax and adjust your breathing. Close your eyes and focus your attention on your breathing. As you breathe deeply in and out, feel the tension in your body being released with each out-breath. Visualize a white light surrounding you, infusing you with peace and protection. Let the white light feel like a waterfall flowing through your body and mind releasing the tension.

Here is a simple exercise to develop your psychic abilities:

Seat yourself in a comfortable place where you can easily write, observe people and see your timer or clock. You may choose to sit at a park, library, or a shop. Pick a person to observe, set your timer for thirty seconds and begin writing. Once the thirty seconds is up, set your timer for thirty seconds and pick another person to observe. Observe ten people during a span of five minutes. Write down any impressions you get from each person, whether you can observe it or not. It may be easier to start writing what you observe about the person such as their physical appearance and activity that they are doing. Don't worry if the impressions are correct or not. Write as much as you can and as fast as you can. Write what comes up in your mind without judgment.

It doesn't matter if any of your descriptions, especially those where you use your psychic senses are actually correct. The goal of this exercise is to practice being aware of your surroundings and accessing information using your abilities. The more you practice, the more accurate your observations and impressions will become. The important thing is to not judge yourself on the correctness of your observations, but try your best to sense what each person is like, With practice over time, your observations will become more accurate and you will be able to look at people and know their personality.

When developing psychic abilities, the important things are to practice techniques, relaxing your breathing and being aware of your surroundings and your thoughts. Try to be more aware of your surroundings. When waking up in the morning, lie still for a few minutes without opening your eyes. Try to notice as many sounds, textures, and smells as possible before deciding to open your eyes. This exercise can help increase your awareness and intuition. Often intuitive information comes in bits and pieces which is why psychic abilities may be difficult to perceive. Pay attention to random thoughts and feelings and write down thoughts that seem to come out of nowhere. You may notice for a while that patterns emerge with these thoughts. Thoughts that seem random and unconnected may begin to form ideas. Remember that people all have psychic abilities and practicing allows you to strengthen them. Psychic abilities will allow you to receive guidance from the universe beyond your physical senses and may help you develop insight that will help you grow spiritually.

There are times you may have had psychic experiences and just brushed it off as a coincidence. Some people may think of a song and later hear it on the radio or they think about someone and later hear from them, these are examples of psychic abilities. People often have an inner voice that tells them about things such as an inner voice telling them to change jobs, move to another place, or warning them of danger. This inner voice is a psychic sense that should be paid attention to because it is the voice of your intuition. By strengthening your intuition, you are strengthening your psychic abilities. The "gut-feeling" that some people have is a psychic experience and can provide much insight when people take the time to listen to it.

The main types of psychic ability are clairvoyance, clairsentience, claircognizance, clairaudience, and clairalience. Your intuition or "gut-feeling" is clairsentience. Clairsentience and clairvoyance are the most common psychic abilities that people are aware of and experience. Claircognizance, clairaudience, and clairalience are lesser-known abilities, but people have them to an extent. All people have a variation of these psychic abilities, some may be present in more amounts than others. Also, some people may have stronger psychic abilities than others, but with practice, everyone can develop psychic abilities to help them receive insight from the universe.

Clairvoyance (clear-seeing) includes having visions or seeing images in the mind's eye, seeing auras, apparitions, angels, etc. The area that receives psychic impressions from clairvoyance is the Third Eye- the space between your eyebrows. People who have dreams that come true or see events before they happen are clairvoyant. Clairsentience (clear-feeling or clear-sensing) includes sensing the energies of people and situations. People who are clairsentient may be empaths who can sense people's energies or they may receive feelings that give a positive or negative impression. The psychic feeling of clairsentience is the solar plexus. People who are clairsentient may feel a tingling, tightness, warmth in their gut when they are picking up the energies of a situation. This sense can warn about upcoming events that may be dangerous.
