Developing Psychic Intuition
Think You Might be Clairvoyant? How to Strengthen Psychic Abililty
Jan 30, 2009
Is psychic ability a special set of gifts that some people receive, while others are left with a mundane existence? Most healers and intuitives don't believe so. Instead, they teach that every person has the ability to sense things that aren't visible, know things they haven't been told, or even see glimpses of the future.
The following tips are the first few steps to opening yourself to the possibility of your own psychic abilities.
Trust Yourself and Your Intuition
Children are told from an early age that their imaginary friends aren't real and that the monsters under the bed aren't actually there. In the modern world of technology and skepticism, psychic abilities don't fit the mold.
Systematically taught to dismiss intuition, it's no wonder that most people have trouble accepting flashes of insight, clairvoyance or psychic ability. Yet the most important step toward becoming more intuitive or psychic is trusting what your senses tell you.
"I don't think [my successful clients] are blessed with far more than the average person's intuitive gifts," says life coach Martha Beck of the new life directions some of her clients have pursued after unusual psychic or precognitive experiences. "The only thing that differentiates them… from my failure-plagued clients is their willingness to trust their intuition." (1)
Psychic Abilities Aren't Credible, So Imagine Anything is Possible
Because it's so easy to dismiss "visions" and psychics in this age of technology and science, it's important to be able to put all that aside.
The single greatest boon to budding psychic talents is the ability to visualize, envision, daydream, and imagine that anything is possible. Children easily create different worlds and imaginary friends; they are also more easily psychic than adults. Intuition and imagination are connected.
Accept what Your Intuition Tells You, in Whatever Form
No two people are identical, so although almost everyone has latent psychic ability, that ability can take different forms. Be open to whatever comes – whether it makes logical sense or not!
Some of the most commonly described kinds of psychic perception include:
- Seeing light, colors or auras around people or objects
- Hearing notes, tones or "humming" from people, body parts or objects
- Hearing voices
- Smelling something (e.g. your deceased grandmother's perfume) that is not physically there
- Seeing dead loved ones or having the impression that they are near
- Sudden urge to go somewhere or learn about something you've never been interested in before
- Strong aversion to something for no obvious reason
- Unprecedented desire to blurt something out to someone
- "Seeing" an image or a replay of something happening (usually to yourself or someone you care about)
- Having the image of a missing object – and its location – pop into your head
- "Just knowing" who's calling before you pick up the phone
Practice Makes Perfect
More than anything else, remember to keep trying and not lose hope if you don't have success on your first experiment! Opening to your intuition and the possibility of psychic skill isn't easy, and usually takes plenty of faith and practice to grow into something accurate and reliable.
