First of all, I only used the word psychic in the title to increase search results.
I don't particularly like the word "psychic".
I find there can be negative associations tied up in it.
When I hear the word PSYCHIC I think of exploitation and a breach of ethics.
However, that's my own issue with the word, if you like the word, use it.
I would like to tell you straight up though, that anyone can build their intuition and extra senses (something I call the "clairs").
These gifts are innate in all of us
Yes, you have spiritual gifts.
They may be dulled or covered by years of energetic dis-ease and even traumatic experiences, but they are there, waiting for you to activate them.
It's hard to explain to people what I do.
When I am talking to clients I tell them I am an Energy Healer.
When I talk to people who are not interested in working with me, but are aquantainces (or even when dating!) I tell them I do emotional and spiritual coaching.
To me they are both true.
Having a background in Mental Health Counseling and my MSc in Addiction Studies I use my classical education to help people work through their problems. I use my spiritual training to empower people and discover their bliss.
How I do that though is mostly with my Intuition.
Watch the video here:
Intro to Energy
Energy Work starts with the understanding that we are Energetic Beings.
Our thoughts are energetic frequencies (read more about it here)
Our bodies are made of energy.
Emotions have measurable frequencies (read more here)
Energy is sticky.
Like attracts Like.
That is the whole basis for the "The Secret" and the Law of Attraction, as well as how to Manifest.
Therefore the most powerful tool we have to change our lives, is our INTENTION, our thoughts, and our emotions!!
But what does this have to do with building your Intuitive Abilities?
Everything.
Now I absolutely wish that I was a scientist who was extremely well verse in Quantum Mechanics so I could explain how this is all provable. Alas, I am not, so I will leave it to the experts.
Here are some books I have read on how what we intend can manifest in the material world
We all have the capacity to do extraordinary things
Things that most people will try to tell you are inconceivable
But if you are still reading this blog post, you are convinced or at least intrigued by the concept of your own intuitive powers.
Born Intuitive
Some people will tell you they were always seeing, hearing, and experiencing things that were not perceptible by the ordinary.
That's what I always read in Healer's Bios: Hi I am a Healer and Intuitive and I was born with these gifts and was always in higher communication with Spirit!
While I DO believe this, statements like these tend to put up barriers or make it appear like intuitive abilities are not innate in everyone.
*Watch my video "WHAT IS AN EMPATH" here
Some people are aware of their gifts very early on and continue to build their senses throughout their life, never questioning their powers.
Others experience things early on (like being super sensitive seemingly without reason, seeing "ghosts", of having imaginary friends, or experiencing vivid and lucid dreaming), and are told they are just "imagining" things, or to "grow up", therefore killing off their intuition.
People grow up learning their intuitions are not trust worthy or that they are imaginary.
Or people experiencing something frightening and "shut off" their intuition out of fear and lack of understanding.
This causes a disconnect from yourself, others, and the higher realms. All of this can make your life harder.
Intuition is a sensitivity to energy
Since everything is made of energy, intuition is a given.
The hard part is whether or not you allow the intuition to come through
Step One
You first needs to learn to trust yourself (read more here)
This is simple, not easy. Know the difference?
It is a simple concept that takes a lot of practice and dedication.
The "Clairs"
When I was first practicing Reiki (read about Reiki here), I had many things and ideas and objects pop into my head. I would almost immediately dismiss them as a wild imagination.
DON'T DO THAT
That is an example of "Claircognizance", or, receiving a download of information.
Claircognizance: Knowing. Do things just pop into your head? Are you lead by your thoughts? Do stories or explanations come to your mind?
Clairvoyance: Seeing. Do colors and visions present themselves to you in inexplicable ways? Is it easy for you to visualize? Do you see fogs, or mists when others don't?
Clairsentient: Feeling. Do you feel things for other people? Does you body send you messages? Do you get gut feelings?
Clairaudient: hearing. Do you prefer to listen when others speak? Do you often hear things, like your name being called or singing, when others do not?
All of the Clairs can seem quite overwhelming if you don't know what you're dealing with!
And as you grow in your spiritual gifts, sometimes you will receiving informations in different ways, or maybe you will consistently receive information in the same way.
However you gift first presents itself, go with it, be grateful for it, and build it.
Step Two
Practice
Practicing is not the same as testing yourself.
Practicing means go into meditation and start discovering where you are led
*ever felt unsafe when you close your eyes? That can be common and there are ways to protect yourself.
first, realize it is only you in your head, and your meditation. If you ever feel confronted by something threatening or something that makes you feel uneasy follow these steps:
First, set your intention when you meditate. Here is my common one Holy Spirit Guides and Angels, center my energy in the Earth so I am always grounded; surround me in your pure white light to guard against anything not for my highest good; activate my healing channels and remind me that I am always in control and you are always there if I need your help. create one that feels right for you.
Second, envision your roots growing all the way to the center of the Earth, and watch the ball of pure white light surround you.
Third, always make sure you either climb, or walk UP a dimension (or whatever you want to call it)
Fourth, if something gets through you mental and intentional defenses while meditating, tell it to leave immediately, and watch it go. If it is stubborn, call your Guardians or Angels forward to remove it.
Boom Safe.
Going into meditation is Intuitive Practice. Sit with yourself, notice if you start to feel things in your body, try to identify it. Where is it coming from. Why is it there. What can you do about it.
Below are some ways to get your Intuitive Juices Flowing
Make an energy ball, fill it with your intention, energy, or emotions you want. You can also send this energy ball to anyone or anything
Touch an object and let it tell you it's story
Envision each of your chakras, going through them individually, and build their energies up, blessing them as you go.
Remove negative feelings from yourself in your meditation. Let your creativity guide you here.
Ask for certain intuitions to be activated, and wait and notice.
Light a candle and watch the flame, see what you see. Then blow the candle out please.
Sit with your pet and imagine giving them messages through your third eye, to their third eye.
Go outside and listen to what the wind is saying.
Literally anything can be practice, it's more about discovering your creative potential at this point
I hope this was helpful information and inspiration for your own Spiritual Practice.
You are Infinite.
Together we can achieve anything.
