On Being Psychic
Everyone is psychic, some are just a little more connected than others. Being psychic is defined as having abilities that are unexplainable by natural laws. Some psychics are able to channel people who have passed, and others can give exact names, dates, and locations of events, but my gifts involve understanding people and their relationships intimately and deeply.
From a young age, I’ve been able to “read people’s minds”, or recognize their innermost beliefs and doubts about self. I can understand relationship dynamics, or why someone behaves in a certain way over and over again. I can also connect with spirits, especially babies who have yet to be born. Using my psychic gifts, I channel messages for people, offering wisdom and guidance for their spiritual growth.
Psychic powers are skills everyone has, to be honed and practiced. When I was younger, I had no filter and would let these messages flow, now I ask before I give guidance, trusting that the right people will find me and be ready to receive.
We all have these natural intuitive gifts, but when we’re used to seeing the world only in our unique way, we can assume that everyone has the same views. My friend can read auras, and see colour when he looks at certain people. You have psychic abilities as well, and can think of at least one situation that unfolded in a way where you thought you knew it would happen.
To harness your psychic powers, you need to spend time alone, in stillness. It starts with discerning your worried or anxious thoughts from the ones that come from deep inside yourself. Intuitive abilities show up in different ways, you might hear things, feel things, see things, taste things, or even smell things. The first time I connected with my grandma after she passed I smelled a whiff of her perfume, and then felt her presence all around me.
Some great books to start with if you’re ready to explore your psychic abilities are Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe, and Spirit Babies. You can also explore a tarot practice, or get a reading with a psychic you have good vibes for. Trust yourself, angels, and get curious about what you can receive.
