Psychic Development Classes for Beginners
People frequently ask how they can “become psychic” or develop what psychic abilities they have. Well I have new for you: we are ALL already psychic! Some of us are more naturally developed psychics, but each of us can work on developing our psychic abilities further. First here’s a brief explanation of the types of psychic ability:
By the way, there is a difference between Psychic and Clairvoyant but that’s another story!
Clairvoyance (clear-seeing)
Having “visions”, seeing images (still or moving) on the inner screen of the mind (eyes can be open or closed).
Claircognizance (clear-knowing)
Having knowledge of certain situations/people/places without having any information to facilitate such knowing. This can be things of the past, present or future (premonitions). A common statement from people who are strong in this ability is, “I don’t know how I know, I just know.”
Clairaudience (clear-hearing)
Hearing voices, music and other sounds that do not have a physical source. This can include hearing voices of those on the “other side” (deceased people), our guardian angels or spirit guides, our higher selves.
Clairsentience (clear-feeling or clear-sensing)
“Feeling” things about people or situations that we otherwise could not know. People who are strong in this ability often talk about having “gut feelings” about things, and are usually very sensitive to energies and emotions of other people.
Clairalience (clear-smelling)
Smelling things that have no physical source. Very common in haunted areas, but can also be an indication that a deceased loved one is with us (i.e. smelling your mother’s favourite flower suddenly while in a closed room during winter). It can be their way of contacting us, letting us know they’re around.
Clairambience (clear-tasting)
Tasting things without having eaten them. Most often relates to spirit communication, as with Clairalience.
Developing Your Psychic Abilities
You have probably already recognized one or two of these psychic traits within yourself. Most people are strong in one or two of these senses, and not so strong in the rest. While you can learn to develop all of these senses, most commonly you’ll end up relying on the one or two you are naturally strongest in. Very often, people say that they don’t seem to have control over these abilities, it just happens “when it wants to”. By working on developing these skills, we make it easier to use them on demand. Development is very important if we wish to be in control.
Trust Your Intuition
When you first begin to practice using your psychic senses, you might get impatient with yourself and wonder if you’ll ever get it right. Don’t do that! As with anything else in this life, practice makes perfect! The more you work with these abilities, the better you will be with them. Don’t discount the information you’re getting. If you can verify it, go ahead and check. If not, then just acknowledge that you received it.
Does this mean that you’ll never be wrong? Of course not! If we were all-seeing and all-knowing, we wouldn’t be human, would we? As much as we work on developing our psychic abilities, there will still be times when we aren’t accurate. That’s okay. Sometimes our imaginations take over, that’s all. With practice you’ll get a lot better at knowing what is a true psychic impression and what is your imagination.
Psychic Information in Dreams
Can psychic information come in dreams? YES! In fact that’s very common. Remember though that dreams are very often symbolic rather than literal. Just because you dream of someone dying in a car crash doesn’t mean it’s going to happen! The car crash could be symbolic of something else in their lives, or in your life (obstacles, transformation, starting down a new path in life, etc.). It will be tremendously helpful for you to study symbolism and learn what various symbols mean to you. Don’t rely too heavily on “known” symbolic meanings though. It’s a good place to start, but ultimately you should think about what various symbols convey to YOU.
Remember – Development, Development, Development. It’s important!
