Who is psychic? Are some people more psychic than others or could it be that some people are just more regularly in tune with their spiritual side?

You might think you have had no psychic experiences but maybe you have without even realising it.

Ask yourself for instance whether you've ever had a feeling of déjà vu? Or have you occasionally found yourself looking at the telephone seconds before it started ringing? Can you sometimes tell what people are going to say before they utter the words? Or has an impulse ever led you to change plans or to change the route of a journey, perhaps because of an uneasy feeling about continuing as planned.

Psychic ability or ESP - extra-sensory perception - can show itself in many ways including Telepathy, Clairvoyance, Mediumship, Dowsing, Dreams, Intuition and Precognition. ESP in its many forms helps people to open their minds to such possibilities. Some areas you may already have heard about, some might be new to you. Some will interest you more than others. There are many different exercises and experiments that can help you develop your psychic powers.

Developing your Psychic Senses will help enrich your life by helping to

  • put you in touch with your subconscious
  • feel more in control of your destiny
  • enhance your personal relationships
  • heal yourself and others
  • enjoy a more relaxed style of living.

The first step to increasing your mental powers and spiritual understanding is to believe in yourself and believe in your psychic abilities. Rid yourself of any notion that only 'special' people are psychic. That is not so. Everyone is psychic and pursuing exercises to develop your intuition will help put you in touch with your higher self. So where do you start?

Learning to Quieten Your Mind

How much time do you spend each day alone? The answer to this will of course depend on your obligations towards others. However, if you want to tap into your inner resources, it's important to start devoting at least 15 minutes a day to yourself. You will need to find somewhere peaceful where outside distractions are at a minimum; a place where you can feel relaxed and comfortable.

Before you can start on any psychic work, you must learn how to become completely relaxed. You may already be familiar with relaxation techniques but if you are new to this, you might like to try the breathing and relaxation exercises here: Meditation for Psychic Development

The more you do this, the easier it will be to quieten your mind, ready for your psychic development to begin.

Everyone Is Psychic

Everyone has some degree of psychic ability. People depend on their intuition sometimes without even realising it. They might make what seems like a lucky guess after a flash of intuition. Learning how to meditate can be the first step towards enhancing spirituality. This will help strengthen power of concentration and increase psychic energy.
