blog-post-9-0-original-ptGut feelings, strong instincts and intuition can be a sign of psychic ability, and these skills can be developed by anyone. Training and practice can create a stronger natural talent. Everybody can do this; for some it may be a quicker process, but everyone has a natural talent to do so.

There are 8 helpful ways to help you learn how to increase psychic ability:

1. Understand Your Awakening

OK, first things first.  When you build a house, you need a nice sturdy foundation for it, right?  You also need a nice, sturdy foundation when you are working to develop psychic ability.

In this step, you are exploring your awakening and coming to understand it.  In my personal experience, this was the most fun and special part of my spiritual journey.  It  lasted for several years while I did the other steps in conjunction.

This is the time when you get to know yourself on a soul level and discover things like who your spiritual guides are.

It’s when you are shedding your old skin and becoming a new and improved version of yourself – You 2.0!

2. Understand the Clairs

There are all different kinds of psychic abilities.  These are known as the clairs and they are the ways in which we receive intuitive information. 

We all receive psychic information in different ways.  For example, I am very clairaudient (I receive a lot of my intuitive information via hearing), but you might be very clairsentient.

When you understand the clairs, how they work, and the ways in which you receive intuitive information, you’ll be able to work with your gifts in the most effective way possible.

  • clairaudience
  • clairsentience
  • claircognizance
  • clairvoyance

There are also two lesser known clairs:  clairalience and clairgustance.

3. Strengthen Your Intuition

The more you practice using your intuition, the stronger it becomes – just like a muscle!  So let’s flex those psychic muscles and get them in tip-top shape!

A quick and simple way to do this is to start trusting your gut feelings about people and situations each day.

It’s wonderful to develop psychic ability by giving practice readings, but you also want to use your gifts in your everyday life.

Another very effective and fun thing to do is to practice psychic development exercises.  These can help take your abilities to the next level!

4. Meditate Daily

What-is-meditation2Meditation is uber important when you are working to develop psychic ability.  It helps quiet the mind and turn off all the jibber-jabber.

When you do this, your vibration raises and allows you to be in a relaxed state to receive intuitive information.  It’s key to psychic development!

If you are doing nothing else to develop your abilities, at least start meditating.  It’s free, easy, and only takes a little time each day.   As a super cool bonus, it will help relieve your stress (and we could all use help with that).

5. Practice Giving Readings

You know that little expression “practice makes perfect?”   Well, the same holds true for developing psychic abilities.

You can read a million books to build your foundation –  and that knowledge is great and important – but nothing takes the place of practice.  Practice is what fine tunes your skills, helps you understand where your strengths and weaknesses are, and makes you a great reader!

6. Read Books by Trusted Authors

Now I’m going to totally contradict what I just said and tell you to read, read, read!

It won’t take the place of practice, meditation, or any of that other important stuff, but it will give you a nice, solid understanding of whats going on.

And you know what they say:  knowledge is power!

7. Group Work

If you have a spiritual church or New Age store in your area, give them a call and find out about taking one of their psychic development classes.

Working with a group is fun and gives you the opportunity to learn about:

  • working with the energy with others
  • using your gifts in a safe environment

Some groups you’ll click with, and some you won’t.  Keep trying different ones until you find one that feels good for you.  Over the past 14 years, I’ve probably sat in on over 100 groups, and I’ve learned something from each one.

Some groups were a lot of fun and made me feel very comfortable.  In other groups, I learned what I don’t like.  The most important thing is to find what works for you.

8. Work With a Mentor

As we know, psychic development is a huge topic that has lots and lots of layers.  Sometimes, it can be overwhelming working through it all and knowing what to do next or how.

I know from experience how many questions come up when you are on your journey.

A coach can help you expand your gifts beyond your wildest dreams, and keep you going in the right direction.  They also help kick your butt when you slack off, and pick you up when you are down.
