Amazing Psychic Abilities You May Actually Have (and Psychic Gifts!) Part Two
by Emmerey Rose
Did you know that many people with psychic abilities don’t even know they have them? Psychic phenomena are more common than most people believe. The United States government has studied the field, as well as countless respected scientists and paranormal investigators. It’s becoming increasingly apparent that a relatively large section of the populace has at least one psychic ability, locked away in the recesses of their mind.
Or perhaps it was a little more mundane. Many people have had the strange experience of picking up a landline phone and knowing who was on the other end, before a single word was spoken. Maybe you know a real psychic and admire their natural abilities.
Psychic abilities take many forms. To the uninitiated, they can be mistaken for ordinary powers of perception, intuition, or even sheer luck.
Luck only goes so far, though, and if you find yourself repeatedly making “educated guesses” that turn out to be amazingly spot-on, you might actually be exerting a psychic ability.

Later on in this article, you will learn what sets them apart and how to establish whether or not you are actually a psychic.

#6 – Clairscent
Clairscent is a psychic ability that is not commonly spoken of, but is nevertheless one of the most common to manifest itself. It is the ability to experience the scent of places or events where you have never been or cannot know of. Typically, one has to be thinking of the place for this to occur. Many people think they are imagining it when it happens. Different people’s brains are wired in different ways, and when psychic abilities surface for some, they go straight to the nose.

Tips for using clairscent:
Unlike other types of messages, this ability is based on your sense of smell. When focusing, a person needs to remain calm, collected and to open himself to scents surrounding him
The message always comes in some vague form. Because of this, it may be hard to understand it but in time, as you get more accustomed, it will become easier

#7 – Clairvoyance
Essentially, clairvoyance is the ability to see visions. Information that you cannot know will present itself to you visually, as your mind unconsciously reaches out to retrieve it. This may manifest itself as symbols or representations. Oftentimes, the power takes the form of strangely vivid dreams that turn out to be true. Take Nostradamus for example:
“Some of the famous prophecies by Nostradamus include the Death of Henry II, The Great Fire of London, the French Revolution, Napoleon, Hitler and the Atomic bomb.”
For some, the ability presents itself as words. Received visions may give us information regarding past, present and future events.

Tips for using clairvoyance:
This ability can be developed over the course of time. There are several methods that can help you develop it such as card reading, meditating, developing intuition and deciphering dreams
Although you might desire this power, you might fear it at the same time. This can pose a big obstacle. In order to overcome it, you will have to eliminate all doubts and let go
Start by concentrating and increasing your visualization power. Then, you are ready to ask a direct question
Let images flow into you. If you do understand the message, ask yourself what the meaning of it is. Keep repeating the question until you get the answer

#8 – Divination
Unlike most other psychic abilities, divination has a very important social layer. This is a process that allows us to foresee the future by reading various signs and omens. It was a crucial part of human history as tribal shamans tried to understood their surroundings and see what the future held for their people.
“When it comes to divination, the first thing that comes to mind is the Oracle of Delphi. When Persians came to invade Greece, the Oracle was asked for advice. They responded: “Pray to the Winds. They will prove to be mighty allies of Greece”. As it was prophesied, Persians lost a lot of their ships in a storm at Artemisium and were subsequently defeated by the Greek navy.”
Nevertheless, divination is something that was performed by highly spiritual individuals who are able to see past the corporeal world. There are certain similarities between divination and fortune telling although, as time went by, the latter form became much more popular.

Tips for using divination:
Prior to reading, you have to be relaxed and concentrated. This is the only way to get into a state of clairvoyance that will allow you to decipher signs
Create a good environment that will allow you to focus
Take the object from which you are reading and place it in front of you
Focus on one spot and take your time
When you receive the message, make sure to write it down. Sometimes, the message may have various meaning and you might misinterpret it (especially if you are inexperienced)

#9 – Empathy
Empathy is a term which is often used nowadays. Some believe that this is a psychic power; others see it as an ability based on intellect and high perception. Regardless of its origin, empathy is the capacity to understand other people’s feelings and perceive them as your own. It is a powerful tool that helps us understand others and aid them in their moment of need. Lastly, this ability can be quite advantageous in certain professions.

Tips for using empathy:
Before anything else, you have to be prepared for this gift
In order to become an empath, you need to be very sensitive in order to absorb other people’s feelings and energy
Whenever conversing with someone, pay attention to their movement and behavior. In time, you will be able to notice even the slightest changes
After a while, you will start sharing their feelings and experiences

#10 – Energy Healing
As its name implies, energy healing is a process during which individual is able to treat other person’s ailments by transferring his own energy to him. Today, this is one of the most popular (if not the most popular) forms of alternative medicine. We can distinguish three healing methods: hands-on, hands-off and distant healing. Procedure is performed by an individual who has excess life energy.
“Even though healing through hands is often mentioned in Christianity, Mikao Usui, a buddhist monk from Japan, is regarded as the founder of Reiki which is considered a modern form of spiritual healing. After a devastating earthquake that befell Kyoto in 1923, Usui who lived on nearby Mount Hiei, would visit the city every morning in order to heal the wounded.”
During the course of treatment, a practitioner is able to transfer their energy to a recipient increasing his vitality in the process.

Tips for using energy healing:
Energy healing is a process that needs to be performed by a healthy, vital individual. In that sense, you shouldn’t do it if you are not feeling well or if you are exhausted. Your body will need energy to heal itself so you won’t have enough energy at your disposal
Before the treatment, make sure to remove any jewelry from your hands
Be confident in your energy and the fact that you will be able to transfer it to another person
If you are using a hands-on approach, always remember to avoid using force. Otherwise, you may disrupt the energy flow. Instead, you should barely touch the recipient
Similarly, you shouldn’t be forcing your energy onto others. All you have to do is open your energy channels and let it flow into the recipient

#11 – Mediumship
Previously, we mentioned that some gifted people are able to sense the aura of others and manipulate their own spirit, detaching it from their body. Having this in mind, it comes as no surprise that psychics are also able to sense spirits of those who are no longer with us. Mediumship represents the ability to converse with the dead and pass their message to others.
“The existence of the human spirit is something that is universal for all the great religions in the world. When it comes to mediumship and conversing with the dead, it was first mentioned in “First Book of Samuel”, where prophet Samuel is raised from the grave in order to give valuable advice to Hebrew king Saul.”
A person who is performing the ritual is able to either hear the spirits or be possessed by them. Furthermore, mediumship is seen as a form of clairvoyance.

Tips for using mediumship:
When communicating with the dead, it is always better to have a group beside you. Usually, you will require additional people who will take messages and perform other tasks. Also, it makes the entire process that much safer
Create the right environment and cleanse the room
Focus and empty your mind
Now, you are ready to ask a question. First, introduce yourself. You will have to be very patient, polite and to state your intentions clearly
Take notice of other signs such as unusual sounds, tingles on your skin and change of room temperature
