How PSYCHIC POWERS, EXTRASENSORY PERCEPTION (ESP) and MEDIUMSHIP work!

My intention for today’s post is to help you to understand better psychic powers, or extrasensory perception, and mediumship!

In the first part I will give you an overview, some basic concepts and ideas. In the second, I will explain the 4 main types of psychic abilities and how they work. And in the third and last one, I’ll tell you what are the biggest challenges and difficulties that you might encounter if you decide to develop this kind of skill!

Demystifying Psychic Powers

When we hear psychic powers, the first thing that comes to our mind is superheroes because of the movies we watch. We have a lot of preconceived ideas on this subject, and I would really like to demystify some of them today!

The first general idea that people have is that psychic powers are a gift. I do not agree with that! I see it as a skill, and I believe anyone could develop it! And you need to hear this from someone (me) who has sat for over a year to practice and learn how to channel spirit guides!

The logic behind this is because we are energy beings within a physical body, and as we learned to focus on this physical experience, we forgot how to use our energy senses, but they are still there!

To understand better, look at it as physical flexibility. All babies are born extremely flexible and as they grow, some manage to keep it while others lose it. But if everyone cultivated this natural ability, everyone could have it after they became adults. Of course, the older you get, the rustier you get, and the harder it is to relearn, but still, it’s not impossible!

If you want to know how, in my last post on how to open the doors of your mind and connect with the universe, I spoke about it, click here to read it!

Before moving on to the next topic, let me clarify one more thing, in the dictionary there is a difference between psychic skills and mediumship, the latter being the communication with people who have passed away. The difference in terminology is how you use the skill, but the muscle responsible for it, is the same! It’s about relearning to use your energetic senses and opening your mind to translate and understand them!

How Extrasensory Perceptions Work

The most common extrasensory perceptions are known as the 4 Clairs:

• Clairvoyance: clear vision
• Clairaudience: clear hearing
• Clairsentience: clear feeling
• Claircognizance: clear knowing

These extrasensory perceptions are like your own physical senses, usually you have all of them working, but some are sharper than others.

They all happen inside yourself, they are not external! I’ve read a lot about this subject and it’s very rare to find a person who claims to see, spirits for example, as if they were seeing with their physical eyes!

How does it work then? I get this question often because I am always saying that I can receive guidance from my spirit guides, the way I see and hear them happens inside my mind! It’s like a flash with a clear image of something, or a short sentence that pops into my thoughts out of nowhere!

It’s the spirit guides’ job to guide us, and I’m sure they talk to all of us! I’m also sure they get very frustrated because most of the time we don’t pay attention to them! The challenge lies in learning the difference between when it’s them talking to you and when it’s the voices of your mind.

When the voice is coming from your mind, there is a thought formation process! You ask a question and your mind immediately starts to reason out the options in order to give you an answer. When it comes from your psychic senses, there is no thought formation process, it is literally like a popup that appears out of nowhere! And the tone and vibration are like a flat line!

When it’s an orientation, what you see or hear pops into your mind two or three times over the course of a few days. It’s very short and assertive! It doesn’t come with a full explanation! I’ve seen clear dates in my mind’s eyes many times, and I never knew what it was until the day came and something happened!

Clairsentience happens when you feel the vibrations of people, places or even situations. Do you know when you meet someone who is not well and your energies drop? Or when you meet people who are in a high vibration and your energies elevate? Or even when you go to places and you can feel if there’s positive or negative energy there? All of this is clairsentience! You can also use this skill to try to sense the energies of an encounter or an upcoming situation, just focus on them and try to feel what vibration you get!

Claircognizance is psychic knowledge! It works as a download of information you need to know! Do you know when you know something and you don’t even know how you know it? That’s it! For example, when you feel like you need to apply for a certain job, and you get the job, or when you feel like you need to call someone, and when you call the person really needs to talk to you. That’s how it works!

In my opinion, all these senses work together! The same thing happens with your physical senses as well, when you eat something for example, you use your eyes, your smell, your mouth and sometimes even your touch. We all have extrasensory perceptions, some people pay more attention, others not so much, but they are available to all of us!

Challenges and Difficulties to Develop Psychic Powers

Now let’s talk about the difficulties you may encounter if you choose to develop your psychic powers or extrasensory perceptions!

The first barrier is fear! Many people are afraid of seeing ghosts or interacting with negative entities. Based on my own personal experience, I can tell you that this is quite unlikely because using these skills is like tuning in to a radio, you have to focus on the energies you want to read or perceive, so if you feel something negative, you just need to take your attention away from it!

To illustrate, let me give you an example. After I learned how to use these skills, I went to a cemetery and had to shift my attention, scan the place, to see if I could feel the spirits that were there. Then I could feel their presence! But as soon as I took my attention away, it was over! It doesn’t happen out of the blue, you really have to focus to get something because it’s all very subtle! Unless it’s your spirit guides yelling at you because it’s their job to push you in the right direction!

Another difficulty you might encounter is dealing with your logical mind because it will keep saying that you are imagining things! Most of my past life regression clients left the session wondering if they made it all up. It is normal to doubt this kind of thing! Even myself, it took me 2 years to recognize that I was channeling my spirit guides, I really thought I was making it all up! It wasn’t until I had some information that I could never have known or guessed that I stopped doubting and started to believe! When you start working with subtle energies using these senses, it takes time for you to learn how to trust.

Your intention will determine the way you use these senses. I only use it to get directions, like a GPS that helps me know which is the best direction in my life! I don’t do energy readings for other people, but other people may choose to work with psychic readings or even as a medium between the living and the dead. If you choose to develop these skills, it will depend on your intention, your inner calling, you are the one deciding how you will use it!

To learn how to work with subtle energies might help us a lot in life, especially with personal growth, and as we are energy beings, it’s our birthright!
