Empathy - The ability to feel other people's emotions.

Telepathy - The ability to read other people's thoughts and send them yours.

Clairvoyance - The ability to "see" beyond the regular senses; the "sixth sense".

Clairaudience - The ability to "hear" the thoughts of others as well as spirits.

Clairsentience - The ability to know about something happening in the past, present, or future through "feeling".

Channelling - The ability to receive information THROUGH a person from an outside source. A person who channels is often called a "Medium".

Precognition - The ability to see ahead into future events

Remote Viewing - The ability to see and describe people and places without being physically around them.

Psychokinesis - The ability to move something in the physical world with the power of the mind.

Automatic Writing - The ability to write through the subconscious mind, which can be sometimes guided through an outside source. This is my prefer method of

Divination, which of course is using psychic abilities to try and prophesize the future. It is also my preferred method of channelling. I enjoy writing out all the information I receive through channelling non physical entities.

However, if you are older than 25 and when you were a kid, your parents told you that sort of stuff wasn't real, even if you kept believing, you might not want to bother with this method. Instead, fall asleep early, wake up late focus on your dreams, and meditate to calming music. You may not be so lucky to regain all your abilities, you may not be lucky enough to get any back, but most likely you'll get some. I hope I helped!

• Movies are not the same as reality and being psychic does not only mean you see into the past or future. There are many types and levels of strength of a psychic's power.

• If you are a psychic (a sensitive) you will be able to define that. Do you have dreams that later come true (premonitions) Do you 'sense' the change in the atmosphere around you at times in different places (perhaps a drop in temperature) Do you see shadow people (when you turn to look at someone you saw out of 'the corner of your eye' to find no-one is there) All of these signs point toward you being a 'sensitive' (psychic) plus of course many others. If you do then perhaps look into the many different types of meditation, choose one that suits you and after a while you will find it easier to tune into your own natural abilities.

• The best answer I've ever heard for this is "everyone is psychic just as everyone can sing. It's only on a scale from 1 - 10 how well one sings."

• Allowing yourself to improve your ability of intuition, sensitivity or gut-feelings, eventually brings about the title of "psychic". Some start out very early in life with more ability than most. Look at your life and evaluate how many times you "know without knowing why". Has that never happened to you or is it a common occurrence?

• There are numerous books you can read that take you step by step through a question/answer response to find out your abilities. Not all abilities are the same and abilities can be improved upon with practice.

• You can never know if someone else is psychic.

• If a person is truly psychic, they should be able to make accurate observations without information from "normal" means. Their insights or counsel should be "on the mark" and helpful. Many trained therapists are psychic, while many psychics would make fine therapists.

• Tux, the Penguin (January 20th ~ February 18th) Free and independent-thinking, those born under the sign of Tux the Penguin are quick with thoughts and ideas, even if the rest of the world might not understand the thoughts and ideas in question. Rather than express feelings and problems with loud and aggressive warning and error messages that are apparent to anyone, their inner settings may only be visible to those who know them and have learned where and how to probe for them. When it comes to romantic relationships, many people assume that those born under this sign would be incompatible or too complex, or that they simply wouldn't serve their needs, but with proper care and patience--and a certain amount of tweaking and experimentation--those born under the sign of Tux, the Penguin, are compatible with many platforms and star signs. NOTE FROM MARCY: People dream every 1/2 hour (or we'd go crazy literally) and if we aren't in a true REM state (deep sleep) then we can remember some of our dreams. While it is true that some people's dreams do come true, the percentages are extremely low. Stress, or unconscious remarks from a person or even a movie or program you saw on TV can twist and turn reality of the day into weird and strange dreams.

According to the best-selling book, Psychic Counseling (Harper-Collins)by Liz Hodgkinson, those people who are believed to be gifted or to have "second sight" usually have strong premonitions about something which is about to happen, whether good or bad. Similarly, in her book Mediumship Made Simple, Ivy Northage says that you are undoubtedly psychic if you dream prophetically, have hunches, see bright lights flashing across a book you are reading, have premonitions and/or hear voices. So your bad feeling or a shiver down your spine could mean that you have second sight. It could also mean that you are very aware of your surroundings and can quickly spot or tell if something isn't right. Not to poke fun at the subject, but a shiver down your spine could also be your body alerting you that you are cold. It will be up to you to decide which of the following most accurately describes your situation.

Maybe Something Else

It doesn't sound like psychic abilities, but it does sound like weak Empathy- not quite developed, you get something of a person's aura just by looking through them. When I say 'through' them, I don't mean literally. You're not looking at appearances, you're looking at the soul. When fully developed, you can feel and think everything the other feels and thinks. You're privileged. : )

ANSWER

(Note: In the below answer the experiences accounted for - such as the movie coming on, and the money being received are ones which portray the concept of "serendipity.")

I think all animals have probability of psychic abilities, but most of us (humans) dont tune into them.

I personally have had small insignificant prophetic dreams. I have also had the bad feeling many times, a sense of something just wrong and I feel terrible, it only lasted from a few seconds to a minute or 2.

I never knew and dont pretend to know what it is, so I do think the above posters thoughts are definitely a possibility, but I did always connect it to something psychic or spiritual.

I've also thought about something then noticed it the same or next day, (ie a movie I thought of, and it was actually on that night, (and no I hadn't read a tv guide or anything like that) thought of songs on the radio not on for years then its on, etc.

I think humans are capable of many things but dont usually take the time, or have the time and certainly I think our lives today make it difficult for people to tune into that part of us but I think it is certainly definitely there.

ANSWER

Agreeing mostly with answers above. Every human has psychic abilities, it is matter of exploring and concentrating upon them. Often modern human tries to rationalizes everything and believe what s/he can perceive by five senses. But sixth sense does exist but it cannot be explained to others. Just like you can show a picture of a orange to show how a orange looks like who has never seen an orange, but you cannot explain the taste of orange who has never tasted anything sour-orange like.

Psychic abilities can be achieved/improved like other activities. And it is not always bad feelings you get with psychic ability you can have good and joyful experiences too.

Psychic information comes to us in a variety of ways usually divided into 4 categories of extrasensory perception Intuition(empaths)-information through feeling "gut feelings", Clairvoyaince(clear seeing)-sight related info, visions and seeing auras for example, Clairaudience (clear hearing)-information that comes to you in words ranging from thought that sounds almost identical to your normal thoughts to messages you hear as a voice, and Clairsentience information you suddenly know without any idea how you know. Everyone has a little of each of these abilities and can with training improve them. Most people are strongest in one or two of the four, what sense comes most naturally to you is different for everyone. The more you pay attention to any extrasensory information and listen to it, the more you exercise that skill, the more often you will experience it and understand it.

No.

Yes everyone has some kind of genuine psychic ability's

you just have to know how to use them.

• There are certainly people with psychic abilities out there (the talented ones that were given this ability for good use only) but there are loads of crooks out there too. For example: If you meet someone at a party and want to fool them into believing you are psychic this is what you do: Look at the way they comb their hair, their skin, (you can tell if they are pampered or hard workers) are their finger nails super clean and manicured, or slightly dirty and are the palms of the hands calloused or smooth. By looking at the persons hands you can tell if they are an office worker or came from a privileged home and if the hands are rough with slightly jagged nails or a bit of dirt under the nails then they work hard with their hands (perhaps a mechanics or woodworker.) I've fooled people before by doing this by observing the person during the evening. I believe we all have psychic abilities but it is known we only use part of our brain and the brain has been the least studied organ of the body up until 15 years ago. There is much to learn about the brain because it's basically a circuit board to our body and without it we can't see, close our eyes, walk, talk, etc. If we were to study hard enough I do believe we are capable of becoming somewhat psychic. Think of this one. Often "instincts" or "gut feelings" are sluffed off as simply that, but in reality that's psychic ability. A mother may suddenly know something is terribly wrong with her child, while others around her will disagree with her. The mother is usually 99% right. We meet someone and we either really like them or a red light goes off and we suddenly just don't like them and are wary of turning our back on this person. Even walking down streets we may, without realizing decide one street makes the hair stand up on the back of our necks and we'll detour. The changes in our mind are so slight that we hardly notice half the time. Yoga or any type of meditating is good for a person as well as a belief system. Every living thing has an aura around it. I've studied auras and found the readings mesmerizing. I've seen my own as well and now medical science is using auras to find out where in the body the patient may have a problem. If the person is ill there will be a break in the body aura. Scientists also feel that when someone has lost a limb (especially a leg) the patient will often say they can feel an itch, but, the leg is not there, but the aura is! So, in reality the leg is not lost at all. The leg is physical, the aura I do believe is part of the soul. Once we die the energy leaves our body and the aura soars away. If we are more aware of what is around us, the 5 senses will kick in. Sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. Most of us are so busy we do things automatically, but if we took more time to "tune in" and use those 5 senses I think we could be more psychic than we realize.

• It doesn't mean the psychic ability lies in the hidden parts of the brain.

• Through the study and further development of mind, these things can be known. The brain is an organ of the body. it is not the mind. The conscious mind works in conjunction with the brain to gather information through the five senses. This information is stored in the brain to be recalled as needed for reasoning. It is through the use of the process of reasoning that intuition is developed. Intuition is a function of subconscious mind. The occasional psychic experience that we all have happens I see as a reminder of who we really are and serves to stimulate us to find out. Unfortunately, too often, it is kept in memory as simply a fascination rather than investigated so that further understanding could be developed. There is no such thing as coincidence or luck. By understanding how the mind works one can know how everything is caused from thought. To start with, everyone needs to keep a"psychic log, detailing impressions and the results", so as to see how it feels when the impression is correct, building trust in this ability.

• I think anyone who is willing to learn and put in the work can do anything and I think the human brain is capable of a lot and yes, you can 'make' yourself psychic. I wouldn't rule out anyone just because they weren't born with this ability, but humans can learn and that is one of the things that got us where we are.
• Some people don't believe in it or just won't listen they start to think its a joke and there's no such thing. People may think its a good thing and thinks its amazing but Iit can upset some people and can experience dreams which come true and having dreams about strangers who one doesn't even know should we say it's the Spirit world. Spirits also be seen as ghosts. Some people can see spirits or ghosts and many can't and no one knows why. Young children to teens are more open to seeing spirits or having psychic abilities and it can be quite frightening unless understood. You just need to keep attention and open be confident don't be scared. Everyone's psychic we would be all telepathic if we didn't have mobiles or home phones to contact each other.

• Be very careful lest you risk making yourself sick, or even worse, psychotic.

• There is a theory going on that we've had psychic abilities from the beginning on. This could explain how buildings like Stonehedge and the Great Pyramids have been built. The theory is about ancient people having psychic abilities, and by the use of tools, those abilities were used less and less, so it gets trained and maintained less and less so it degrades and gets worse. This can be compared to physical condition: when one trains, his condition goes up but when one doesn't exercise anymore, the condition goes down. So this means that the only thing to do is: exercise in psychic powers! And also, you have to believe, or you won't succeed anyway... For example, when you want to learn telekinesis, go focus on an object for at least 3-5 minutes and don't get distracted, then the only thing you see clearly is the object you want to move. Start small though, with things like pieces of paper and other light things. When you are focused enough, visualize the object floating upwards in your mind, moving without anyone touching it etc. You can also visualize the object standing on one side, as starter, and if you do this a couple of times, the object may just move once. The mind waves then are strong enough to move, or in a more related way, the mind waves (energy) is converted to kinetic energy and stored in the piece of paper. When enough energy is stacked up, the paper may move! I have tried this half a year ago myself, and one side already vibrated the first time!!

Answer: It has been proven that everything is made up of energy. The ability to be intuitive is within everyone. The secret is to raise your awareness/vibratory pattern to be able to access the energy of information. In addition, pure intent is also extremely helpful in working toward this goal. Remember, greed or ego will not only thwart or diminish the ability but can open you up to some regrettable consequences. Meditation is the best way to access your higher self, your inner self or whatever tag/name you wish to call it. Practicing deep breathing until you can reach that still part of yourself. Good luck!
