Everyone has some level of psychic abilities, to varying degrees. You can develop your mediumship gifts, which can range from a simple “gut feeling” to seeing future events, through meditation, workshops, and a better understanding of the gifts you already have.
Extrasensory perceptions are something that a person with psychic abilities possesses, someone the ordinary person does not have.
Others have the ability to have out-of-body experiences, while still others are gifted with mediumistic abilities that allow them to see things that are not physically present in the room.
Today, it is common for people who possess psychic abilities to make it their goal to use these gifts for the benefit of others.
When people seek out the advice of fortune tellers, they are frequently in need of validation or reassurance for the choices they have made.
On the other hand, if you have a strong intuitive sense, you might not need to consult a psychic anymore because you already have psychic abilities of your own.
Mediumistic abilities include clairvoyance, astral projection, channeling, energy healing, precognition, psychometry, and telepathy among others.
Signs You Have Mediumship Skills
As someone who is well-read in occultism, astrology, and the reading of tarot cards, it is relatively simple for me to tell whether or not a person is psychic.
Certain planetary placements in a natal chart, tarot card readings, and even casual conversations about manifestation all reveal a person's psychic perceptions.
I'm always excited to meet other people who have psychic powers and share my observations with them.
However, despite my excitement, I always proceed with extreme caution: psychic thinking is not easy, and many people have misconceptions about what exactly this gift entails. Working with psychic talents requires patience, practice, and a lot of self-love.
Our parents teach us at a young age that these things are scams, and we begin to think of psychic gifts in general as something that is questionable and possibly fraudulent.
The first thing that many of us need to do in order to make use of our psychic abilities is to distinguish this idea from that of deception.
There are definitely con artists who use fear tactics to trick the naive or vulnerable in order to make a profit off of them. These individuals are not psychics.
Most of the time, pretending to be a psychic is just one of the many deceptive and exploitative practices that these impostors use.
People who are able to see, hear, feel, sense, taste, or have intuition beyond the limits of the physical world are referred to as psychics.
It is challenging, and perhaps even impossible, to provide a concrete definition of what is considered a “normal” perception by society.
After all, we have been conditioned to believe that our understanding of the world is fairly universal; for example, we think that everyone is aware that the sky is blue and can recognize when someone is in a bad mood.
However, if we expand this spectrum of senses even further, we quickly discover that certain senses are perceived less and less by others.
Through this realization, many of us become aware of our unique, innate mediumistic gifts.
1. You have vivid dreams
There will be times when your dreams will feel so real that they will leave an impression on you that will not only last for hours but even for days.
For instance, you may have dreamt about a person you haven't seen in a very long time, only to run into them the next day.
Not only do you dream at night, but you also do so during the day. For example, you might be daydreaming about getting a promotion, and then a few minutes later someone will tell you that you are going to be promoted.
It is important to take lucid dreams seriously because they are strong indicators that you may possess psychic abilities.
2. You have particularly keen senses
People who have mediumship abilities have extrasensory perception, and if you have the feeling that your senses are particularly sharp, then you may have it.
You may even find that you are able to sense the thoughts and feelings of other people and that you are able to finish their sentences, not just once and not just for one person, but many times for a variety of different people.
If this is the case, it's possible that you have the psychic ability of telepathy.
3. You have a strong gut feeling
If you notice that your gut feelings are often correct, this is one of the best indicators that you may have psychic abilities.
It may feel as though you are being pulled in a particular direction, which is typically associated with having a sense of knowing.
In addition, even average people can have these feelings occasionally, but what distinguishes a psychic from a normal person is whether or not their prediction is correct most of the time.
4. A sense of smell
This is the ability to smell a fragrance or odor transmitted by the mind. in most cases, those who are close by are unable to smell the odor.
It may be associated with the spirit that is sending the message.
5. You are extremely empathetic
Many people have the ability to be empathetic or put themselves in someone else's shoes.
On the other hand, if you have a tendency to feel so strongly and take other people's emotions as your own, even if they are happening on the other side of the world, then this is a good sign that you have some form of psychic ability.
If you are highly empathic, it means that you are acutely sensitive to the feelings of others.
6. Your new acquaintance looks blue or red
People who have special abilities often experience a phenomenon known as synaesthesia, in which the senses are in some way reverses, which causes them to have a unique perspective on how other people are perceived.
If this is the case, you should ask yourself if you've ever encountered a person who seems to be surrounded by musical notes, as well as someone who you associate with a certain color or landscape.
If this is the case, it is a sign that you may have some psychic gift or talent.
7. You can predict future events
The ability to predict the future is different from having gut feelings. This is the most obvious sign that you have mediumship skills, especially if you get it right almost every time.
You don't have to accurately predict big events; rather, even minor events predicted are valuable.
8. You have visions
People who have mediumship skills have the ability to “see” things presented to them in their mind's eye or third eye.
You see them through mental flashes that include images of people, scenes, places, objects, spirits, symbols, and colors.
9. You receive messages from touch
This is also sometimes referred to as psychometrics. You can pick up a message from an item simply by touching it or holding it in your hand.
The item can be personalized, and it contains the vibration of the owner somewhere within its composition.
You are able to recognize the owner's personality and may see, hear, or feel situations that are going on around the person, past or present.
10. You have good hearing
This is the ability to “hear” messages coming from the spirit world. These messages are delivered to your consciousness directly.
Sometimes, like when you are listening to the radio, you will hear a voice calling your name, or you may hear a mixture of voices.
7 Tips and Exercises for Mediumship
Further developing your mediumship abilities and opening your third eye shouldn't be hard things. Here we provide you with some helpful tips.
1. Visualization exercise
Your third eye will become more developed and sharp if you practice visualizing. There are a lot of different ways to do this exercise, but my favorite way is to use flowers.
To get started, bring a flower into the room with you and spend some time observing it. Next, close your eyes and picture the flower in your mind's eye with as much detail as you can.
Do not change the color, shape, size, etc. Your psychic vision will improve with the help of this exercise.
2. Connect with your spirit guides
After making initial contact with your spirit guides, it will be much simpler for you to request that they demonstrate beautiful pictures when you have made contact with them.
But if you've never established a connection with your spirit guides before, there's no need to worry; doing so is much simpler than you might imagine.
In fact, you won't find a more straightforward psychic exercise than this one. To get started, communicate with your spirit guides on a regular basis throughout the day.
For instance, if you are in need of intuitive guidance or assistance with making a decision, you should ask your guides for it. Don't worry, they're able to hear you.
After that, pay attention to any intuitive cues that you feel or images that come to mind.
3. Practice seeing auras
Anyone can learn to see auras, as everyone already possesses the ability to see energy around living things.
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that doing this can help develop mediumship abilities. Have a close friend stand in front of a solid color wall.
The next step is to move back approximately 3 feet; at this distance, you should be able to see your friend's head and shoes without having to look up or down.
Next, bring your attention to the top of your friend's head, the third eye area. Imagine looking through it to the wall behind. You will start to become aware of the aura layer that is around the head.
4. Write in the diary
After you have established a connection with both your higher self and your spirit guides, you want to make some notes.
I have stated in the past, and I continue to firmly believe, that keeping a journal is very useful. It strengthens your connection with your intuitive abilities, such as mediumship.
5. Give readings often
You can spend all day reading about psychic development, but at some point, you will need to put what you've learned into practice and give some readings.
Giving readings to family members, friends, and even acquaintances of friends is one of the most effective ways to hone these abilities, despite the fact that it can be nerve-wracking at first.
6. Incorporate meditation into your daily routine
You will find that meditation is one of the most beneficial and important mediumistic exercises that you can do.
It is great because it connects you to your higher self, makes you earthy, and increases your vibration, giving you access to all the psychic goodness in the universe.
7. Use rosemary essential oil on your third eye chakra
Essential oils have a wide range of applications, including the enhancement of psychological growth, and I trust them.
To strengthen the medial power with rosemary oil:
- Apply a very small drop to your third eye chakra and rub it in (between your eyebrows). Make sure it doesn't get in your eyes.
- Tell yourself that one of your goals is to improve your mediumship abilities.
- Afterward, meditate while enjoying the calming scent of the oil.
Other things you can do to increase your psychic powers
Go for coffee with your intuition
Imagine running into an old friend from your childhood who you haven't seen in several years. How would you feel?
You are delighted because you are reflecting on the past and can vividly recall the one-of-a-kind dynamic of your relationship.
However, a significant amount of time has passed since your playing days, and despite the fact that your old friend is still the same person, the two of you are now, in many respects, complete strangers.
You need to spend some time getting to know the real you before you can successfully form new friendships. Treat your intuition as if it were an old friend from your childhood if you want to develop your psychic abilities.
Because it has always been a component of your mind, it is only natural for you to be familiar with your intuition. However, the way you work together will be very different from how it was in the past.
Develop a relationship with your intuitive side by engaging on a daily basis. Putting your feelings into different colors can be a fun and easy exercise.
Think about something very basic, to begin with, like a frustrating conversation you had with your boss or a flirtatious text exchange you had with the person you have a crush on.
Then pick colors that remind you of those emotions that you just described (in this example we choose yellow and pink respectively).
Your intuition will be able to communicate with you through this non-verbal language after some time has passed, and this color will eventually come to be associated with the feeling in question.
After the color and the energy have combined, your intuition will be able to point to events outside your immediate realities.
If you start to see pink when your girlfriend starts telling you about her new co-worker, then you will immediately know that there is a romantic relationship between the two of them.
Scan the room
Conducting what are called “environmental scans” on a regular basis is another excellent way to hone your psychic abilities.
To accomplish this, you should position yourself in the middle of the room. Observe the sights, sounds, and smells as you move around the room.
Which regions are the most enticing? Which ones are the least? Explore the corners, the windows, and the furniture. How do these energies make you feel?
I am aware that engaging in this practice may, at first, feel a little strange, but it's worth it. Perform these scans in many environments, such as parks, bars, offices, and even the subway, to gain more experience.
The more aware you are of your surroundings, the easier it will be for you to detect subtle shifts in energy.
With enough practice, you'll eventually be able to apply this skill not only to future events but also to past memories.
The ability to create out-of-body experiences at will is known as astral projection, and this is the first step toward achieving that ability.
It takes years of practice to be able to astral project, but doing environmental scans will help you develop your psychic abilities further.
Get dreamy
Using our subconscious mind is one of the most effective ways to access our psychic abilities.
Throughout our lives, we are constantly putting up boundaries to restrict the amount of information and experience that we take in, and there is sound logic behind this practice.
It is impossible for us to take in everything that comes our way and still maintain a healthy lifestyle. Developing a healthy relationship with your subconscious is the quickest way to activate your mediumship.
Dreams are an excellent entry point into this world because they represent a parallel reality to the one we experience when we are awake.
Free from physical constraints, we can move effortlessly between spaces. This allows us to discover new lands, go back in time, and interact with otherworldly beings.
Dreams are a gateway into the subconscious, and the more acquainted we become with this world, the simpler it will be for us to access the full scope of our psychic abilities.
Make sure you always have a pen and paper close to your bed: as you become more familiar with your subconscious, you will begin to see the incredible fluidity between worlds.
