Psychic Powers - A Quick Overview

By George Eastley

Psychic powers have been a very understudied and mysterious subject. Some people who have true paranormal powers have superhuman like perception that other people are not aware of, see, or understand. There has been a considerable lack study and understanding about psychic powers, so it is not hard to see why many people are afraid of such talents and powers. There is only a small percentage of people who have a high level of psychic ability even most people have a small degree of psychic power.

In most cases those who are psychic are described as having an extra "sense". Instead of 5 senses (involving sight, vision, hearing, touch and speech) there is an added perceptive ability that grants them the power to know, see, or feel things that are not in our present dimension.

There a some individuals that have psychic powers to the point where they can sense into future happenings before they even occur; others have a gift known as retrocognition (meaning that they can see into the past and experience the events that have already took place); and there are those who can see forms of energy, and spirits that other people around them cannot see.

Ancient civilizations saw these abilities for what they were. A lot of names has been give to the people who possesses psychic powers like fortuneteller, wise man, soothsayer, oracle reader, spiritualist, and mentalist. In fact, there have been myriads of pretenders to be truthful, and those people have added fuel to the fir of controversy.

There is no real need to pretend and act like you have powers such as this; everyone is born with some sort of natural gift. If these psychic powers are embraced however, they will grow strong and be able to control them more. Once a person has found out how to tap into their own psychic powers, you can use them whenever they are needed.

If you are ready to begin this journey you must first learn how to meditate and balance your mind, emotions and spirit. People who have true psychic powers also have discharged any negative emotions and unwanted thoughts. They have discovered how to clear their minds in order to open up to the energy and emotions of all that is in the world around them, both seen and unseen.

Once you begin to practice daily, regular meditation you will begin to feel the difference. This is when your inner potential starts to surface and you will start to feel more aware and alive than at any other time in your life. Your happiness, creativity and understanding of the world will begin to soar.

You need to schedule in a time for deep meditation daily to enhance your psychic powers. Spending thirty to sixty minutes in hard concentration will allow you to let out negative thoughts as well as emotion. Find a place that will sooth your inner most being from any distractions you may have. This place maybe in your house, a cave, or even a public park. It does not matter where the setting is, just so it will give you where you can concentrate and have some peace and security so you can concentrate on the positive.

Begin to study the feelings and emotions that course through your mind and body as you meditate. Learn how to disperse any negative thoughts with correct concentration and proper breathing techniques. As you practice these steps you will become more aware of the natural occurring vibrations in the world and learn to discern the many different types of energies. Developing your psychic powers to their fullest potential depends on your becoming attuned to the energy that connects everything in the world around you.

Just like anything you must practice your psychic powers to get them stronger. You may want to give tarot readings a try or even palmistry. Between your family and friends you will have more than enough people who would like to test you. Just keep in mind that the person you will be reading for must be open minded. Their degree of will helps keep the channels of psychic communication clear and will make it more easy to sense images or vibrations.

A sure way to increase your psychic powers is to do it every day. If you practice meditation enough to hone you skill you will be able to see the auras that surround people. You will soon enough see that you can actually see color and sizes of other people's auras without concentrating to hard.

Growing your psychic powers will allow you to see things like illnesses in people that do not know they are even sick. You will be able to discern true intentions of people by simply looking at their aura. As your psychic powers continue to grow strong you will be able to catch glimpses of past, present, and even future events. At this point, you must work incredibly hard and develop your psychic powers even further so you can channel these abilities on command.

The ability to speak with the "ghosts" of deceased individuals has been a topic of interest, curiosity, fascination and controversy for many centuries. There is good reason why younger children are usually the ones who can see and speak with these "spirits".

Our psychic powers are naturally much stronger when we are children. We have not had lessons on how to fear and avoid the unknown. By tearing down the defenses built up in our minds we can communicate openly. Adults still have psychic powers but you must be retrained to not fear what your eyes or the eyes of others do not see.

Also, keep in mind that children have stronger psychic powers because they are very open to ideas they do not really comprehend yet. Instead of pushing away a spirits presence or voice they will try to connect with and talk to them, it is only when adults interfere that those mental defenses start to go up.

You should take a lesson from kids and train yourself to have an open mind, free of pre-conceptions and inhibitions about both spirits and the unseen. If you can remove your fear and negative conditioning about ghosts and psychic talents then it will be much easier for you to reconnect with the life forces and energies that exist in the universe.

Having psychic powers is real natural phenomenon. The difference that exists is the level of perception you are born with and how hard you try and develop those abilities. If you put time and effort to growing these gifts it will assuredly reward you the chance to change the world that surrounds you and binds you.
