Understanding the Psychic Gift

By Tana Hoy

The term "psychic" is not new to everyone. In fact, every now and then we hear that word. A dictionary will tell you that psychic is defined as a person who can see outside of natural or scientific knowledge, or a person sensitive to influences or forces of a nonphysical or supernatural nature.

We all have elements of psychic abilities, but it is the degree in which we use them that differs. There are many different signs to know if you may be psychic, and there are many types of psychic abilities. Some people might even have more than one. If you have ever wondered what type of psychic ability you might have, here is a list of the top 5 most popular psychic abilities:

Clairvoyance

Clairvoyance comes from a French word meaning "clear seeing." The psychic gift of Clairvoyance means that a person can see places, scenes, situations, people, and objects that are far away by using the mind's eye. Generally, Clairvoyance is similar to another extraordinary talent called "Remote Viewing."

A person with Clairvoyant abilities can use their mind to connect with people, objects, and places that are far away, and see mental images of that far away person or place. Clairvoyance does not necessarily mean that the person has the power to see the future. But rather, Clairvoyance means that the individual has the capability to see regardless of location boundaries. Precognition, second sight, and seeing auras, are some types of Clairvoyant psychic gifts.

Clairvoyance is also related to other psychic abilities -- Clairaudience and Clairsentience. Clairaudience which means "clear hearing", is the unique ability of hearing sounds internally. A person with Clairaudient powers can pick-up message, sounds, or voices, regardless of location. On the other hand, Clairsentience means "clear feeling." A person with this gift has a psychic way of knowing that comes through their "feeling."

Psychometry

Psychometry is popular known as "object reading." People with this gift have the ability to pick up certain vibrations on an object and get a vision of feeling once they have touched the object. These vibrations are referred to as leftover energy residues from the person who owned it, and it is through these residues that a psychic can know information about a place, person, or event by touching an object associated with that person, place, or event.

Psychokinesis

Synonymous to Telekinesis, Psychokinesis is another popular but rare psychic gift. Psychokinesis is the ability to move and influence items using the mind. When one is gifted with this power, they can move objects with their mind -- like chairs, or even a human body. The Psychokinesis gift can even be used to influence the outcome of an object, like a slot machine.

Telepathy

Telepathy is another example of a psychic ability related to the mind. Telepathy is the ability to read the thoughts of other people. It is also known as the ability to communicate with another person by only using the mind. Commonly known as mind reading, this psychic gift involves the transfer of thoughts between conscious beings. Humans and even animals can be telepathic. This is why sometimes you find people who can easily work with animals, like animal trainers, for example.

Auric Sight

Auric Sight seals our list of the most popular psychic abilities. Auric sight is the special ability to see the aura, or that field of energy that surrounds others. Many people are not aware that everyone has an aura. Everyone has an aura that is unique in shape and color. The aura gives insight into the person's personality, moods, emotions, and health. It is the energy from a person's aura, that sends out "vibes" about a certain person or place at first glance.

The five special gifts mentioned above are just some of the most popular psychic abilities. Now the question is -- how do you develop your extraordinary blessing? To start with, you must know that there are numerous ways to hone your unique abilities. But, to let your inner psychic does not happen in a snap.

There are four concepts that one must live by to fully reach their psychic potential. I call them the four key secrets to unlocking the psychic within - awareness, acceptance, meditation, and optimism. With the right discipline, dedication, the right state of mind, and the right guidance; anyone can unleash this extraordinary ability. - 14130
