Many ideas come to mind when using the term “psychic” in conversations. Most people have adopted the idea that this word means someone with a crystal ball who claims to be able to look into the future. This pop culture definition of psychic takes away from the most important meaning.
Psychic means the ability to tap deeply into the mind’s intuition to reveal a sixth sense.
Instead of paranormal abilities, think more along the terms of intuitive powers. Psychics are not fortune tellers. Instead, they are highly-sensitive individuals who actively use certain capabilities that lie beyond the known five senses (touch, taste, hearing, sight, smell).
We all have at least one psychic ability, whether we have identified it, or just “notice” things more than others. Psychic senses come in many forms. Some of the major ones are listed here, but there are literally dozens of psychic abilities:
- Astral Projection – The ability to send one’s energy body to other places or points in time
- Clairsentience – The ability to sense very clear feelings from others
- Clairvoyance – The ability to see objects or people in the mind that are far away or hidden
- Psychometry (or Vibroturgy) – The ability to sense and interpret vibrations that emanate from places and objects
- Telepathy – The ability to communicate with others through thought
The best way to know your own psychic ‘superpower’ is by sitting quietly while breathing deeply and calmly, and practicing concentration on a single thought or object. This helps to remove all the other noise and clutter that typically distracts the mind. The more one learns how to turn off the outside world, the more attuned the psychic ability can be.
For example: I have noticed that I can sense the feelings of others without any words being spoken. I can also read a person’s energy almost instantly to determine if they are happy, sad, angry, excited, etc. even if the person is trying to suppress emotions. Another ‘superpower’ that I discovered is my ability to walk into a room or most any other setting and feel if anything good or bad happened in the place sometime in the past. I even had a couple moments of prophesy, where I gained very vivid images of something that would happen if I went to certain events or places. Of the more profound type of ability, I have witnessed my wife inadvertently use her unknown power of telekinesis (the ability to move objects with thought) which surprised us both when it happened!
Though many psychic abilities can be learned and enhanced using certain practices, it is also important to be cautious on attaining these talents. Some of the methods found online can be dangerous to one’s spirit. It is important to learn how to safeguard oneself using verified protection techniques, and to COMPLETELY avoid certain props like ouija boards due to how some of these objects can open undesirable portals.

As far as crystal balls, they are wonderful for clearing energy in the room and focusing the mind. The spherical shape also brings in some mystical qualities. Crystals and precious stones are used for their vibrations and can help with healing. Learn more with this article about the power of crystals.
