Types of Psychic Powers

There is not just one “way” to be psychic, there are many types of psychic powers that can present themselves to you during the course of your journey. Here is a short list of some of the most common types of psychic powers:

Diviners - These individuals have a gift for the ability to associate events and personal traits to common objects (like tarot cards, runes, I Ching Coins, etc), and identify what is likely to happen in a person’s life. A skill in divining is one of the most common types of psychic abilities, but that is not to say that they are any less gifted than anyone else.

Clairvoyant – A clairvoyant is a person who can “see” images of a far off place or time. These kinds of psychics tend to be reclusive or secretive about their skills because they would be considered loony by most of the world if it got out that they could see things others couldn’t. This is one of the rarest types of psychic abilities, and one that takes a great deal of time and training to nourish.

Clairaudient – A clairaudient is someone who can hear voices from a different place or time. This talent is similar to clairvoyancy, and is often shared by mediums and telepaths.

Medium – A medium talks to spirits, often with the help of a client, or a group of mediums who can help channel energy. These kinds of psychics often share a number of related skills, and have a vast storage of energy from which to draw, but are often unable to practice their art alone. If you find that you have premonitions of deceased individuals, it is likely that you have some skill in the art of mediumship.

Telepath – A telepath is someone who can read the mind of another individual. This is another relatively common psychic skill, though again, the depth to which you can train your mind to perform this task is wide and deep. I have personally met people with this type of psychic ability who could read the minds of specific individuals without them even being in the room, and can cause other psychics to have visions of them at any time or place. This is a powerful skill.

Dreamwalkers – Dreamwalkers are individuals who have the ability to receive messages through dreams. Often times, these types of psychics practice astral projection and lucid dreaming, giving them extra control over what happens to their spirit while they are asleep.

There are many more types of psychic powers, and this is by no means a complete list. I speak in great detail on this subject in my free newsletter and ebook, and the Psychic Institute course also finds this to be important.

How to Tell if You Are Psychic

Would you like to know how to tell if you are psychic?  There are many simple questions that could help reveal the answer, some of them seemingly neutral.  For instance, do you see faces or shapes in clouds, or just clouds?  Even such simple questions as whether your first impression on meeting a person is usually an accurate description of their personality.  Methods that describe how to tell if you are psychic are everywhere, and can be fun to test.

When playing board, card, or dice games, are you reckless and risk-taking, but still come out the winner most of the time?  This is another test that can be considered how to tell if you are psychic.  People with mental talents are often able to manipulate seemingly random objects without being aware of doing so.  The game of Yahtzee, for example, could be a strong indication of your prowess, since winning the game requires consistently rolling predetermined patterns with the five dice.  Those who always seem to roll just the combination they need could very well be displaying hidden talents.

We should also consider a person’s effect on machines.  When that person is elated, do machines seem to provide better results, or work flawlessly, and then become errant when that same person is upset or angry?  Learning how to tell if you are psychic means applying careful observation to events that are generally filed away as luck or coincidence.  The person who always seems to find money or other valuables while out for a random stroll is a great example, and uses the same ability as when someone knows unerringly how to find a destination they have never been to before.

There are many books that explain how to tell if you are psychic.  Most of them utilize questions similar to those given above, and examine what abilities could be responsible for coincidental occurrences.  Some people are “just lucky”, and others seem to have “a knack for such things”, never even debating the likelihood of possessing extraordinary talents.  This is something that should be studied the next time the fax machine jams and the phones don’t work after an especially stressful encounter.

Recognizing Psychic Powers

When you first start out in psychic power development, it is sometimes tricky to determine if you’re actually having a psychic premonition or if you’re accidentally making it up.  Recognizing psychic powers at the beginning is particularly difficult for some people when they are first awakening psychic abilities, while others will find that this kind of knowledge comes naturally. 

One of the surest ways to recgonize psychic powers is by looking at the activities and physical items surrounding your prediction.  If you look around you, you may have noticed something that piqued your interest and subconsciously reminded you of a long-lost friend.  Perhaps a friend made a comment about a situation that reminded you of a story you heard on the news.  When this happens, you must realize that this is not a premonition, it is your brain acting up.  Recognizing psychic powers often “feels” different, and the distinction is sometimes very minor. 

This is the most common reason for error among beginners.  Recognizing psychic powers will eventually come naturally, though it may take a month or two to truly appreciate this.
