Psychic Development & a Belief in Oneself

Like many people, I have a fascination with psychic phenomena.

It began in childhood and paralleled a general obsession with spirit in all of its forms.  I was then, and still am, a good guesser (once accused of cheating after acing a test on a book I had not read).

There were certain things I couldn't quite explain.  From an early age, I was able to sense what I now think of as the energy of a person or a place, and sometimes heard paranormal activity.

On several occasions over the course of my life I experienced vivid and unusual phenomena in meditation, in dreams and while on the edge of sleep. These included seeing and sometimes communicating with passed loved ones. In my dream diary I continue to record spiritual instruction received during sleep.  

And of course for many years I read cards both for friends, over the psychic phone lines and in my own home card reading business. Still, I do not consider myself psychic in the usual sense of the word. But I'm beginning to wonder if I need to believe in my own potential a bit more in order to improve.

Either way, I am interested in learning more about psychic ability and will be sharing some of what I learn here, beginning with the four main categories.

Telepathy - the ability to hear or pick up on the thoughts of another person.  It is the most common psychic ability.

Clairvoyance - the ability to see images of an event or events that occurred in the past, present or future. Images may be literal or symbolic.

Precognition - is the ability to see the future.  Can be experienced in a variety of ways with the most common occurring in and around dreams.

Psychokinesis - the ability to move objects with the power of the mind. This unusual psychic skill may be related to poltergeist phenomena.

I will be writing more about this in a future post!
