Everyone has some form of Psychic ability and can use this psychic awareness to improve their daily life and share their psychic gift by helping others. But How do you begin?

Step 1
Connect to Your Intention and Focus. Dr Wayne Dyer is a great inspiration to me. I love his book, “The Power of Intention”. Through intention, I created an affirmation that I suggest you write down on a 3 X 5 card and read upon rising in the morning and before going to sleep at night to imprint this goal into the unconscious part of your mind. The affirmation is “Every day, I am becoming more and more psychic”.

Step 2
You have to believe that you are Psychic and gifted with the ability. When I first began psychic reading, I wondered if I was making up the information for my clients. I thought that perhaps I had a wild imagination! Fear would creep in for me because I wanted to get it right. Internally I felt paralyzed when I shared the things I was seeing, hearing, feeling. I focused on accessing the quality of TRUST. I connected to the small quite voice within that said “Joanna, it’s okay, give the information and all will turn out well.” When I heard the other voice “You’re making it up. Don’t say it, you’ll look stupid!”

Step 3
PRACTISE! PRACTISE! PRACTISE! The way I overcame my fear was to keep psychic reading. After each reading, I received confirmation that the information was correct. The more I read, the more confident I became and so now over 1,000 psychic readings later, I still hear the voice of doubt inside however the voice of trust is more strongly developed inside me. I acknowledge the voice of doubt and I do not follow its instruction. Do not give up, the psychic pathway is a rich and rewarding experience!

Step 4
Open your heart and your mind to being a receiver. Visualize the top of your head as a “radio antennae” that can pick up psychic transmissions through the airwaves. Radio waves are invisible to the human eye yet we know they exist or how would we hear people and music on the radio? Let your senses pick up on the unseen energies that exist around you.

Step 5
Meditation! I do some form of meditation every day. You may like to try a guided meditation CD to help you focus. Many of my clients have told me that they find it hard to sit, be still and meditate, too many thoughts arise for them and they feel bad that they cannot be perfect at meditation. There is no such thing as a perfect meditation! You could try “Soul Abundance” my guided meditation CD. It takes you on a powerful inner journey through visualization that will definitely heighten your psychic senses!

Almost everyone has experienced an event, even a small one, where they seemed to be able to foresee events, influence the outcome of a situation, or have an intuition about a person. Psychic ability is more common than most people think, and this is because there are many types of psychic abilities that most people are not even aware of. In order to be able to tell if you have psychic abilities you first need to understand all of the ways in which a person may have psychic abilities.

One of the most commonly thought of psychic ability is Clairvoyance. This is the ability to see events, places, and other mental images using the mind and tapping into the energy that surrounds us all. Psychics commonly use this ability to answer questions for people about future events and even to solve mysteries.

Another psychic ability that most people are familiar with is psychometry. This ability is when a person can perceive information about another person, place, or event by touching an object that is related to the person, place, or event they are trying to gain knowledge about. This type of psychic ability is sometimes used to find out details about crimes and missing persons.

Everyone has had an instance when they have had some type of intuition about a person, event, or situation. This intuitiveness is actually considered a psychic ability if you can use it in most situations and interpret the meaning of your intuition.

Some psychics also possess the ability to see people’s auras, the colors of energy that surround a person and give information about their personality, moods, and emotions. Psychic ability is not just about being able o foresee the future, it is about being in tune with the energy that surrounds and connects us all and being able to tune in to it to connect more deeply with people.

There are a few ways you can tell if you have psychic abilities and although most people will experience a bit of forethought or intuition in their lives some people naturally possess stronger psychic abilities. For people who don’t seem to possess innate psychic ability, it is still possible to tune into the energy of psychic ability with practice and dedication. Here are some questions to ask to determine if you may have psychic abilities:

• Do you have persistent intuition that gives you accurate insight into people, situations, and events?

• Are you very empathetic and find it easy to tell what moods and emotions other people are experiencing?

• Does it seems like you are able to influence the people and objects around you with your mood, i.e. when you are happy others cheer up and things seem s to go your way?

• Do you ever sense the outcome of a situation or have dreams, visions, or flashes of things to come?

• Do you experience déjà vu frequently or feel as though you have already seen or experienced what is happening?

Not every psychic has the same abilities or experiences the same things that alert them to their abilities. The most important thing to remember if you want to tap into your psychic abilities is to be open minded and connected to the world around you.
