25+ Signs & Tips on How to Awaken Your Psychic Abilities

Have you always been fascinated with psychic abilities? Are you intrigued with how to how to tap into your psychic intuition? From a very young age, I dreamt of being able to move physical items with my mind. The dreams were so vivid that when I woke up, I was genuinely confused as to why they weren't working anymore. I sincerely believe this isn't a dream; it's a memory from my past life as a starseed.

As I've healed trauma and become more aligned spiritually, I've tapped into my own psychic abilities that I once thought were not possible for me.

In truth, we are all born with psychic abilities because we are all energy. We have different ways we can tap into our gifts but we all have gifts. When we tap into our divinity, we can expand these gifts—whatever name you want to give them.

In this blog, you will learn more about what it means to embrace psychic gifts and the best way to expand your psychic abilities. Remember, we live in a world with a veil. We all have these gifts, but we came here forgetting our truth.

This veil is meant to be a teacher as we grow spiritually and come back to our truth and when you begin to peel back the layer to access the spirit realms, you will begin to blossom and experience your own psychic powers.

The most important thing is to listen to your body, connect with yourself in a meditative state as often as you can, and practice.

12 Signs You Have Innate Psychic Abilities

It is helpful to recognize the signs suggesting that you have strong psychic abilities, as this will help you to develop your intuitive skills. Learn to tune into your inner voice and those gut feelings, because that is your gift trying to get you to listen.

Many people can experience subtle indications of their psychic potential without fully understanding the significance of these signs. The first thing to understand is that psychic abilities happen in your physical body, so ask yourself... are you in tune with your physical body?

Here are some common indicators that you have strong innate psychic gifts:

1. Strong Gut Feelings

One of the most common signs of psychic ability is experiencing strong gut feelings or intuitive hunches. Do you often know something is going to happen before it does? Or you have a strong sense of a person or situation without any logical explanation, this could be your intuition at work.

2. Vivid Dreams

Vivid dreams or lucid dreams can provide insights into your waking life and can be a sign of psychic ability. Do you have dreams that later come true or offer guidance? Your subconscious has the ability to tap into spirit realms during sleep and your dreams can be part of your ability to tap into the psychic realms.

3. Sensitivity to Energy

Psychic individuals are often highly sensitive to the energies around them. (This is me!) Can you feel the energy of people around you as soon as you walk into a room? Can you feel the energy of animals? What about plants? For me, I connect deeply with trees. I can feel their energy and hear their wisdom.

Sensitivity to energy is something that I thought was all trauma response for a long time, but as I started to heal trauma and embrace my truth, I started to be able to discern between the two. If you are sensitive to energy, I highly encourage you to learn more about understanding the difference between your sensitive nature and trauma.

4. Frequent Déjà Vu

I believe déjà vu is a spiritual sign from the universe that you're heading in the right direction. Experiencing déjà vu regularly can be an indication of psychic ability. Do you often feel like you’ve been somewhere or done something before? Even though it’s your first time?

We live in a low-density frequency, yet our soul has experienced a lot before now. Déjà vu could be a sign that you are tapping into past life experiences or parallel realities.

5. Strong Empathy

Being highly empathetic, or feeling the emotions of others as if they were your own, is another common sign of psychic ability. This heightened sensitivity to emotional states can sometimes be overwhelming but is a clear indicator of a deep intuitive connection.

Again, this is another gift that deserves attention and healing.

Trauma can mimic empathy and make us hyperaware as a trauma response. When you begin to understand the difference between your trauma and your innate empathy, it opens the door to spiritual connection.

6. Seeing or Hearing Things Others Don’t

Do you occasionally see shadows and flashes of light or hear voices that others don’t? You might have clairvoyant or clairaudient abilities. Clairvoyance is the ability to see things that are part of a different spiritual realm, and clairaudience is the ability to hear things from a different spiritual realm.

These experiences can be subtle and easily dismissed, but paying attention to them can help you understand your psychic potential.

7. Knowing Who’s Calling Before Answering

A common psychic experience is knowing who calls or texts before checking your phone. It's not a coincidence, no matter how much you keep trying to convince yourself that it is. This seemingly mundane occurrence can be a sign of telepathic abilities or a strong intuitive connection with certain individuals.

Remember, we are all energy, being able to know things before they happen is a strong indication that you are able to tune into subtle energies on a psychic level.

8. Strong Connection to Animals and Nature

Many psychics feel a strong bond with animals and nature. Depending on your own unique gift, you may feel connected more deeply to a certain type of animal or piece of nature. I resonate as an energy Shaman with a deep connection with trees. I can feel the energy of trees; they speak to me on a subtle level.

Do you have an animal or something in nature specifically that calls to your soul and you can't logically put it into words? If you find that animals are drawn to you or feel a deep sense of peace and connection when in natural settings, this could be a sign of your intuitive abilities.

9. Experiencing Synchronicities

Regularly encountering meaningful coincidences or synchronicities is often a sign of psychic ability. Again, try as you might to chalk it up to coincidence, these events are far more powerful than you are giving credit. These events might seem random but carry significant personal meaning and can indicate that you are in tune with the flow of the universe.

10. Spontaneous Insights

I can always sense I'm on the right path when I get spontaneous insights because I know it's my higher self guiding me to my highest potential. You see, we try to use our ego mind to drive our life, but the ego mind is incredibly limited.

When you enter a meditative state and allow flow, you receive guidance from the expansive universe. That's when you begin to receive spontaneous insights or knowledge about situations or people. These moments of clarity often come suddenly and without logical reasoning.

11. Strong Visualizations

Can you easily visualize objects, places, or scenarios in your mind with great detail? You might have a natural talent for clairvoyance. Strong visualizations are often linked to psychic abilities and can be developed further with practice.

Our souls carry memories from previous incarnations, and these memories can manifest as intuitive insights, vivid dreams, or strong visualizations.

12. Interest in the Occult or Metaphysical

Are you naturally drawn to the occult and metaphysical? If you find yourself drawn to subjects like astrology, tarot, or energy healing, this could be your intuition guiding you toward exploring your psychic gifts. Being attracted to the occult and metaphysical isn't just a casual interest; it often signals a deeper calling from your soul. These practices have been used for centuries as tools to connect with higher realms, gain insights, and heal.

How many signs do you have of psychic abilities?

Recognizing these signs is the first step towards embracing and developing your psychic abilities. Pay attention to your experiences and trust in your intuitive insights. With practice and an open mind, you can further hone your gifts.

So, once you have a strong inclination to have psychic abilities, how do you enhance them? Understanding how to tap into your psychic intuition is a journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. By honing your intuitive abilities, you can access deeper levels of understanding and connect with the spirit world.

14 Tips to Develop your Psychic Skills & Enhance your Intuition

1. Meditation is key

Meditation is the foundation of any spiritual practice as it allows you to break free from the conditioning of this world. It's hard to tune in when you are distracted by the fast-paced world around you. Meditation is the first step to connecting with your psychic abilities.

A regular meditation practice helps quiet the mind, allowing your inner voice to emerge. This relaxed state is essential for receiving intuitive messages and connecting with higher realms of spirit. Start with short sessions and gradually increase the time. Focus on your breath and visualize a white light surrounding you, providing protection and enhancing your spiritual connection.

2. Keep a Dream Journal

Trust me when I say this: write it down. I was always hesitant to take the extra time to write down my dreams because I felt like it was a waste of time. However, once I actively kept a journal, I noticed a shift in my dreams. Your subconscious mind communicates through dreams.

Keeping a dream journal on a daily basis can help you interpret these messages and understand your psychic potential. Vivid dreams and out-of-body experiences often contain intuitive insights. Write down every detail you can remember upon waking, as dreams can fade quickly. Over time, patterns and recurring symbols will emerge, providing deeper insights into your intuitive abilities.

3. Practice with Tarot Cards

Using tarot cards is a great way to develop your psychic skills. Tarot cards are a divination tool that can help you tap into your inner knowing. Often, practitioners will start with Tarot cards as a way to practice their innate spiritual gifts and, over time, find they no longer need the Tarot cards to tap into this wisdom. Tarot serves as a tool to focus your intuition and connect with spirit guides.

This practice can also enhance your psychic senses and open your third eye. Begin by studying the meanings of each card and practicing simple spreads. As you become more comfortable, allow your intuition to guide your interpretations rather than relying solely on the traditional meanings.

4. Practice Listening to Your Gut Feelings

Listening to your gut feelings is crucial. We live in a world where we are trained to actively ignore our intuition. Every time you deny your gut feeling, you get farther away from your inner knowing and truth. It can take time to re-establish this connection. These strong feelings are your spiritual guides working to guide you.

Trusting this inner voice is one of the best ways to tap into your psychic abilities. Pay attention to the sensations in your body when making decisions. Your gut feelings often manifest as physical sensations, such as a feeling of warmth or a sense of unease.

5. Explore Divination Tools

There are many divination tools available that can help you explore your gifts. Tarot cards are a very popular tool. You can also explore things like a crystal ball, crystal pendulum, or dowsing rods. I never recommend a Ouija board for the sake of exploring your gifts.

The ouija board tends to be associated with more negative energy work, and when you are exploring your abilities, it's important to focus on love and light in your work. Try various tools and techniques to see which resonates most with you. This exploration can help you identify your strongest psychic skills.

6. Connect with Your Spiritual Guides

One of the best ways to expand your psychic gifts is to build a connection with your spirit guides. Building a relationship with your spiritual guides is hugely valuable for psychic development. They can offer guidance and support as you navigate your spiritual journey.

Regularly communicating with your spirit team can strengthen your psychic contact. Ask for their presence during meditation and be open to the signs and messages they send.

7. Practice Environmental Scans

Paying attention to the energy in different environments is a good idea for enhancing your psychic senses. Performing environmental scans can help you become more aware of a person's energy and the subtle shifts in your surroundings.

Practice this by closing your eyes and tuning into the energies around you, noting any changes or sensations you feel.

8. Cultivate an Open Mind

Keeping an open mind is one of the most important things you can do on your psychic journey. Being receptive to new experiences and perspectives allows your intuitive abilities to flourish. Avoid dismissing any intuitive impressions, even if they seem unusual or unexpected. An open mind fosters a deeper connection with your psychic senses.

9. Pay Attention to Your Physical Senses

Your physical senses can provide clues to your psychic abilities. Notice how your body reacts in different situations. These reactions can often be intuitive messages from your psychic self. For example, a sudden chill or a feeling of warmth can indicate the presence of spirit guides or other energies.

10. Use Personal Items

Using personal items, such as jewelry or photographs, can help you connect with the energy of others. This practice, known as psychometry, can provide insights into a person's energy and enhance their intuitive abilities. Hold the item in your hands, close your eyes, and allow impressions or images to come to you. This can reveal information about the person or their experiences.

11. Maintain a Relaxed State

Staying in a relaxed state is crucial for receiving intuitive messages. Too many stimuli can block your psychic senses. Regular relaxation practices, such as yoga or deep breathing, can help maintain a calm and receptive state. Make relaxation a part of your daily routine to keep your mind and body open to intuitive insights.

12. Seek Guidance from a Spiritual Teacher

A spiritual teacher can provide invaluable guidance on your psychic journey (if you are seeking spiritual guidance, I'd love to welcome you to work with me). They can help you navigate the challenges and provide insights to enhance your psychic muscle and intuitive abilities. Look for a teacher with experience and a teaching style that resonates with you.

13. Connect with Nature

Spending time in nature can enhance your psychic abilities by grounding your energy and connecting you with the Earth's vibrations. Take regular walks in natural settings, practice mindfulness, and tune into the energy around you. This connection can strengthen your intuition and provide clarity.

14. Practice Visualization

Visualization is a powerful tool for enhancing psychic abilities. Practice visualizing different scenarios, objects, or people in detail. This exercise can help you develop your third eye and improve your ability to receive intuitive messages.

Types of Psychic Abilities

Clairvoyance (Clear Seeing)

Clairvoyance is the ability to see things that are not visible to the naked eye. People with this ability might see images, symbols, or scenes in their mind’s eye, providing insights about people, places, or events. This ability is often linked to strong visualization skills and can be developed through meditation and practice.

Clairaudience (Clear Hearing)

Clairaudience is the ability to hear sounds, voices, or messages that are not audible to others. These messages might come from spirits, angels, or your higher self. Clairaudient individuals often receive guidance and information through words or sounds, which can help them make decisions or understand situations more clearly.

Clairsentience (Clear Feeling)

Clairsentience involves receiving intuitive messages through physical sensations or emotions. People with this ability might feel the emotions of others or sense energy shifts in their environment. This type of psychic ability is closely related to empathy and can help individuals understand the feelings and motivations of those around them.

Claircognizance (Clear Knowing)

Claircognizance is the ability to know things without any logical basis. This knowledge often comes as a sudden insight or a strong feeling of certainty. Claircognizant individuals can access information and answers directly from their intuition, providing clear guidance without needing physical evidence.

Channeling

Channeling is the ability to receive and relay information from a higher spiritual source. Channelers can connect with spirit guides, angels, or other higher beings to receive messages and guidance. This ability allows individuals to access profound wisdom and insights that can aid their spiritual growth and understanding.

Exploring these different types of psychic abilities can help you discover your own intuitive strengths and how you can develop them further. Whether you resonate with one or multiple abilities, embracing and nurturing your psychic gifts can lead to greater self-awareness and a deeper connection to the world around you.
