As you are already looking at this site, then you have already begun! The first step to waking up your psychic ability is to admit to yourself that you have one. It takes time for the subconscious to be able to communicate with the conscious mind and the best way to do this is by simply thinking about it.

For example, you could say to yourself, “I am psychic” on a daily basis. Alternatively, try to discuss this with whoever is willing to listen to you. All these thoughts have a positive effect on developing your gift. You should also try to read about it, as this helps to wake things up in the subconscious. Knowledge will help, as you need some understanding of how things work. Adopt the policy you would take with a new hobby. Become involved, become familiar with various approaches and opinions and start to develop your own ideas. Deal directly with what appeals to you, what your logic finds reasonable. Disregard what you find difficult to accept. You can always return to it later.

You should set some time aside to practice. Calm the mind, play gentle soothing music and relax. Meditation will be explained in more detail in a later chapter. Sometimes it helps to picture a summer scene, a field or meadow with the sun shining. Remember, it is impossible to completely clear the mind, so picture this field and if a picture pops into your head, even briefly try to work out what it was. Can you relate it to something or someone? Do you get a feeling of a forthcoming event? Please remember you are not trying to contact anyone.

Practice can be a dreaded word; however, practice is just as important in the psychic world as it is in the physical world. It is all about understanding the information coming to you and understanding it comes from a different source. The more you practice and the more exercises you do, (which can be found on this site) the easier it will become. The whole course is available in my e-book "Unleash Your psychic ability".

Try pausing before you do something. For example, when the phone rings, pause a few seconds before answering. Can you tell who it is? Try it when someone knocks on your front door. Try it at work; see if you can tell if someone is happy, sad or preoccupied. Your mind will have become used to receiving information with your usual senses and it will take time for it to accept this transition. You may find you are attracted to Tarot cards or psychometry. Tarot cards can help you develop your psychic awareness. You could also consider psychometry as this gives you something physical to work with.

A question I am often asked is, can you develop your own mediumship skills? My answer to you is while this site is designed to help you do just that; remember it is you that allows the process to work, I can only guide you (it is not difficult). One thing you do need is respect for others. You need to build a firm base on which to expand, and you need to be patient and explorative.

Start to pay attention to your dreams, understand what they mean and what they tell you, let them guide you. Although you can develop your skills, it can be helpful if you have someone you can practice the exercises with, or someone that can help you study this book.

How do you prove to yourself that your psychic ability is real? By experience, you store the episodes in your memory. All those things you knew that come true all the things you could tell other people about themselves, each fact you get right will be your proof. At some point, chance, coincidence and mathematically are no longer a factor. You search your feeling, you begin to trust yourself, you see the good you are doing, and the comfort you are giving. The mystery of the universe lies before you, no longer mysterious but like a giant unread book.

Everyone has psychic ability and we all have psychic experiences daily. Being psychic is something you are born with. Many of us simply do not have the words to identify what we are experiencing. Many people feel and acknowledge that they have intuitive abilities. What they do not understand is that the only difference between being psychic and using your intuition is the level of trust you have that your intuition is correct. Trust is a major component when working with your psychic ability. One must trust the information that is coming through the feelings, the inner communication, and the pictures. When you do not trust, you are in essence invalidating the information that is coming through to you from your higher self your guides and the universe.

Psychic intuition is a thought-based talent and it can feel like you are remembering an experience that was not yours. Often what comes into your mind is a picture, much like a photograph. These photos can be black and white, color, still or moving like a short movie. You may also pick up on others feelings. This may not happen as quickly as the photos as this is a deeper form of psychic awareness. The role of a psychic or medium often goes beyond just giving messages or making predictions. In this work, you will need compassion and good communication skills to act upon the information received.

If you would like to use your ability to give readings, please remember you are dealing with peoples emotions, as a medium you will need experience in presenting the information you may have to give. So for this reason please do not expect to be able to give readings immediately.

Here is another important thing to remember. It is very easy to become a little proud of yourself and to think you are special. However, this attitude is a road to disaster and failure. Remember, there are many people the world over who give predictions and have psychic abilities, you are just someone who has awakened your skills. This thought would serve you well, be humble and have respect for those you are able to read for and you will continue to develop.

Please remember to adopt a policy of respect. You hold within you a special gift and with this gift comes responsibility. People you read for will have come to you from many different backgrounds and belief systems. They may come in fear, sorrow and with little understanding. Your job is to inspire them and make them feel worthwhile. At the same time, you need to be honest when you are conveying a massage. Take your time to explain things they may not understand. However, do not rattle on beyond what they are ready to hear.
