How can I become a psychic?
I want to develop my psychic abilities. Is it possible for anyone to become a psychic with enough practice and training or do you have to be born with it? I'd love to hear stories of how people realized they had psychic abilities and honed their abilities.

One thing I wish I would have known when I started exploring my psychic abilities is just how powerful my mind was. I wish I had realized that I was actually in control of everything… recently I've discovered that all the goals you've ever set in your life are still running in the back of your mind. So, if you change your mind or decide you don't want something, then you have to do something about it to get it out of your head or your mind is going to keep trying to create it for you 20, 30, 50 years later. All that space is then taken up because it's still trying to go out and get… what you don't care about anymore.

My psychic abilities are strongest when I'm in nature and my body is nourished. I take long walks outside when I want to tap into my psychic abilities. Sometimes I will leave my phone at home so that I only have the natural world around me. It works best when I am well-rested and refreshed. When I take care of my body, my intuition feels strongest. When I'm stressed or tired or hungry or anything like that it is very hard for me to pick up on things.

I can walk into a room full of people and feel what each one is feeling it caused problems with my work being a bartender in a casino, I would walk in and feel so much negativity it sucked

I think that I find out things about how souls function much more easily, and I can understand people's actions better than most people. Is this being psychic?

No, not really.

I've found meditation really helpful for getting in touch with my intuition and developing my psychic abilities. Every day, I like to find a quiet place and meditate, even if it's just for a few minutes. I close my eyes and focus on the rhythm of my breathing until the rest of the world falls away, and then listen to what my thoughts and feelings are telling me. Sometimes I get really clear images and messages coming to me and other times I get strong emotions or sensations. It's up to you to make sense of the things that appear to you while you're meditating. Some things may be confusing at first, but eventually you'll come to realize the meaning.

I personally believe that anyone can become a psychic and that everyone has psychic abilities! It just takes practice to really hone those abilities and become in tune enough with your body for these things to come easily. Set aside time every day to listen to your body, and be really intentional about it. Approach these exercises with an open and receptive mind, and trust and believe in the things your body tells you.
When you become more open to the messages all around you, you'll find it easier to pick up on those messages. Invite the information in and receive it as it presents itself. When the time is right, clarity will accompany that information and you'll be able to understand the messages the universe has for you.

Of course you can develop the abilities!!
Everyone has the abilities but because of one person's lifestyle/sceptism and possibly not being aware, it wouldn't be front of mind.
I wasn't aware and then completed a development course and realised I am a psychic medium, as there have been many instances that I have seen and connected to different spirit with different messages for their loved ones and been able to tell someone about something happening before it happened.
I was very open to it and obviously that needs to be the case.

Care to share where you had the development course? I’d like
To open my psychic abilities too.

To open my psychic abilities too.
I thought this was going to be in reference to actual intuition, not "psychic" nonsense.

Same thing. Quantum non-locality and such. Reading subtle energies or the unperceivable. Akashic Records, Halls of Amenti. Intuitive incubation. Reminiscence paradigm, genetic memory and such. Oh, collective consciousness. It is like everything is connected. Whatever

I have had psychic abilities all my life, and they come in dreams, visions, and gut feelings! I think you would be able to harness your spiritual awareness if you were in a meditative state and your body was calm. Once you gain the ability, you will be able to harness it anytime anywhere!

Reader Tips from How to Become a Psychic
Practice learning how to read a room's energy. Sit in the middle of the room and slowly look around. Note which areas of the room feel the most inviting and which ones don't. As you become more aware of your surroundings, you'll sense the shifts in energy in the room.
Try to make developing your psychic skills a daily practice. Even just sitting for a few minutes a day opening your mind to the world can help your senses feel stronger.
Reader Tips from How to Know If You Are Psychic
Keep a dream journal by your bed, and write down everything you can remember right when you wake up while it's still fresh in your mind.
Try meeting with another psychic or medium and ask them to help mentor you. They can help develop your abilities even more.
Try to appreciate the natural world around you as you develop your psychic abilities. Man-made objects are not as special as the earth, and a tree has more positive energy than a TV.
Let your eyes and ears relax. When your physical senses are reduced, your psychic channels open up to suggestion!
