Do you spontaneously receive knowledge without any apparent source? By merely touching an object, can you detect information about its owner? If so, you may have a psychic talent. Even if you don't, there are a variety of methods through which you can nurture your psychic abilities. While psychic abilities don't have any real basis in science, if you do wish to explore the psychic world, start by trying one of the following paths.

Method 1 of 3:

Listening to Your Intuition (Clairvoyance)

  1. Reach out with your five senses. Your intuition or extrasensory perception (ESP) will operate best when you are actively listening, looking, and feeling the world around you.
  2. There are a variety of tools psychics can employ to uncover the future for themselves or others.
    • Tarot cards can be useful for telling individual fortunes.
    • Gazing into a crystal ball (also known as scrying) can reveal similar truths.
    • Palmistry charts will also allow you to read the fortune of an individual using their hands. The lines of the hand contain important information about life trajectories.

  3. Clairvoyant experiences might take the form of a premonition, knowledge about a particular situation or event, or the ability to see a physical aura around certain individuals.
  4. Utilize these revelations to make positive decisions.
    • Don't be alarmed by the sudden arrival of visions or dreams. Clairvoyant psychic energies can reveal the past, present, or future. Some of this information will be immediately intelligible, while some will require thoughtful interpretation.

Leaving It All Behind (Astral Projection)

  1. Are you in search of guidance? Personal growth? Enlightenment?
  2. A room lit only by candlelight will provide a quiet, meditative space. A room bathed in moonlight will also bring you peace and give your projection experience an ethereal quality.
  3. Some people like to lie down; others prefer to simply recline in a wide-backed chair or sofa.
  4. Try to use an image that has a variety of elements and a high level of detail.
    • If you don't have a good image, or wish to explore an a temporal world, you can simply envision the place you wish to go. [1]
    • You can also achieve astral projection by envisioning your body lying prone, then “zooming out” from the perspective of a balloon rising higher and higher.
  5. Gaze at your chosen image at least thirty minutes. Let your eye wander over each object or element of the image in a slow, repetitive cycle.
  6. This is a short phrase you can use to focus your thoughts and energy. For instance, you might chant "I am present in the moment."
    • You can chant out loud at first, but wind down towards a silent chant.
  7. Picture yourself in the time or place you wish to explore, or visiting the individual you want to contact.
  8. One tried and true method is to envision yourself falling down into your physical body again. You could also simply envision your physical body in the place you left it and recognize your desire to return to it. [2]

Picking Up Good Vibrations (Psychometry)

  1. If you're just starting out, small metal objects work best. For more advanced practice, you might use unwashed clothing.
  2. Let your eye travel from one object to the next, staying conscious of the initial feelings or impressions you get from each.
  3. Take a few deep, cleansing breaths. Relax into a seated position and close your eyes.
  4. Turn it over and open your mind to the history it contains. If you see or hear anything, let your partner know. Repeat with all objects and check for verification later.
    • Try to identify the gender, age, and race of the owner.
    • Report your impressions with accuracy and ask your partner for verification.
    • Don't fret if you don't get any impressions. Not every object will inspire a vision.

    When in the astral plane you cannot move objects in the physical realm. You can merely observe and understand the physical realm, but cannot alter or change what is there.

      Tips

      • You might find yourself called to be a psychic, rather than actively choosing to channel your energies into becoming one. [3] Embrace the opportunity and explore your abilities at a comfortable pace when you are ready.
      • Foster an awareness of yourself and your surroundings. Psychic ability is a sixth sense which can best be harnessed when your five traditional senses are operating at optimal capacity. [4]
      • If you're experiencing a psychic block, check the astrological calendar. Celestial events can interfere with psychic energy. Cleanse your psychic energy by fasting, adopting a whole-foods diet, or cloistering yourself away for a period of mindful meditation. [5]

      • 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.

      Warnings

      • Remember: psychic abilities and experiences of any kind are not accepted as scientifically valid.

      About This Article

      Article Summary X

      To become a psychic, write down any visions or feelings you experience throughout the day, since these may be premonitions about the future that you can learn to interpret. After you've got a list of some feelings, try looking for signs of them in the world around you by actively listening and looking. If you want to explore a particular image or setting, sit comfortably in a candlelit or moonlit room, and picture a detailed image of the place you want to explore in your mind. Once you can see the image, spend around 30 minutes exploring each element of it carefully. When you're working with another person, look at the lines on their hand and compare them with a palmistry chart, which can help you identify their life trajectory. You could also purchase tarot cards, which you can use to tell a person's future. For tips on how to interpret objects as a psychic, read on!
