How to Become a Psychic

Most people are naturally psychic and have a variety of intuitive senses they use to navigate their lives. If you’ve ever had that gut feeling about a person that turned out to be accurate, or experienced the urge to avoid a certain route home because you just knew something bad was going to happen on that road, those are examples of your psychic intuition in action.

Psychics are also able to read energy fields that surround people—called auras. This is a skill you can develop by standing about 10 feet away from a friend, looking into their eyes with a relaxed gaze and using your peripheral vision to detect an aura around their head, which will look like a fog at first.

Another way to sharpen your psychic abilities is to focus on the sounds around you each night before you go to sleep. This will help you develop your clairaudience, or psychic hearing. Listen for crickets and the wind rustling through the trees, for example.

You can also try to practice psychometry, a psychic ability where you can read someone’s energy by holding an item they often wear or own. A metal item—such as a ring or watch—works best.

Keep in mind that even the most gifted psychics aren’t guaranteed to be correct all of the time. There are many factors that can influence a psychic’s accuracy, including their own mental and emotional stability, their expectations, trust, sincerity and, of course, their free will.
