You don’t “know” you are psychic – you feel it. For instance, you won’t know someone else’s thoughts, you will feel them. That’s why it is so hard to test psychic ability. It’s not something that you can “grade.”

If you do have feelings, in order to properly share them, you must be able to translate them into words. Some psychics are better at this than others.

First, we need to look at the different types of ways the feelings come to us. Empathy, for instance, is the ability to feel other people’s emotions. Can you test this psychic ability? Not easily. But if you can tune in on what other people are feeling, you probably are empathic.

Telepathy is the ability to read other people’s thoughts. This provides for an easier test of psychic ability. But, again, turning thoughts into words takes psychic skill.

Clairaudience is the ability to hear the thoughts of others, both live people and spirits. Clairvoyance is the ability to see things that aren’t perceptual with the ordinary five senses.

Precognition is the ability to see events in the future. The ability to test this psychic ability only comes with the passage of time.

If you believe you have some level of innate psychic ability, you should practice meditation to develop it. Meditation is a wonderful way to relax. You’ll become less anxious.

While there are many different ways to relax, the most common is to sit still in a quiet setting. Many people prefer to close their eyes when meditating. Quieting your mind for a few minutes every day will allow you to develop your psychic skills.

You will want to focus on your breathing. Whenever your mind begins to wander, bring your thoughts back to your breathing. Try breathing in for four counts, holding your breath for four counts, and breathing out for four counts.

As you practice meditation, you will begin to notice a vibration. This experience is a quickening of your psychic skills.

Many people choose to keep a meditation diary. Writing down your meditative experiences helps you develop your psychic skills.

Another thing to consider is keeping a notebook by your bed and writing down everything you can remember about your dreams as soon as you wake up. This will encourage lucid dreaming which is another avenue into the psychic.

While researchers at universities such as Stanford and Duke have tried for decades to create a test of psychic abilities, they have not been successful. Instead, you must develop the experiences so that you will “feel” yourself psychic.

As I said at the beginning of the article, you don’t know you are psychic, you feel it. That’s why there is no test of psychic abilities.
