How to Strengthen Your Psychic Powers

Intuitive powers are innate to all humans. The problem is that we are not taught to listen to our intuition and, over time, it may become weak from disuse. Psychic powers are closely related to intuition. Recognizing and using our intuition and honing psychic ability starts with quieting the mind and taking an internal reading of our feelings and perceptions. Once in tune with yourself, you can use this information to practice making predictions. Some practicing psychics recommend continuously wearing certain crystals that promote psychic strengthening or using herbs and incense to focus awareness. Journaling, using divination tools, patience and practice may also strengthen your psychic powers.

Things You'll Need

• Journal
• Tarot cards, runes or other divination tools

Instructions

1. Develop your intuition and follow it. Everyone has had the experience of "knowing" something without any obvious proof, but many people dismiss these feelings. To develop your psychic powers, pay attention to these kinds of feelings and follow their lead. Over time, your intuition and psychic ability will grow stronger.

2. Meditate and concentrate on increasing your psychic powers. The practice of meditation will help you learn to quiet your mind. Having a quiet mind makes it much easier to recognize psychic impressions. Meditation actually changes your brain waves from active alpha waves to calm theta waves. In the theta-wave state, your awareness is sharpened and your access to your own intuition is heightened.

3. Use crystals, incense and herbs. Some psychics say that inhaling certain herbs, incense or holding particular crystals will enhance your psychic ability. Vanilla is said to increase psychic ability, as is Jasmine. Amber and purple amethyst crystals may also improve psychic powers.

4. Write in a journal. Writing in a journal without mentally editing what you are putting down on paper may help strengthen you psychic powers. When you don't edit or censor your writing, your subconscious is allowed to come through without being filtered by your rational brain. You may get insights and impressions about particular people or situations as you are writing.

5. Sense a person's feelings or thoughts through something that belongs to him or her. Upon holding the object, what feelings come up? Try to "read" the state of the person by the vibrations you get from the object. You can ask the person to confirm his or her state of mind after you do your reading. Keep track of when you are on target and when you get it wrong.

6. Practice making predictions. Psychics say that developing your psychic ability is like playing an instrument. You must practice in order to improve. You can practice by predicting who is calling you when the phone rings or by predicting the winner of a sports event without using outside information, such as stats. Write down when you are correct and when you are wrong. Over time, you are likely to see an improvement in the number of times you are correct.

7. Read books about psychics, psychic phenomenon and other paranormal experiences. As you continue to learn about the psychic powers of other people, you will add their tips and techniques for psychic development to your own psychic development toolbox. Keeping the topic at the forefront of your mind will focus your attention on what you want -- an increase in psychic power.

8. Use divination tools such as tarot cards, runes or astrology to help refine your psychic powers. These tools are recommended for self-discovery and spiritual development because they cause you to focus your attention internally and listen to what you are perceiving.
