How to Develop Psychic Intuition
Psychic abilities are often referred to as "gifts," yet among those who believe in the supernatural, some hold the belief that you can develop latent abilities. Developing psychic intuition is thought to be a matter of developing mental awareness and learning to listen to instincts that are already there. Try a daily regimen and some exploratory exercises to help discover your own ability.

Meditate daily by sitting still, breathing slowly, and working to relax as much as you can while clearing your mind. This skill takes time to develop; set aside 30 minutes every day to practice meditating in a quiet place where you can be alone. This is essential for developing the ability to be aware of your inner mental processes and to gain control over them. Work towards developing a trance state that feels relaxing, like sleep, but in which you are consciously aware of and remember your thoughts.

Try self-guided meditation once you have mastered the basics of a still mind. Bring yourself into a trance state and use this to explore your day-to-day thoughts and experiences. Examine events that have happened in your recent past, distant past, and your expectations about future events.

Practice sensing the feel of spiritual energy in your physical surroundings. If you have a sense of a certain feeling or color to the energy in a place, try to describe it. Wherever possible, compare notes with a friend who is also psychically sensitive or learning to be; see if you come up with the same sense about places.

Pay close attention to your feelings. Your emotions will often tell you something useful about your surroundings and situation. For example, you may find that you have a "bad feeling" about someone or a "good feeling" about a place or an upcoming event.

Figure out where your strengths are. There are many forms of psychic ability. You may be more empathic (able to sense emotions), telepathic (sensing thoughts), or you may have sight and be able to know facts and details about situations, events and people.

Use divination tools designed to help shape your psychic intuition. Divination tools such as tarot cards or Norse runes don't tell the future by themselves, but they give vague direction to shape your existing instincts. Draw runes or cards and lay them in a divination pattern (there are many of these; use the instructions that come with the items, or see Resources) and make your own interpretation of what they say.
