I am truly grateful for all the positive feedback that I regularly receive from my clients regarding their readings. Finding out that one of my readings has helped them see their lives more clearly or has revealed the options that they had overlooked is for me what being a psychic is all about. After all, who doesn’t like being praised or recognised for what they are passionate about?

Often I get messages that refer to my “gift”. I’m flattered, sure, but that’s not quite the way I see things. As I have written before in this column, I consider being psychic or being intuitive is more a skill than a gift. Of course, some people may be born with more of an aptitude toward being psychic just as someone else may be born with more talent for playing piano or even basketball. But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t do all that we can to use what we’ve got.

Being psychic is an inherent part of being human. However, along the way most of us began relying exclusively on our five senses and for whatever reason forgot all about the sixth one. What a shame, especially when you consider these trying and confusing times that we live in. Let’s face it, we need all the help that we can get – be you someone who needs answers to questions of love, career, health or anything else.

This week I want to offer some advice and concrete steps that you can take to become your very own psychic. You don’t have to be the seventh son of a seventh son. You don’t have to be able to trace your genealogical roots to Gypsy Rose Lee. You don’t have to burn incense, light candles or buy a crystal ball. You don’t even have to want to give readings to other people. As far as I’m concerned, there’s not a single person who shouldn’t be in touch with their psychic side.

I like reading and am passionate about knowledge and learning. As such, I consume books on being psychic and improving one’s intuition. I’ve attended more workshops and seminars than I can remember. I have trained in more than a handful of the multitude of methods for connecting to one’s clairvoyance. But I have come to realise that they are all very similar and that it’s actually very simple to have a go at being your own psychic.

Starting is as simple as 1, 2, 3. First, you need to learn to concentrate. Second, you have got to detach. And third, you have to accept what comes through. Sounds easy, doesn’t it? Well actually, it is. Let’s take each step in turn.

Step One: Learn to concentrate.

The first step to being psychic is to learn to concentrate. When you’re trying to use your sixth sense, multitasking is not helpful at all. In fact, trying to do anything else while you’re aiming to get a psychic hit or fix on something is madness. You’ve got to focus. More than that, you’ve got to learn how to concentrate for a period of time on one thing, which admittedly can be challenging with all that we’ve got to contend with in our daily lives.

But as with so many things, practice makes perfect. Spend time focusing on one thing, such as a mantra repeated over and over again in your head or a visual symbol. You mind will drift. When it does, just pull yourself back to your word or symbol. You will get better at it. And when you do, gradually increase the time you dedicate to this exercise by a minute or two until you can manage this for fifteen minutes or more. When you can, you’re ready for step two.

Step Two: Detach and be objective.

The second step to increasing your psychic abilities is to detach. Being psychic means being able to step back sufficiently such that information can come through without the psychic interfering with or influencing it. It’s always harder to solve a problem that we’re wrapped up in or worked up about. Additionally, being overly emotionally invested in a particular outcome makes it difficult, as they say, to see the forest for the trees.

One of the easiest ways to remain independent and objective is to have a symbol, like a star or a flower that you can visualise on command. As soon as you find yourself being distracted or becoming anxious, which is an indication that you are still involved with the problem, then you need to concentrate on your symbol to pull yourself back on to neutral ground. Your goal is to be able to consider your question, situation or problem, without stimulating an emotional or even logical reaction. When you can do this, you’re ready for step three.

Step Three: Accept whatever comes through.

The third and final step to being your own psychic is to accept what comes through – no matter what. It’s not unusual for what you perceive to not make any sense at first. I don’t exactly know why but it seems to be the case that clairvoyant or intuitive impressions more frequently show themselves in highly symbolic forms than in straightforward or literal ones.

So when you can concentrate in a detached frame of mind for a period of time, then you’re ready to pose your question. Once you have, remain open to what pops into your mind. For example, you might see an image such as a closed door or smell an unexplained fragrance. Whatever you get jot it down. That’s your answer. True, you’ve got to decipher and interpret it – but the hard part is done. If you persist and let the detective within you come forth, you’ll not only be incredibly proud of yourself, you’ll have the answer that you sought.

So, there you have it. If you try these steps out and stick to them, then you’ll be well on your way to becoming your very own psychic. The steps are simple. To be sure, you’ll try to complicate them. That’s just what we humans do, but really they are simple. Don’t just give them a go once. Stick with them. The time you spend on reacquainting yourself with your sixth sense is time well spent.

However, most of you will have hectic lives already – day jobs, family commitments, friends, hobbies. Don’t beat yourself up if you simply haven’t got the time right now to devote to developing your psychic abilities. Wait until you’re not so rushed with the day-to-day – it’ll still be there when you want to give it a go.

Naturally some of you would rather have the answers now. For you, perhaps I can provide what you’re looking for in the form of one of my Relationship Readings, Career Readings or Life Readings or one of the many other readings I offer, including my Medical Intuitive Readings.

And if learning to be your own psychic is something that you’re interested in pursuing more formally, then you might be interested to discover that in my one-on-one Intuitive Life Coaching, I teach my clients this kind of methodology to learn to develop what they’ve always had – the ability to rely on their own psychic and intuitive abilities.
