I believe that everyone is a born psychic. But where it all boils down to is the fact that who is able to recognize their abilities and make use of it. You don’t have to be a paranormal expert to use your psychic abilities. It can also help in your day-to-day lives. Having said that, in this excerpt, we will determine what is a psychic and also talk about the types of psychics who are paranormal expert too.
With our increased dependency on the outside world, we may have lost our capacity beyond the five senses. Let’s understand by a very simple and relevant example. If you were asked to walk to a shop that stands 1 km away from your house, what would you say? You would suggest taking a cab or a car. Why? We are so dependent on these resources that our mind does not say ‘alright’ to this hardship which happened to be a daily affair for people when cars did not exist. Similar is the case with our sixth sense.
All of us have that sixth sense within us but we have caged it in because of the resources available to us. But a psychic uses that very sixth sense to determine what we cannot.
What is a Psychic?
Psychics are just people like us who have the will and the capability to establish a connection with the unknown. Most of the real psychics are fearless by nature and their intrigue drives them to discover the unknown. A lot of people also have the misconception that psychics have the capability to read their minds and that they can tell what one is thinking at that point in time. This fact has no standing in the world of paranormal research.
Psychics are normal humans just like any other person out there. They possess remarkable powers that have been bestowed upon them by God or other powerful entities. What they possess the most is empathy. This gives them the inherent capability to do psychic readings and tell the true mood of a person. They can dig deep into a person and find out if the person is sad, happy, or depressed. A psychic can also understand a lot about a person by getting to know their spirit guides. Yes, spirit guides provide a lot of information about a person to the psychic. This enables a psychic to know a lot about you or anyone they meet and want to analyze.
Psychics are not fortune tellers and cannot tell the future of anyone simply because the future of a person is neither explicit nor absolute. There is no paper in which it is written and so no one can tell you about your future. So the question arises that how some psychics are able to tell what is going to happen?
Types of Psychic
Just like mediums, psychics can also be classified into different types.
Clairvoyant
A person who perceives things with his third eye is called a clairvoyant. These types of psychics can also see things from their physical eyes which we can’t see. These people are able to get a sense of things. When I talk of vision, I mean sensing any disturbances or spirits. It just like seeing a movie in your mind. In a normal human’s case, it’s just imagination. If you like a certain scene in a movie, then your mind can easily imagine that scene in the same way as directed in the movie. The same applies to a clairvoyant psychic. Except for the fact that what they see is happening or meant to happen.
Clairaudients
On the other hand, clairaudients are types of psychics who have the ability to hear voice externally and not the voice inside their very own mind.
Clairalience
There is another group of individuals known as clairalience. These are the types of psychics that make use of their sense of smell to detect and find out odours without any source. These odours don’t have a physical source from which the smell generates. For example- the smell of perfume which the deceased used while he was alive and also the smell from the cigarette smoke, if the deceased was a smoke. These things are considered a sign that they still are around their loved ones. They are not alive but also have not passed on to the other realm. If the sense of our smell is strong, then we might also sense different smells that connect us to something in our past.
Clairgustance
The ability to get the taste of something that is not physically there is known as clairgustance. These are the next types of psychics. This usually happens when the loved one of a deceased is trying to communicate with an echo or reminiscence they have with a special food item or a beverage. It reminds them of who the person was and what impact he/she had on their lives.
Claircognizance
Claircognizance, the next types of psychics, on the other hand, have the ability to know something truly. This happens when we have the total recollection of events that we would not have known in the normal course of things. The people who have claircognizance, the spirit gives the information in a way that they don’t know the source of the same. The information just pops out of nowhere and is imprinted in the mind of the person. For example – A warning that something will happen that normally one would have no idea about.
There is a requirement of immense faith required for claircognizance. This is because there is no empirical reason as to why we are filled with this new idea or thought in our minds. There are numerous professors, doctors, religious leaders, spiritual leaders, scientists, philosophers, and thinkers who have very good sixth-sense. Their intuition and gut-feeling are able to guide them to do great things as they know what is required to get the desired result in a situation. If you are someone who is able to do this then claircognizance is your presiding sense. You should value it as you are really special.
Understanding A Psychic
When you were little, you must have come across someone who did not gel well with the group? That person would always be the one talking to the plants or animals instead of children of their age. That was surely a psychic child. How can I say that? Because I am a psychic myself. And if you are a psychic, you must have passed this phase as not many people understand what a psychic is. It only when you grow up and realize that you understand the gift you have.
For a normal person, interacting with a psychic is an opportunity. Especially for those who do not understand their gifts. It not only opens in front of you the unseen world but also helps you recognize yourself. We just need to treat them right! Resist the temptation to jump on them with questions about your future, which dead relatives may be around you, etc.
How to Determine the Authenticity of Psychics?
When it comes to a psychic, there is a high probability that you may be caught up in a sham. Therefore, it is important to determine the authenticity of psychics. But how do we do that? Read on to learn more about it.
Cold Reading
Cold reading is a term that we often use for fake readers. They are good at convincing others and gather most of the information by observing closely a person’s body language, dress up, sexual orientation, religion, and race, education, and region, to start with. Their work is mostly dependent on guesswork and probability. Therefore, they do not have real psychic abilities.
How to recognize a cold reader?
There are a few things that can help you determine a cold reader. Whilst cold reading, the person will start predicting without your permission. They will shoot many predictions one after another. The prediction might be fairly correct, but it is very general on second thought. Therefore, all the guesswork depends on the predictions. Besides the cold readers, there are hot readers who do thorough research on their clients before they meet them.
Track Record
In the vast majority of cases, psychic readings are never 100% accurate, even with true psychics. Far too many people with serious emotional issues and profound self-esteem issues fancy themselves as special in some way. They are striving to find in their own minds something that makes them special and worthy.
Psychic in The Team
Standard protocol in working with psychics on investigations includes the following:
Psychics are never informed of case details before an investigation is conducted.
Psychics are never included in the initial tour of the client’s home or business. Do not divulge any facts you know about the case to a Psychic during a vigil. Psychics are informed of case details only after they have filed a case report and only if there is no likelihood of a follow-up investigation. Questions and opinions, however, on relevant matters can always be asked. Psychics often help the other members to determine the best camera setup locations. Quite often, psychics are seen to be doing independent walkthroughs when the client is giving the other members a tour or when the other members are initiating the equipment set up
To Wrap it Up on a Psychic
Other less common terms also exist to identify varying psychic abilities. If you’ve had any experience with psychics, then you know that each person has a preferred word to describe her or his gift. To be sure, there are fake psychics in the world who are dishonest and simply out to cheat people out of their money using the person’s own tender memories against her or him. But this, in no way, means that all psychics are dishonest.
We start and end at the same point. Another states that time is a manipulation; it is stagnant and we are moving. Holding either of the two theories true, the fact that stands are that we are living it again and again until we perfect it.
Therefore, you can clearly see that the term psychic has so many meanings and it is clearly not justified when people talk only about the negative aspects of it. I hope that people are able to understand more about it after reading this and don’t confuse it with witchcraft or dark magic. Psychics are normal people like us. They are not some creatures from some other dimension whose aim is to cause harm to anyone. All they have is a gift. A gift from God, angel, spirit, or whatever you want to name it.
