Do You Think You Have Psychic Ability? Here’s How to Find Out



Psychic ability is a misunderstood phenomenon that many people dismiss as imagination but if you ever get impressions that just appear without warning then you might want to investigate them as being psychic in nature. Intuition or psychic ability can be defined as the soul’s capacity to capture information from beyond the limits of your physical senses. If this definition has meaning for you then you can benefit by creating your personal psychic profile.


Creating Your Psychic Profile


Your psychic profile involves taking some time to recount instances that you noticed were unusual in nature. You start your investigation by understanding that the field of psychic study has a language and terms that need to be understood. Impressions that are beyond the limits of your physical senses include the following: 1) A feeling from beyond the physical, for example, is a clairsentient impression, 2) a vision is clairvoyant, sounds or voices are clairaudient, knowing answers or new ideas are claircognizance, smelling is clair fragrance, and taste is clairgustance. When you understand these sensations in terms of feelings, seeing, hearing, etc. then you begin to understand more about the psychic gifts you possess.


Recount Your Experiences


The next step is to get a piece of paper and divide it up into several columns. This paper should list several of these experiences with the note that you felt, saw, heard, knew, smelled, or tasted the impression. Once you have done this you can determine the type of sensations that were the strongest and those that were weak or non-existent.

You will learn that the strongest impressions mean you are dominant in one or more of the psychic senses.


A clairsentient is a person who feels the energy of a situation or a person and can interpret the meaning of the feeling. This ability is the most common among people and these individuals are often drained by other people or situations. If you notice this about you there may be a need to further investigate whether you are an empath or not.


People with strong visions are clairvoyants. If you have vivid visual impressions, then you might want to memorize them so they can be reviewed more closely when you have a chance. The images can be very revealing whether they are based on reality or if they are symbolic in nature.


A clairaudient is when you hear information from beyond the limits of your physical hearing. There is an element of mediumship to being clairaudient because you can hear a voice that is not your inner voice but is one that is giving you a psychic message. The message you receive can be very helpful if you pay attention to it.


Claircognizance is a very special gift and is highlighted by having thoughts or ideas that just drop into your mind. This is a sense that is the most human because it is a source of creativity, invention, and problem-solving. It can be a “door opener” for the other psychic senses to help you discover making an idea a reality.


Clairfragrance and clairgustance are two senses that are not recognized by most people but are very strong with many individuals. Paying attention to the sensations of smell and taste that are not physically generated by your surroundings is an indication that you have these psychic gifts. Once you discover you have these talents, they can be used to enhance your general awareness of the world around you.


Sorting Out Your Psychic Tendencies


Discovering your natural psychic skills is only a part of your psychic profile. The next step you will need to recount is whether the sensations were from the past, the unspoken or unknown present about a person or situation, or whether the impression was precognitive. Combining these experiences with the strongest psychic ability that you have will give you insight into the type of psychic ability you possess.


Some people are good at recognizing health issues, others may be good at finding missing objects, and some may be good at matchmaking. These talents are specific and should be valued by those who have them. It must be noted that any psychic ability must be used with a sense of caution/humility and not out of ego.


You may learn you are an empath who has healing skills or that you have clairvoyant dreams with precognition. Recognizing your individual gifts allows you a sense of freedom and confidence to make good decisions. It might be that you learn that you are an excellent judge of character because you know about a person’s character when you meet them.


A knack for something does not give you or anyone else a “license” to exert power or control over others. There is a responsibility that you have once you recognize your gifts. A gift should be used with the intention of being used for good and not for any other purpose.


The Psychic Test


Psychic impressions often can come as a “blast” of information and this overwhelming energy can be interpreted using the “Psychic Test”. This is an exercise where you need to determine how the impression made you feel, the vision you saw around it, anything you heard, knew, smelled, or tasted around it. This test will give you some perspective about the energy sensation you experienced.


Discovering your psychic abilities is an exercise of self-empowerment. It is a self-help exercise for your personal development. Noticing impressions can be a new experience that is new behavior for you, but it is rewarding and pays big dividends.

Your psychic profile is a valuable tool for you because you can use it as a base for personal growth. Knowing your natural talents and building upon them is enriching. It broadens your perspective and allows you to understand the world around you by giving you “ah ha” moments.


Personal Growth


If you think you have psychic abilities, it is a worthwhile exercise to create your psychic profile. You will not regret this learning experience you will be able to build upon and assist you with your personal growth. It is an easy review of your personal experiences that will enhance your confidence and possibly help others as well.
