How to tune into your unique skills on National Psychic Day

We are all born with innate psychic abilities. Because these unique spiritual skills are subtle, most people are not aware that they're receiving psychic feelings and intuitive information on a daily basis.

National Psychic Day (2nd August) is the perfect time to open your mind to the possibility that you're psychically gifted! That gut feeling that you often get, about something or someone, is a clear sign that exploring your unique skills can be highly beneficial to your life experiences.

Common signs of psychic abilities

There are many common signs of psychic abilities, besides having a strong gut pull that's impossible to ignore. You may instantly pick up on a vibe when you walk into a room, get a strong impression when you meet someone new, or have dreams that predict events that later happen.

You may also be empathic to the feelings of others, connect easily with children and animals, and feel drained when surrounded by a lot of people. Having inspired ideas and solutions to problems suddenly pop into your head, being magnetic to strangers who have an urge to tell you their life story or a secret, are additional signs that you're a psychic in the making.

Tuning in

The journey of developing your psychic abilities is a unique experience for everyone. When your psychic senses are tuned into the wavelength of the Universe, you may see, hear, feel, sense or know information without having any rational explanation. The subtle nudge that offers up 'information' out of nowhere can initially have you believing that you're just making it all up.

When you start developing your psychic abilities, it's important to clear your energy and to connect with yourself on a deeper level. Setting an intention for your mind to settle, as you close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, helps to get you into the psychic zone.

While you're in a relaxed, meditative state allow your subconscious to connect with Universal energy and the frequency of the Cosmos. Imagine a beam of bright light anchoring and grounding you into the Earth. Stay focused on your breathing, as you allow your awareness to naturally expand.

The expansion of your spiritual awareness may physically feel like a warm glow in your chest that's pleasantly soothing, or as if you're enveloped by a comforting cocoon.

The process of tuning in takes up very little time, once you get into the habit of daily practice. Your regular efforts will be rewarded by heightened intuition and a sixth sense that alerts you to people, places and things that have a negative impact on your energy.

Your primary 'clair' sense

Identifying how you normally process information will help you establish what type of 'clair' psychic ability is your primary unique skill.

Developing your unique skills further

Meditation is an easy and effective way to tune into your unique skill every day. It's important to practice regularly, if you want to develop the strong sense of intuition that is the foundation for the expansion of all psychic skills. And to exercise patience, as psychic skills naturally require time to open up and mature.

It's also worth doing some personal research to discover interesting ways in which you can practice your 'clair'. For instance, you can exercise clairtangency skills by 'reading' the energy of objects that belong to people you know, or engage in the pastime of focusing on clairalience smells, with your eyes closed, to explore whatever information you receive.

Divination tools, like tarot cards, rune stones and pendulums, can also help you to cultivate your extrasensory psychic talents. So too, can working alongside a mentor or spiritual teacher, or joining a psychic development class or attending a workshop.

Attending a local psychic event with family or friends, or consulting with an experienced Psychic Network reader who can help you gain insightful knowledge about your innate talent, are excellent ways to celebrate National Psychic Day this year!
