You Too Were Born With Psychic Senses

In media interviews, one of the first questions that celebrity psychics and mediums are often asked is, “At what age did you realize you had this gift?”

However, I don’t believe this ability is exclusive to a select few. We are all born with psychic senses. Most people simply need to learn how to tune into and trust themselves enough to use all their senses with confidence.

For example, imagine someone walking through the woods suddenly feeling the hair on the back of their neck stand up, or a prickling sensation down their spine, when a wild animal is nearby. This alert system kicks in without explanation. People rarely question how it works. They just accept it as natural instinct.

Psychic sensing is no different, but it requires taking the time to understand how your intuitive senses work allows you to use them more consciously and effectively.

It’s like learning to sing. Some people are born with a natural gift. Others need guidance and training to develop their voice. Psychic ability works the same way.

One of the most common questions I hear is, “Why can’t I see, hear, or just know things like you do?” The answer is simple: you can. You just need to relax, trust yourself, and perhaps take a few classes to discover your personal “shorthand.”

Everyone receives information differently. Some receive it visually, some through feelings, and some through a deep inner knowing. Some have a little bit of everything. The journey is about discovering what works best for you. Honestly, how boring would it be if we were all the same?

Most people don’t know anything about the inner senses while a few people rely on them just as they rely on their physical senses, and in fact probably even more ~ C. JoyBell C.

Fear often prevents people from exploring their psychic senses. Some worry due to religious conditioning, having been told that only faith leaders may access these abilities. Others are afraid of the spirit world or the unknown. They also fear standing out as “different.”

One of the biggest fears is being called “crazy.” But what one person sees as madness, another may see as clarity. For many of us, psychic awareness comes as naturally as breathing.

There’s also the fear of making a mistake. Many worry about misinterpreting messages or receiving incorrect information. However, an important truth is that spirits don’t wear watches. Time in the spirit realm doesn’t follow our earthly schedules. A message might make perfect sense in the future; it just might not make sense in the moment it’s received.

If you feel called to explore your psychic abilities, know that you’re not alone. Many simply need a little guidance to get started. A good teacher doesn’t impose a method. Rather, they help you discover who you are and how you best connect. I always encourage my students to learn from multiple teachers and experience different approaches. Then, choose the path that resonates with your truth.

One of the most valuable lessons I ever learned as a student came from a class that I initially thought was a waste of time. As I turned to my friend and said, “We just wasted our money,” I heard an inner voice say, “Oh, no, you didn’t. You just discovered how not to teach, how not to present yourself, and how not to practice mediumship.” To me, that was worth every penny!

There are other senses – secret senses, sixth senses, if you will – equally vital, but unrecognised, and unlauded. These senses, unconscious, automatic, had to be discovered ~ Oliver Sacks

In my experience, many students often struggle at first. Someone always says, “I’m not as good as the rest. I’m not getting anything. I can’t do this.” But if they stick with it and let go of the pressure, they start to make progress and their intuition begins to flow freely. Often, those students go on to become the most intuitive and active in the group.

The secret is to let go of your fear of being wrong. Stop overthinking. Trust yourself. Allow spirit to work with you. Use what you already have. Just like learning to walk, it starts one step at a time. Fear is often the only thing standing in the way of growth.

Finally, remember this: If you ever become complacent as a psychic or medium and it stops feeling magical, it may be time to move on, or at least reevaluate. When you think you’ve learned it all, pause and remember that the spirit, the divine and the universe is infinite. There’s always more to explore. When a student surpasses the teacher, the teacher has done their job well.

There is room for all of us to thrive. The world needs more voices, more visions, and more people willing to trust their psychic senses. You too were born with a “gift.” All you have to do is remember how to use it.
