Accepting Your Psychic Abilities

I was recently asked how I became aware and started using my psychic abilities. For many this can be a complicated, challenging journey, but I was fortunate to grow into my psychic gifts quite easily.

It all began with me growing up in a small town with a population of only 8000 souls. We were a large family of 12 children, which at that time was more common than today.

From the time I can remember, my mother used to foretell events and always spoke of a person’s “inner character,” as if she could clearly see their internal mechanisms as one would with an X-ray. It was also clear to everyone who knew her that she never seemed to be wrong in her estimations.

At the same time, my grandmother, as well as my father, frequently spoke of spirits coming back to visit us from the afterlife, and sightings of loved ones who had passed on was a common occurrence in our family life.

I can remember even as a very young child that I also just ‘knew things’ and certainly it never occurred to me to question the validity of any information I perceived. In my family it was not unusual to hear talk of someone having the “third eye” or the “second sight.” No one was ever denied their gifts.

As children we simply took these ideas in our stride and accepted them as natural and normal. We never had reason to question any of it and we didn’t realize this was not something all children experienced in their families. It was as common to us as any other domestic event that would occur in other people’s homes.

Psychic ability, metaphysics and the paranormal was something that we would naturally nourish growing up and utilize to whatever advantage we needed. Maybe ones of the reasons it became so strong among the siblings, was our inherent drive to survive under extremely arduous and stressful conditions. Only later in life did we come to understand that not all brother and sisters develop this strong psychic bond, with the ability to connect and detect danger in any situation, despite the great distances that might separate us to this day.

My older sister, for example, lived very far away from us with very little contact, yet we could tell at any given time where she was and what conditions were unfolding in her life.

Once again, for us this is not some supernatural phenomenon – it is simply a condition that is part of our connection to each other. No matter how unusual or strange it may seem to outsiders, it is the world that we grew up in and it is part of our normal existence and worldview.

If you are also gifted with psychic ability or mediumship, but you did not have the privilege of such any early start in your development, do not doubt your abilities. The more you accept and embrace your psychic abilities, even though you may not always grasp or understand what you are experiencing, the more you will continue to expand and grow.

Your psychic abilities can be a great asset to your daily existence and to the people around you, so go forth my friend and receive and utilize to the betterment of all what is being presented to you.
