so, you admit you're psychic
There's this wide, wide step between knowing you have some psychic experiences and saying "I'm psychic."
But we are all psychic and have this natural sense. And psychic just means 'of the soul'...not fortune telling the next day's events. I talk to people repeatedly who've had dozens, hundreds, countless experiences with intuitions yet struggle to admit they are psychic. It's not a special power, folks. It's just our sixth sense readily available to us.
I say, you name it-you claim it.
I'd love to see some of you blog readers comment back on this post and somewhere in there say it...'I'm psychic.' Go ahead. You can do it. You will inspire others to do the same and it will significantly magnify the strength of your own psychic sense. Let's hear it....take a moment to comment.
And then check out how my son encouraged me to do it:
Mom, tell him what you really do

I so enjoy your posts.
And yes, I'm psychic.
Thanks to your guidance and other teachers I really do believe that now.

True story.
It was April many years ago; I was a high school student. In the middle of the night, on a Tuesday, I awoke with a start, quite scared: the house next door would be broken into the wee hours of Saturday morning. I tried to shake off the dream. Wednesday night, 2AM, same frightening dream. Ditto Thursday. At that point, I simply had to tell the people next door to protect themselves. They didn't believe me. Friday, 5AM, same dream; on my way to school I had the same conversation with the people next door; but this time, they are starting to believe the psychic warning, and promised to tell their cousin who was a NYC policeman to have someone nearby Saturday early AM --- just in case. And that's why at 5:15AM on Saturday morning --- to this day I remember the exact time --- when my family and I were awakened by the sound of glass crashing at the side door of the house next door, as three masked men began to rush into the house, I was not surprised when the police pulled up to arrest the three men in the act within minutes of the break in. Nor were the house's occupants surprised; they trusted my intuition enough to spend the night with my family in our house.
Intuition. Trust. That's what it's all about. And that's what Meredith is all about, too. She's the best!!! Thoughtful, open, great teacher, great heart.....

Ooooooo boy.
I'm INTERESTED in psychics.
I'm PRACTICING being psychic.
I say that I can "know" things without being told. That I can ask my team for some info and get it, in increasingly reliable order.
But I am stumbling over the "P" word as it relates to me.
Until this moment, I didn't realize how much baggage I have wired inside about what this term means, and who "gets" to own it. The baggage ranges from the old "it's too spooky" to "I'm not REAL" to "That's something you can aspire to but honey you AIN'T there yet."
It also is telling that I can't spell the word without stopping dead in my tracks and doing it, letter for letter.
So. I am psychic.
Too bad I can't put the pounding of my heart in electronic form so you can see what typing that phrase, without qualifiers, is doing to my physical body. But I'm resisting all temptation to dissemble or take it back. Done. Press send. I'm psychic. Yikes.
(laugh) After a lifetime of having incessant and practically constant psychic experiences - some startling and some just lovely - 14 years as a massage therapist that spoke to Angels and did healing energy work, and after three years of actively working on acknowledging and strengthening my psychic skills, I realized I would still never even dream of calling myself a psychic! (laugh)
How hilarious is that?!
I think the thing that finally made me feel like I was an intuitive - for real all the way deep down to the base of my spine - was the hilarious look on Meredith's face when I said to her last week "I think I am psychic." She was incredulous at how accepting I was of the flow and that I would use the information, and never even think of myself as an intuitive. Later that night, I "came out of the closet" on a Q&A call with several other people who play in this lovely energy realm.
How good it felt! How much it made me laugh and laugh to say it aloud! The next day I held my breath - wincing in fear - as I told a friend of mine that I was an intuitive. Bracing for judgment and scoffing, she looked at me and said "I want to be one, too. Can you talk to me about some things happening in my life?" And I felt so so fantastic. Because, actually, I could. I could help my friend and be exactly who I really was.
This is going to be soooooooo FUN! :D
I love that psychic means "of the soul". I have come to understand that psychic means seeing into someone and not only or not necessarily related to something prophetic. I always love hearing about other's psychic stories, Paul's for example who commented below. Until this day I have not experienced that form of psychic knowing. Usually my psychic ability appears in the moment or through a reading. Do you think prophetic dreaming/visions are something one can develop or is it usually someone's way of seeing that is unique to them?
Meredith thank you for your tales, your newsletters,your insight and your incredibly resourceful site. You are such a fantastic teacher that we are all so lucky to have. I look forward to your future tales! Thank you!

I absolutely believe that everyone has the innate ability to use their psychic sense, the sixth sense...all to various degrees, but all perfect for their own life. And like any ability, it can be honed, tuned, developed; which for this ability relates to better noticing it, allowing it, accessing it.
In all my years of teaching creative and critical thinking, I found many people who just think 'I'm not creative' because they aren't a good artist, for example. But we are all creative. We can be a creative accountant, a creative administrator, a creative politician, a creative mother. And we can all improve this type of thinking. But we leave the 'label' of creative to the artist, the musician, when this is not the case. We are all creative. By saying so, we better access this part of ourselves.
I was talking with a client who plays guitar and writes music, and has played for years, yet he struggles to call himself a musician. That title is reserved for 'someone else' who meets more stringent criteria. Yet, he is clearly a musician, and as he now begins to accept that, his enjoyment of music and ability will grow.
I believe the statement that "I am psychic" helps everyone better allow this sense. In fact, pretending to be the world's best psychic will allow even more!
The development of the psychic sense, and putting to practical use in one's life involves two components;
1)skills/techniques/method/understanding of psychic sensing and
2) allowing, receiving the impressions
I'd go a step further to say acting on the psychic sense also activates and further develops it, because the psychic sense tends to come in fragments like breadcrumbs that lead the way. Get one hint, follow, get the next hint.
Anyway...yes...everyone can develop intuition. Like any skill, some will be more 'talented' at aspects of it than others. But everyone can get what they need for their own life. I think the refusal to be psychic or intuitive because you aren't the best in the world at it, is no different than I refuse to reason because I'm not Einstein, or I refuse to draw because I'm not DaVinci.
So embrace it. It is yours. It is you. :)
Last night I went to the airport to pick up some friends who were staying with me while they are in-between houses. They had been gone for about 5 days only having been at my house for a week or so before leaving. In the five days they were gone, I had come out of the closet with my intuitive nature, and had some really strong and amazing experiences in trust of the universe and intuition.
one of these things was buying a car. maybe I will write about THAT little trip later (laugh), but suffice it to say i can now literally FEEL where my guides and angels are in a very physical sense, and I have a sweet ride to go with the sweet ride of life! LOL! But it was a tough time for me and my mind to go pick these two up at the airport in a brand new car. Since I had never even mentioned THINKING about a new car the week before, they were more than a little surprised and wanted to know "what happened."
I sort of froze. I explained - with my mind - all the "reasons" I needed the new car and I went on and on, and it just felt so hollow and like a weird blanket in between us on the floor. And it made me sound like an idiot. After a couple hours I said (to these poor jet-lagged, exhausted friends) "You know what, the thing is, i am intuitive. i have always been, but have been studying it recently and am now ready to really use this to help people. Anyway, I got the new car because the angels were adamant that I do it and I do it right now. They gave me all these signs and all these messages and were SO clear on it, i simply had to do it. I am not a weirdo nutcase or anything"
I winced. I waited for fallout and judgment.
"Oh yeah? Well that's pretty wild. Cool. i am going to bed."
LAUGH!!!!! THAT was what I was dreading?!
I wrote an email to friends and family last night saying I was stepping into my intuition and would love for them to come play with me. That I could no longer ignore it. Three have already responded and said "I want to play, too." Some may indeed give me a reaction I dread, but the fact is, they know me by now and they know I have talked about angels and energy for years and years. And it really isn;t strange at all when you start talking to people. i can hardly beleive how GOOOOOOODDDDDD I feel really being me. Effortless. Finally. Whew.
:D
Nice.
The anticipation is always soooo built up compared to what actually happens, isn't it?! The more you fear it, the harder it is.
The more comfortable you are in your own skin, the more others accept you. And the less you care either way.
Check out this similar post about me telling people I'm psychic. You'll see how I can relate!
Mom, tell him what you really do
I'm psychic, but only after learning to ignore naysayers of the "it was just a coincidence" variety. I used to be afraid to speak out. Mumbling "things happen for a reason" speakin' my truth, even if it was only to me.
Now I embrace my 6th sense and proclaim "I'm psychic! How do you like me now?"
Kim
Naysayers. There are always those.
But, not just for being psychic so I think it's good to keep it in perspective.
I have a 'flying pig' on my desk in my office to remind me of the times others have said to me what I am doing won't work...yet I did it.
My first year as a public school teacher I created a big project and culminating event with parents. Got all kinds of teachers involved, too (art, music, librarian, PE). But several teachers pulled me aside, "Honey, parents just don't ever get involved here. I don't want to see you disappointed but it won't work and no one will come."
"Hmm, thanks." I said. But I just did it anyway. And....not only did a parent come, by usually both parents, grandparents, some aunts and uncles, cousins, it was mind-blowing. The principal kept walking by shaking his head. He later asked me, "How'd you do it."
"I invited them," I said.
I have a collection of stories like that. It's no different than saying you can't really be psychic. I just do it anyway. And that, is the ultimate invitation to others. And pigs fly.
Nice job, Kim, overcoming that hurdle!
I love this story about the school project and the parental AND extended family engagement, Meredith. It is inspiring for those of us who are newly asserting our will to be what we want, when we want, how we want. But even better, it is yet another reminder to follow our intuition. And I've seen those flying pigs. Right here in Albuquerque where I happen to be for a conference. Coincidence???? :-)
A friend called last night to say "hi." We hadn't talked in a few weeks, and she was checking in to see what was new. We chatted a while, and I found myself avoiding the subject of "coming out of the closet."
"ack" said my sweet, darling brain. "Laura if you are going to do this, you know you have to PLAY FULL OUT."
I took a deep breath and said "So, i uh...also..uh...well...i have begun doing intuitive work."
Now this is a woman that I have picked up a lot of "pictures" off of before just when talking to her and someone I have known a long time, but someone who very much does not believe in intuition. I had once told her about this really strong picture I had gotten being around her - even though I often don't do that unless people ask - and she was like "yeah, really not interested and that is just wrong information." So I was nervous to tell her.
She asked "So what does that mean?" And actually I didn't know. The word "reading" and "psychic" really just seem to fall short here, because they don't convey the deep and gorgeous flow that happens and the fun and the love. And plus, i don't really know what it means for me and people I work with.
So, I thought a second and said "Well, you know I just always see pictures when I talk to people. See pictures and just have things come to me. So I am just talking to people, if they have you know, things going on that they need a little help with seeing some other sides to it. I can just sort of talk to them and tell them what i see."
"Oh.Ok. I see." She didn't sound happy or impressed, but she didn;t hang up on me either.
I thought "wow, i really need to work on my presentation." But - laugh - hey i did it. I said it out loud to a known sceptic, and all is good. And she still wants to get together this weekend and talk to me. (lol!)
:D
Congrats, Laura! You simply shared your experience. There's no substitute for that! It's a thousand times better than a definition. And your point about seeing other perspectives is so true.
Many people will heal working with you, and create more beauty in the world.
I'm reminded of something I've seen many psychics and people do. They look for issues and problems to help with. Well intended, but this goal can be expanded and refined.
All intuition comes based on our question. So we can ask,'what issues are there and how can they be fixed' or we can ask 'what is in my (or others, if permission) highest good to know at this time?' This second question creates an opening to give guidance on any concerns/issues, but also creates an opening for seeing one's talents and witnesses what is going well. Sometimes that is the best form of 'help.'
I know you do this already, Laura. Just a reminder for everyone.
If we look for issues, we see issues. Everyone has them. If we look for beauty, we see beauty, everyone has it. As a culture, many of us seek to 'fix' when sometimes the best fix is to do more of what works. Like the analogy, to get rid of darkness you don't shovel out darkness you add/exand light.
It's just a HABIT we should all look out for as intuitives:
(know whatever is in the highest good now to make a choice in this moment) .
In fact, I think it is one reason some people are afraid of intuition. They believe they will see problems or negative things. What we can see is whatever will help us, if that's what we are looking for.
Thanks for sharing. Your gifts create beauty.
I'm psychic :)
Love your blog by the way.
Is it too late to participate on the February 2008 blog? I'm definitely psychic. I prefer the word intuition, I get real tired of the eyes rolling, sort of unattractive to look at, when I SAY I'm psychic, so I find intuitive seems to save them a few contortions! ;-) But I'm very happy and calm to simply say here, and honestly to myself, I'm over 50 and very psychic for a long time, and becoming so comfortable with it, I sometimes wonder if I'll just slip over into "the other side" someday and not even notice! Aaah! What a thought! But I'm more willing to entertain such thoughts more than ever! I think in the deepest "psychic moments" or call it meditation, I/we really do slip over into the other side for awhile! Beautiful and peaceful journey, loads of info and new things to learn there. Those little "trips" used to concern me, like something was taking control of me.... got over that over the past five years... what that "trip" is, is experiencing my very own inner self as it "goes out" into a very real spiritual/intuitive reality, of my own free will, and it is perfectly normal, valuable, restful, and very helpful.... NOW.... to learn a bit more how to HARNESS this ability and make it work a bit better for working with others! For me it personally feels like play, just something very natural, nearly like daydreaming, but far more than that, feels like floating on a cloud, which most would say is dangerous! Gee, I don't seem to have any problems with that, haven't fallen off yet! So I would like to more finely tune this "play" and direct it more efficiently to helping other folks! I hope Ms. Self finds this, perhaps there is some guidance and hope for me to become better at this with other people! Thanks for a very nice website, and I think I saw you at the end of the 17 May DC seminar! Signed up on your sheet at the back! That was a great day, husband and I both attended! J.A.
Thanks J.A. And congrats on owning it. I usually use the word intuition, too. But happily also own psychic. :)
I like to think of intuition as one of many faculties I'm wired with and meant to use....all for the integration/balance of my mind, heart, emotions and spirit.
In other words, it's for my spiritual development and well-being in all ways that supports my spirit.
So I use intuition for everything.
- Buying a house
- Next phase of spiritual development
- To date or not to date
- How to be of service
- What foods nourish me
- The nature of 'self'
- What can I expect from this conference?
- what approach/behavior will best help with this person
One of the reasons I like Sonia, as well as my teacher Jim, is they encourage the spiritual and the practical. They encourage consciously using intuition.
