We are all gifted with spiritual or psychic abilities. Yes, you really are psychic! Spiritual guidance will come to you in the language and ways you are most familiar with. It will use your vocabulary, your ways of speaking, your experiences, your gifts, your symbols, and even your sense of humor. How else would you recognize the messages sent to you?

We were given gifts so that we can choose to tune into our Divine Source, Higher Being, and Spirit Guides anytime we want to receive guidance while we are in our physical bodies. You may not have a particular divination tool available when you want it. It’s important to learn to go within to find the answers to your personal questions and concerns.

We receive spiritual communication, guidance, and information through one or more of our six spiritual, or psychic senses. You may receive guidance consciously, semi-consciously or while in full trance. Check and see which of these abilities you are already using.

You just know…
You may be claircognizant or intuitive and have an inner knowing about things. The information, idea, concept or thought “just comes to you” and has the feeling of “this is important”. The knowledge you receive often flashes suddenly into your mind seemingly “out of no where.” You may know who is on the phone before you answer it, or know personal things about people you just met. You just know something, although you may not know why or how you know it.

It’s as if you can hear…
You may be clairaudient and psychically hear sounds, words, sentences, thoughts, tones, music, bells, chimes, ringing, whooshing, buzzing, white noise sounds, songs, and other types of sounds or noises that “pop into your head.” You may hear conversations as you fall asleep or wake up between people you do not see. These sounds and words are inaudible to the normal hearing range and most often seem to come from within your head or “out of nowhere.”

A picture in your mind’s eye…
You may also be clairvoyant and see pictures flash in your mind’s inner third eye as insights. These pictures come as a clear vision or they may be nebulous forms hidden in a cloudy substance. What you see may appear to be superimposed upon a solid object that’s in front of you when your eyes are open or you may see the vision within your forehead when your eyes are closed. When the image is of a psychic origin and you aren’t thinking it up yourself, the image is seen first and then thought about. It is usually not thought up and then seen.

You may psychically see a person, scene, object, lights, words, colors, auras, symbols, past lives, loved ones in spirit, visions of the past, present or future, and people or places in other spiritual dimensions. These pictures may appear as if you are viewing still photographs or they may be moving like a home movie. You may even feel you are actually in the scene you are seeing.

You have a knot in your stomach…
You may also be clairsentient and perceive information through a sensation within your physical body. You may get a “gut feeling” in your stomach of what to do or say. You may also get a “gut feeling” of what not to say or do. You may even sense the body aches and ill health of someone else not in the room in specific parts of your own physical body. You may also feel the emotions or personality of another person whom you do not know personally or who is not in the room. You may sense the presence of deceased relatives, guides, and angels.

A taste in your mouth or an odor in the air…
You may be clairgustant and psychically taste a substance, liquid or food without actually putting anything in your mouth.

You may also be clariscentrist and psychically smell fragrances, flowers, perfume or other odors such as tobacco or alcohol even when a substance or food is not in your immediate surroundings.

*****************************************

You often connect with the spiritual realms when you sleep, pray, daydream, feel inspired, invent or create something, use imagination or intuition, do artwork, commune with nature, play an instrument, solve a problem, walk, drive, relax, meditate, write, wonder, speak, think or practice mindfulness among other things. For women, the week before your period is an especially good time for receiving guidance. Pay attention to thoughts, feelings, and impressions at that time.
High spiritual guidance is loving, repetitive, mature, familiar, respectful, powerful, joyful, strong, and persistent. It talks about your life’s purpose and is supportive, inspiring, and empowering. It offers suggestions and guides saying “you” versus “I” in a straightforward manner. Guidance is not scary, although it may offer a loving warning or suggestion of doing things a different way. When asking for advice, Divine Spirit will not tell you what to do. It recognizes a higher power, leaves the choice up to you, encourages your growth and development, and recognizes the divine order of things. You have free will at all times.

If you feel the guidance you are receiving is trustworthy and has your highest and best interests in mind, then it’s important to act on the guidance you are receiving even if it means changing things or stretching yourself a bit. Have the courage to act in ways that love, accept, respect, and support you while you continue to love, accept, respect, and support others as they do what’s right for them.
When you wonder if the mail has come, who’s on the phone, what to eat, what you should do about a problem, where to turn, when something will be on sale, where to go on vacation, if your pet is sick, what your partner would like for their birthday – simply ask and wait for the answer. Go within yourself and really listen for the answers. They may come through one of your inner spiritual or psychic senses. They may not come right away, but if you keep asking and listening, the answers will come. Simply ask and you shall receive.
