When it comes to psychic development, we each have our own way of receiving intuitive information. Some sources refer to this as your “psychic type” or your “intuitive style.”
Psychic information typically arrives in a manner that is familiar or that makes sense to you as an individual. For instance, some people are mainly visual learners, some are auditory and some are tactile, hands-on learners. If you prefer to read and look at images or diagrams then you are more likely to receive information in a visual manner. If you prefer to listen to lectures or verbal instructions, you are more of an auditory leaner. If you feel the need to touch and manipulate objects, you are more of a tactile learner.
In the intuitive world, people who receive visions are clairvoyant. Those who hear messages are clairaudient and those that are tactile are using something called psychometry.
Clairvoyants can receive visions with their eyes either open or closed. They may like to have something to look at while doing a reading. They usually like tarot cards or runes for the symbols and for the expressions on the faces in the cards.
Clairaudients hear messages. They may be audible messages heard with the ear, or they may feel like a little voice inside, but somehow they can identify it as not their own inner voice. It seems to come from somewhere else.
Psychometry involves getting information by holding a person’s hand or one of their personal objects.
Some sources categorize psychic types into four main varieties: emotional, physical, mental and spiritual. For further reading, Sherrie Dillard has a book called Discover Your Psychic Type that delves into deeper explanations of these psychic types.
Here are some brief explanations:
The emotional psychic usually picks up information about the emotional states of those around them. This psychic type may have difficulty filtering other people’s emotions from their own and may have sudden mood swings they cannot explain. They are very empathic and sympathetic to others and their work will usually focus on helping others to find peace and happiness. They can get overly attached to the emotional health of others and must be cautious so they do not take on the problems of other people.
The physical psychic picks up more information with their body. They may feel the physical pain of others and their main focus may be on finding health and wellness. They rely on “gut” feelings and they may be heard saying things like, “It just felt right.” They tend to carry a lot of physical burdens and must be careful about their own health.
The mental psychic is very evidence centered. They must find ways of verifying their intuitions and they are often interested in the scientific theories behind what they do. They are analytical and can have a hard time trusting the information they receive.
The spiritual psychic is in tune with the higher realms. They are often mediums who receive messages from spirits and guides. They can be idealistic and sometimes miss details pertaining to the physical, earthly life because they only see the beauty of each individual soul.
All of this can sound a little confusing at first, but it is meant to help you understand that there is more than one way to be psychic. If you are wondering how to become psychic, then you must allow yourself to open up to the many possible ways you can use your intuition, so you will have more methods to try and more ways to improve your chances of success.
You may also find that you are a bit of a mixed bag as a psychic being. You may experience a combination of different sensations.
At first, what often happens is that you get little flashes of information, like pieces of a puzzle. If you are lucky, you receive enough pieces to form a picture. I cannot emphasize enough that this part takes lots of practice. You may start to pick up on things relatively easily, but it could take months or even years for you to learn how to interpret the information accurately. It is very important to start this journey with a firm commitment and the intention to succeed. We can all do this. You will proceed at your own pace and in your own time.
For example, you may see fuzziness or light around a person, or you may find that when you close your eyes, you see sparks of light or colour. At the same time, you may get a tingle somewhere in your hands, or up the back of your neck. All of this could correspond to a pressure or pain somewhere in your body, and you may have an emotional reaction too. All of it means something. The important part is to learn how to get in touch with your own psyche and body, so that you can pick-up on the information that is coming through. After that, the challenge is to sort it all out.
When starting out, try to open up and allow information to flow through you naturally without the mental analysis.
In the beginning, keep it simple. You will have to keep reminding yourself of this point. The natural human response is to want to know all the answers. We want clarity now. We want a step-by-step manual and a written guarantee, please!
But you need to be patient. When you get to the point of trying to do a reading, you will need to work with people who are open to you asking questions about them. You require feedback to help you learn how to be a success. You can start relating the sensations that you are experiencing with what the person tells you. Certain visions or feelings will start to make sense to you. For example, when I have a vision of a person in a lab coat, it tells me that the person is in a profession where people wear lab coats. I will know they are in medicine, science or possibly aesthetics.
The important point is that you will develop your own system of clues and hints that make sense to you.
