I have another tip! For energy sensing and intuition building.

Basically you take 4 cards (to start, or however many you feel comfortable with) and they can be cards that you created just out of paper or cards you buy.

The backs of the cars should be exactly the same and you should not be able to see through to the front of the card. The front side of the cards could have numbers, colors, shapes, or the elements (or whatever else.)

You turn the cards over, shuffle and lay them face down. Then you would try to sense the triangle or sense the fire or sense the color blue, etc.

When you feel you have your card, turn it over and see if you're right! If you are having a hard time choosing between two different cards you feel may be right, turn one over to see if you're right but turn the other one over too.

If the one you didn't turn over IS the card you were looking for but you decided on the other one instead, try to think about what/how/why you felt this way about the cards. Try to remember the feeling that you got when you chose the right card.

I hope that makes sense! If it doesn't I'm sorry and I will respond to questions for clarification, etc. But the feeling you get when you're right is SO awesome! 😂 and if you can't seem to get any right, its okay!! don't give up. 😊 5 - 10 minutes of this a day can really help you tune in to your intuition more and really boost your confidence.

I am obsessed with this channel, I am trying not to binge so I don't run out of content 😅

My biggest thing was cutting everyone out of my life to focus on myself. That was how I connect to my medium abilities. I needed to cut out the chatter from the world. Especially people that were being negative. The last few years have been interesting. I wish everyone love and light on their journey. ❤

I have known that I am an empath for most of my life, just recently while meditating to tibetan singing bowls I was able to build a shield between that ability and the constant incoming emotions, it was such a relief

I loved the description of "the tendril technique"! When I was a member of Lunar Wisdom Coven, I adopted a game we used to play in grammar school (a game I was damn good at) to practice sensing the energy of others within the coven.

In the game, our the teacher would pick a student who would sit in a chair with their back towards the classroom of students. She would put a chalkboard eraser under the chair then she would walk up to one of us that was sitting at our desks. The chosen student would go up and attempt to take the eraser without alarming the other student. If the student sitting in the chair sensed that someone was approaching they would "bark" and that person would return to their desk without the eraser. If the chosen student was able to snatch the eraser then they would return to their seat and hide the eraser inside of their desk. The student with their back to the class would turn around and guess who snatched the eraser.

What I did to adopt the game was to have one coven member sit blindfolded with their back to the group. The rest of us would decide who was going to approach the blindfolded coven member and stand behind them. The blindfolded member would then attempt to determine who it was standing behind them. Sometimes we would place our hands on the blindfolded individual's shoulders if they were struggling.

only this year am i finally realizing that the majority of the things i consider "weird quirks of my brain" are psychic abilities. it's amazing how many truly divine gifts i'd written off as "oh, everyone probably does that", or "it's just because i'm autistic and my brain is different." claiming the identity psychic and claiming my skills as psychic skills has been so so empowering!!! every day i catch myself brushing off downloads as if they're nothing, but baby steps!

[kathleenroberts]

Great video. I meditate daily but don't get caught up in thinking it has to be a big thing. You can do 3 minutes. Anyone can.
I am a psychic medium and enjoyed hearing all you shared.

I wonder if others relate to this: my primary fear is of tapping into "negative entities". I've heard so many occultists talk about "protection", and " grounding" and "boundaries". Protection from what? If I need protection, it sounds like a bad idea; whats the trade-off?

[ezekiel_om]

The most simplest but supremely profound form of meditation for those of you who are wondering how to calm the mind during a meditation is simply by watching your breath with the mind, that's it.

[leejeonghan]

Such A great teacher in occultism, elaborate explanations with specific logics, great encouragement. You deserve more and more audiences who have good will towards your teaching. Feel very great energy watching your channel ❤

i really dont want to be debbie downer and i definitely dont know more than an experienced medium but regarding the topic at about 7:00, going to a psychologist/ therapist/ mental health professional if the experience of newfound psychic abilities is making you question your sanity- Ive heard from so many people that this is exacly what happened to them when their powers started awakening and that there is a legitimate danger that if you go to a therapist or other MH professional, that they almost always mistake your abilities with symptoms of psychosis, like schizophrenia. I watched an episode of Psychic Kids on A&E where a girls mother said psychic ability ran in the family and she was taught by her mother to never talk about it to doctors because a person can actually be involuntarily admitted to an inpatient psychiatric facilitiy if a MH doctor says their suffering from schizophrenic or psychotic symptoms. I know this all sounds very melodramatic but sadly its a very real danger, especially for teenagers bcuz the teen years is when schizophrenia usually presents for the first time so a therapist who doesnt believe in psychic ability might actually think theyre doing the right thing by committing a perfectly sane person who just has psychic ability. This is actually a real thing that can happen. Or short of being involuntarily committed, it might just screw with your head even more if your already having a rocky time adjusting to new abilities, hearing a "professional" in a position of power say something like "well, what your describing are all symptoms of mental illness and theres no proof that psychics are real" that might set you back even further and make you question yourself even more. Sorry for the heavy talk but sadly theres an actual history of this happening. Just wanted to put the info out there in case some ppl didn't know.

One of my fav meditations is a chocolate meditation. I take a piece of chocolate and just let it melt in your mouth, analyzing it as it melts. Things like shape, size, taste, texture, etc.

My abilities began to "happen to me" from further back than I can remember but by the time I was 19 I had so many frightening moments that I began to focus on turning them completley off, now at 51, I am cautiously re-educating myself from a beginning perspective, my experiences were not pleasant, but very powerful and so I deeply fear my own abilities, moving forward I have been experimenting with aura detection and energetic protection, empathic protection and overall grounding, centering etc, , been an interesting journey for sure.

I’ve always felt like I’m claircognizant but I’ve never really worked on it to improve and be better. Lately I’ve felt really blocked and I feel like it’s taking a toll on me mentally because I don’t feel like I’m living up to my potential so this was very helpful! Thank you!

[IOnlyHearStatic]

WHEN YOU STARTED TALKING ABOUT ENERGY SENSING WITH TAROT--I've been drawing tarot that way for YEARS and didn't even know that was a THING! I was literally thinking "They get hot and buzz" before you said it--I have never heard ANYONE else talk about that method holy CRAP

[sophies_poppin]

Ive seen spirits twice (body apparitions) in my life and they both have been patients that Ive taken care of. I’m a caregiver for the elderly and one appeared in my room and I got woken up and I was half awake and half asleep. I was so scared and instantly knew who it was. I seen her from the waste up and she was clear. She appeared to be the way I knew her when I took care of her. But she looked frozen and didn't move. The other one was a flash out the corner of my eye while I was walking upstairs at my job and they were very vivid but when I looked up she was gone. This was a week after she died. I can’t choose to use my abilities when ever I want. It usually comes out of nowhere and I can’t control when psychic things happen to me. It just randomly happens sometimes. Not all the time. I’ve not been able to talk to spirits yet. My goal is to be a medium and help people💙I also want to become a paranormal investigator. I’m also going to school to be a hospice nurse. I love your videos and thank you for everything.

I don’t really know if this is one of the Psychic Abilities but since I can remember, when I lay down, or sit comfortably and close my eyes I kind of “travel” to real places. I can smell those places, feel the temperature, everything really, and I’m able to describe them to other in the moment. Problem is, I don’t know when and how to “start travel” it just happens and I would love to know more. I’m a pagan witch so I work with my energies a lot but this is something I’ve always had and would love to master one day

[taratehuia]

I am an Empath. I can feel and hear spirits. I can only see spirits(My Loved ones who passed) As a warning. I just found out recently that my whole life. I have been having reoccurring dreams. Because I am dreaming of a past life. And it has given me a better understanding as to why I am the way I am. Thank you so much for this video. It helped me out a lot. Sending lots of love and blessings your way!!!

Such brilliant advice. I am 70.I used to sit in a developement Circle until Covid brought everything to an abrupt halt. I had a great circle leader who told me I was really opening my third eye. This was about 7 years ago. I live out in the countryside where there are no facilities to attend a study circle. I still believe I have the abilities, how can I develope this with a disapline even at my age. Incidentally, at our circle there was an 83 year old man who only developed his abilities at this later age after he was seriously ill. He is now a fully fledged Medium. Any advice you can give will be gratefully accepted. Thankyou. 🙂💜💐🇬🇧

Hi Ivy! I LOVE your advice! I am a Psychic/Medium and I use affirmations, meditation, crystals, and other techniques to enhance and develop my ability. I love the meditation, "Sitting in the Power" which is specifically designed to develop your mediumship abilities all by doing the meditation.

I also do tarot readings here on Youtube and technically, I am going to get started on them this week!

I practiced my mediumship so hard before that I got results that only professionals on TV get, and it shocked me! That was the key defining moment when I KNEW I was actually a medium after years of hard work every single day.

So for anyone out there, dont give up! Keep working on it and breathe! It takes time, and intuition, psychic, mediumhship, meditation, its all a muscle, or like a muscle- the more you use it, the stronger it gets! So not only will doing exercises to grow it will work, but also throw yourself out there and start doing readings! The best results to me come from reading strangers. That way when they give you feedback, you KNOW youre not making stuff up!
