Psychic abilities and quieting your mind

  • May 22
  • 6 min read

For quieting my mind, I listen to a binaural beat meditation that starts out with guided instructions to relax, focus on the breath, remember who we are as a soul, and then the guided part stops and it's just pink noise. Pink noise is in a lot of meditations where it's a nice sound similar to rain that helps you quiet your mind.


When we are focusing on the pink noise, it slows brainwaves and allows an expanded state of consciousness. In scientific terms, our brainwave state shifts into an alpha state and may even shift to a theta state. When we are busy, we are normally in a beta brainwave state but when we quiet our mind, the alpha and theta brainwave states allows us to connect with our own higher self, spirit guides, and the spirit realm. I share the meditations that I like to listen to at the end of this post.


If you really don't want to meditate, you can also walk in nature. My guides told me to just listen to the birds sometimes. When I wake up and the birds are singing out my window, I do try to just listen to the birds and that's actually the same as listening to a meditation for me. Sometimes I also just sit in the grass with my dog and focus on my breath.


Humans really need to find something that works for them and TV doesn't count. Watching TV does slow brainwaves but what's on our TVs today is not something that we want to consume for the purpose of growth, peace, harmony, intuition, and love. Watching TV is filling our minds with other people's thoughts and perspectives, and those perspectives may not be helpful for us.


I took classes in evidential mediumship from different well-known teachers and the key to psychic abilities for most people is meditation and learning to quiet the mind. There are people that are born with stronger psychic abilities. These are the people that see and hear spirits when they are little kids. It's as if these people have something physically different about them where they have the ability to see and hear the energetic realms. Most of us are not like this. If you do feel you have strong psychic abilities then you should take classes from a really good medium like Suzanne Giesemann, James Van Praagh, or Jamie Butler, and also read their books. You need to learn how psychic abilities work and how to control your psychic abilities


For most people, when we quiet our mind through meditation, we are able to use our natural psychic abilities. All humans have psychic abilities and people are stronger in one or two. I personally noticed which psychic ability is my strongest over time, I would say about 2-3 years of meditation helped me figure it out. Below are the key abilities. These key abilities are linked to our energetic auric field and physical body.


Clairvoyant: Clear sense of seeing. If you are clairvoyant, you will see pictures and visions more easily in your mind.  If you are more clairvoyant, your spirit guides will know this and try to guide you by showing you pictures.


Clairaudient: Clear sense of hearing.Those that are clairaudient tend to hear their guides in their head. It usually sounds like your own voice. So your guides will put ideas into your mind and you will think they are your thoughts. Messages from spirit guides are always loving and helpful.


Clairsentient: Clear sense of feeling. Clairsentient means you can feel energy. The people that are clairsentient will walk into a room or public place and can feel the mood. Those that are strong in this psychic ability need to take care of their energy because they often pick up energy from other people. Also, these people should avoid public places, if possible, because there is so much energy in public places. I would suggest looking online or on YouTube for a mediumship teacher that teaches about clairsentience because it's important to understand it.


Claircognizance: Clear sense of knowing. I am very claircognizant and what I noticed is that the top of my head tingles sometimes. This means my spirit guides are sending me information through my crown chakra which is an energy center at the top of our heads. This psychic ability is like getting downloads of information directly to our minds. However, what I noticed is that it takes time to integrate and understand the information my guides share with me.


Which psychic ability is your strongest? If you aren't sure, you can quiet your mind and ask questions to your spirit guides. You can see how the information comes to you. Do you get pictures in your mind? Do you hear thoughts in your mind? Do you get emotional or physical sensations? Do you just have a knowing of the answer? If you feel like you get nothing, then you need to meditate or quiet your mind in nature more. This all takes time to perceive energy.


Mediums use all their psychic abilities when they are doing a reading. During a mediumship session, a medium will be getting pictures in their mind, listening to guides or loved ones in spirit, getting sensations of energy that create goosebumps on their arms, and they will have a knowing when something is correct. It's a very difficult job to be an evidential medium. This isn't just about mediums though, all people have psychic abilities and we can use them to find our path.


The key to all of this is learning to quiet your mind. When you are able to quiet a spinning human mind, you are more in tune with your higher self (your own soul) and your spirit guides, and then you can "hear" them. You can be guided in the right direction, which means you are in the "flow" as the spiritual community says. You are following the best path for you.


Our psychic abilities also help us connect with loved ones in spirit. Our loved ones that have transitioned to the spirit side visit us all the time. They watch over us and support us from the spirit realm. They are energy and the way energy works is you move with intention and thoughts. So when we think of our loved ones in spirit, it creates a portal for them to visit with us. I've heard many times that it's very challenging to get through to humans on Earth because there's so much noise around us. If you wonder why your loved one in spirit isn't contacting you, they likely are but you just can't hear them. Based on my experience, it takes a lot of time to quiet our mind. It took me about 2-3 years. The more you learn to quiet your mind, the more in tune to energy you will be.


I want to be clear that it's very rare for people to actually physically see or hear spirits. There are very few people that have this ability and they likely had it when they were children. What I'm saying here is that if you meditate 30min to an hour per day, you don't have to be afraid you will see or hear spirits. It does not happen like that. Energy is very subtle and even for mediums that meditate daily, it still can be challenging to connect to spirits. I share this because I was afraid of meditating initially because I thought I would see spirits. Seriously that does not happen unless you are very psychic, and if you are very psychic you would know.


What I did notice after I meditated everyday, is that I felt more peaceful and more in tune with who I am. I started to feel more guided on a path that was better aligned for me. After about 2-3 years of meditation, it's still hard for me to discern thoughts from my brain and what my spirit guide or higher self are trying to tell me. This is a work in progress for any spiritual person though.


If you are curious or interested in learning more about psychic abilities and/or connecting with spirit guides, angels, or loved ones in spirit, I recommend taking an online evidential mediumship class. There are a lot of good teachers on the Shift Network. I personally recommend a class with Suzanne Giesemann. She also has a ton of information and free videos on YouTube. I'm not a medium but I took mediumship classes for my own personal research and curiosity. It is definitely legitimate. Of course there are mediums that are better than others but that's with any job. If you want to meet with a medium, try to find someone recommended or someone certified.
