I never thought I was a psychic—let alone that I would one day become a professional psychic teaching this skill to people from all walks of life across the globe. For 20 years, I worked in very practical, hands-on jobs, and I didn’t believe in anything mystical or spiritual. That all changed when my father passed away (see full story here). After his death, his soul guided me to a book about reincarnation, spirit guides, and past lives. As I read, something inside me clicked, and I gradually realized that I had always been connected to the spirit world.
What I learned was truly eye-opening: everyone is connected to the unseen realm, and everyone has psychic abilities, whether they recognize it or not. Psychic gifts come in many forms—some more obvious than others—but they all involve an intuitive connection to the unseen world. Most people don’t even realize they have psychic abilities until they start paying attention to the signs. These subtle experiences can be easily brushed off as coincidences or gut feelings, but they’re actually your psychic senses trying to communicate with you.
Here are five key signs of psychic ability that might help you recognize and embrace your intuitive gifts.
1. You Have Strong Intuitive Hunches (Gut Feelings)
One of the clearest and most common signs of psychic ability is the presence of strong, unexplainable “gut feelings.” You’ve probably experienced a moment where you just knew something, without any rational reason behind it. These moments can happen in many forms: a sudden knowing that someone is thinking about you, a feeling that something is about to happen, or an inner voice guiding you to make a certain decision.
Example: Imagine you’re walking down the street and suddenly feel the urge to cross to the other side, even though there’s no apparent danger. A few minutes later, you walk past someone who was just about to bump into you. Or perhaps you’ve had a situation where you “knew” that someone was going to call you, and within minutes, the phone rang.
How to Recognize It: To develop your awareness, begin by paying close attention to those moments when you experience sudden insights or strong feelings. Trusting these hunches and learning to recognize them is the first step in unlocking your psychic abilities. And here’s the exciting part: everyone, including you, can enhance their psychic skills by recognizing the subtle signs from your spirit guides and trusting your intuition. This could be the key to unlocking new spiritual gifts within you.
How Your Soul Type Impacts Your Psychic Abilities: If you’ve always felt naturally drawn to the spiritual realm, you might be a Spiritualist soul type. For you, connecting with the unseen world feels almost instinctive, and psychic abilities like channeling come more easily. These soul types are highly attuned to the spiritual dimensions, making it simpler for them to develop and harness their psychic gifts. If this resonates with you, it could be fascinating to explore your soul type further and uncover how it shapes your connection with the spiritual and psychic realms. I can help you discover your soul types in a Life Plan Akashic Reading, so you can better understand your unique talents (often stemming from past lives), as well as your life missions.

2. You Experience Vivid Dreams or Visions
Psychics often receive information through vivid dreams or visions. If you’ve ever had a dream that felt more like a premonition (prophetic dreams) or received symbolic images that later turned out to be significant, you might be tapping into your psychic abilities. Lucid dreams and astral projections are also signs you are psychic.
Example: Let’s say you dream about a friend who has been distant lately, and in the dream, you find out they’ve been going through a tough time. A few days later, your friend opens up to you and confirms the situation exactly as you saw it.
How to Recognize It: Start keeping a dream journal. Write down the details of your dreams as soon as you wake up and reflect on whether any of the information has significance in your waking life.
Psychic Sensitivity at Bedtime: Did you know that bedtime can be one of the most active times for psychic sensations? If you’ve ever experienced random faces appearing when you close your eyes (clairvoyance), heard phantom sounds like someone saying “hello” (clairaudience) or felt tingling or tapping sensations on your body (clairsentience), these might be signs of your psychic abilities awakening.
Tips for Enhancing Your Psychic Dreams and Visions: To enhance your connection, set an intention before sleep and meditate on dream symbols upon waking. Cleansing your energy before bed can also amplify clarity.

Embrace Your Psychic Journey
Psychic abilities are more common than you might think, and they’re not reserved for a select few—they’re accessible to everyone. If these signs resonate with you, start cultivating your psychic potential:
Trust Your Intuition: The more you trust your gut feelings, the stronger your psychic abilities will become, and you will be able to make the difference between the messages from your ego VS those from your spirit guides.
Keep a Journal: Track intuitive hunches, dreams, and psychic experiences.
Raise Your Vibration with an Open Heart Chakra: It’s important to keep your heart chakra open to raise your vibrations, as this allows you to connect more easily with your spirit guides. Since they operate on high frequencies of love and light, an open heart makes it easier for you to channel their messages.
Meditate Regularly: Quiet your mind to strengthen your connection to the unseen.
