5 Things That Can Block Your Psychic Abilities

When it comes to developing psychic abilities, most people are focused on what they can do to enhance their psychic abilities. However, many are doing things that in fact, are slowing down the process.  There are 5 things that can block psychic abilities that many people are unaware of. Simply by avoiding these 5 things, you will naturally become more psychic.

5 Things That Can Block Your Psychic Abilities

1. Ingesting toxic substances such as; cigarettes, coffee, drugs, alcohol, and sugar. These substances are often abused by people. Even if you use these substances in moderation you are walking a fine line between unhealthy habits and overindulgent behavior.

When we give into addiction, we are allowing negative emotional attachments to possibly attach to our auric field causing us to leak energy and lower our vibrations. Never, ever go into an altered state for a reading, meditation, and or healing under the influence of mind altering substances!!

2. Participating in drama and gossip lowers our vibrations. When we are talk about others in a negative way, we are harming the soul of another. This is a lower consciousness activity. By directing hurtful words towards another, we are moving away from raising our consciousness by participating in words and emotions that have lower thoughtforms attached to them. Walk away from drama and gossip, STAT!

Did you know that you do not have to be in the same room to hurt another soul? Words are energy, emotions are energy. They have the same effect as being in the same room versus being in a different place than we are. The results are the same.

3. Allowing the negative ego to get out of control will most certainly stop your progression as a budding intuitive. I am talking about using your psychic abilities unethically such as; spying on others – a definite NO NO, trying to use your gift to influence others out of your need for control, and trying to one-up others by showing off your psychic abilities.

4. Not creating a safe and protected working environment for your spiritual practices such as meditation, readings, and healings. If we do not clear and keep ourselves and spaces energetically clean we can leave the door open for unwanted energy to come in.

5. Not setting boundaries and knowing your limitations is always a dangerous thing! Doing any psychic work when you are sick, tired or in a really unhealthy emotional place is going to shut down your psychic abilities instantly. It is important for us to take our psychic temperature each and every time we intend to open up ourselves psychically and be honest with ourselves and our limitations.

Developing your psychic abilities is fun, useful, important, and a gift for each and every one of us. If you do not know where to begin, please do seek out a teacher and or mentor through researching your area or requesting a referral from a trusted acquaintance.

What Is Your Strongest Psychic Gift? Find Out By Selecting One Of These Crystals

Do you know which psychic ability of the 4 main psychic senses is your strongest? Learn more about your own natural psychic abilities by selecting the crystal that calls to you. Each crystal helps enhance the corresponding "clair" when the user carries or wears it.

Take a moment to center yourself and then ask your Higher Self which of the following crystals will help enhance your intuitive abilities. ​

1. Clairvoyance/Lapis Lazuli - People that are clairvoyant are able to see psychic energy whether it be through pictures, movies, and or colors. Place your crystal on your 3rd eye to enhance your gift of clairvoyance.

2. Clairaudience/Labradorite - Clairaudience is the ability to hear psychically. You may hear messages, songs and all sorts of different sounds. If at all possible, wear selenite earrings or place a piece of selenite on the throat area while lying down to help fine tune your clairaudient abilities.

3. Claircognizance/Amethyst - With this ability you simply "know" things without trying to focus on the situation at hand. Information flows through the Higher Self and heart chakra effortlessly. Placing an amethyst crystal on your heart chakra will help bring out your claircognizant abilities.

4. Clairsentience/Rose Quartz - If you possess this ability, you are able to feel the energy of people and places that you interact with. Many empaths possess this psychic gift. Place a rose quartz on your solar plexus/stomach area to build your clairsentience abilities. This activity will help prevent you from absorbing the energetic influences that you are feeling.

What's Your Strongest Psychic Gift?

Everyone has psychic abilities, but not everyone is able to identity which psychic ability they are working with. By identifying  how you are receiving psychic information, you will begin to trust the information that is coming through because of the way the messages comes through to you.

Different psychic abilities are defined with the word “clair” in front of them. Below I have broken down the different clairs along with a test for each so that you so you can recognize which one you resonate most with. Keep in mind, it is not uncommon for someone to to be gifted with several psychic senses.

Are You Ready To See Which Psychic Gifts Your Possess?

Test #1

1. Do you hear your name being called?
2. Do you hear messages within your head that offer reasonable guidance?
3. Do you experience buzzing or ringing in your ears?
4. Do you hear things that others don’t hear.

Chances are you are clairaudient if you answered yes to 3 of these questions. Clairaudience is the ability to hear psychic energy, messages and sounds. The voices and or sounds aren’t heard with your physical ears but with the psychic sense of clairaudience.

Exercise – Sitting in total silence, allowing messages to come and go without straining will help you develop your clairaudient abilities.

Test #2

1. Do you have often have visions that play out like a movie?
2. Do you see colors around people?
3. Do you have vivid dreams?
4. Do you often see something out of the corner of your eye?

This test will help you find out if you have clairvoyant abilities. Clairvoyance is the ability to see psychic energy as pictures, visions, words may form in your mind’s eye and you may see colors and swirls of energy. Clairvoyants often think they are daydreaming but usually what people are experiencing is psychic information that is trying to come through.

Exercise – Rubbing the area between your eyes with your index finger will help stimulate your clairvoyant abilities.

Test #3

1. Do solutions simply pop into your mind without straining to find a solution?
2. When you misplace an object, does it’s location suddenly appear in your mind?
3. Are there some skills such as playing an instrument, that are second nature to you without any prior training?
4. Do you automatically know when someone is not being truthful?

Claircognizance is the ability to know information, you have a sense of clear knowing. Many of us have had experiences where we simply know what the outcome will be or what to do to solve a problem.

Exercise – Automatic writing will help you get in touch with this psychic ability. Also, writing down what you think the outcome will be to future events without second guessing yourself will help you to develop this psychic sense.

Test #4

1. Do large crowds overwhelm you where you can feel the emotions of the people around you?
2. You instantly pick up on the feeling of places you walk into without anyone sharing with you what is happening at that moment.
3. Are you able to pick up an object and know who it belongs to and it’s history?
4. Do you tend to use the words “I feel” when describing what thinking?

The ability associated with these questions is clairsentience. Clairsentience is the ability to feel or sense psychic energy. It is extremely important that clairsentients learn how to create and keep healthy boundaries with others due to their natural ability to pick up and take another’s emotions.

Exercise – Psychometry exercises will help you enhance this gift. Psychometry is the ability to tap into the energetic impressions and or history of physical objects and their owners simply by holding an object.

If you answered yes to 3 or more out of each group of questions, then you possess that psychic ability. Some of you may have answered yes to all of the questions, this means that you have your have a strong sense of intuition and would benefit from investing some time to fine-tune your all of your gifts so that you may implement them not only for your own well-being but for the benefit of others as well.

Some words of wisdom – please do not compare your abilities with anyone else’s abilities. Everyone’s gifts are unique and special. No two people will receive information in the same manner. Embrace your own uniqueness and don’t be afraid to allow your gifts to shine.

Enhance Your Intuition with Essential Oils

I use essential oils in just about every area of my life - for meditation, relaxation, in 

healing applications, sanitizing rooms as well as helping with an occasional bout of insomnia. By using aromatherapy, you can enhance your intuition with essential oils. It is an easy and effective way to open up your psychic gifts.

In addition to using essential oils to enhance my intuition, I also use them to ground me so that I stay connected and focused with the earthly plane while having my intuitive channel open and bringing through through messages for my clients.

Essential oils usually provide you with instant results. As you breathe in the aroma, the fragrance moves through the sinus cavity which is right next to the third eye and brain.
Your reaction from the oil is so quick because the aroma doesn't have far to travel. Therefore, by using essential oils, you will experience immediate results.

Suggested Oils To Enhance Your Intuition

• Patchouli
• Blue Yarrow
• Frankincense
• Eucalyptus
• Angelica
• Clary Sage
• Sandalwood
• Wormwood
• Bay Laurel 
• Myrrh

Suggested Oils Used For Grounding

• Cedarwood
• Sage
• Young Living's Grounding
• Young Living's Valor
• Spruce 
• Pine
• Peppermint

I usually apply the grounding oils to the bottoms of my feet as my energetic anchor.

Different Methods of Using Essential Oils To Activate Your Third Eye

• Place a drop or two on the crown chakra, the third eye chakra, temples, and or on the heart chakra.
• In an oil diffuser.
• Place a few drops in a bowl of water next to you.
• On a cotton ball, then putting the cotton ball in your air filter.
• Place a drop or two in the palms of your hands, rub your hands together, then breathe in the aroma Instantly you will feel your third eye open up.
• Wear a locket that has a chamber for essential oils around your neck.
• Anoint a white or purple candle with your favorite psychic oil.
• Add a couple of drops of oil to your bath water. (Be sure to check to see make sure you are not allergic to the oil)

Before using any essential oil, please make sure you thoroughly read the labels and do your own investigation on the product to be sure the quality is of a higher grade so you do not experience a rash or allergic reaction to the oil. Some oils are of a synthetic quality and some people are extremely sensitive to different blends or single oils.
