Grab your favorite mug and settle in and let's get started. Hello everyone, I am so happy to talk about this subject today because I've received so many requests to do this podcast, and that's how to know if you have psychic or medium abilities In a world of unanswered questions and mysteries. The concept of psychic and medium abilities has fascinated people for centuries, from healing to divination. The idea that certain individuals can perceive realities beyond our five senses is both intriguing and, for many, a source of anxiety. Now, could you be among one of those who possess these extraordinary abilities? In this podcast, we're going to explore what psychic and medium abilities entail, signs that you may have them and ways to further develop your potential. I've been coaching psychics and mediums for a while now, and throughout this journey I've gathered a wealth of insight to share with those eager to discover their unique gifts. The first step I emphasize is the importance of self-awareness. Understanding one's emotions, thoughts and instincts is crucial to recognizing and honing onto your psychic or mediumship abilities. Now, before we delve into signs and identification, let's clarify the difference between psychic and medium abilities.

Jay Lane: 2:07

Psychic abilities refer to the ability to receive information outside the usual sensory channels. Psychics may have heightened intuition, precognition or the ability to pick up on the emotions and thoughts of others. Common forms include clairvoyance, which is clear seeing, clairaudience, which is clear hearing, and clairsentience, which is clear feeling. A medium is a specific type of psychic that communicates with spirits or entities from the spiritual realm, and they act as a bridge between the living and those who have passed away, often providing messages of comfort, closure or guidance. So let's go through the signs that you might have psychic abilities.

Jay Lane: 2:58

The very first one is intense intuition. One of the most common indicators of psychic ability is a heightened sense of intuition, or, as I call them, gut feelings. If you often know things before they happen or you have a strong sense of how situations will unfold, you may possess psychic abilities. Trusting your instincts can lead you to insights that others may miss. I love vivid dreams. Now, psychics often experience vivid, prophetic dreams filled with messages, symbols or events that later manifest in reality. If you recall your dreams distinctly and notice them coming true, you need to pay attention. There may be a deeper meaning to the imagery that's being presented to you Now empathic sensitivity. Empaths are individuals who can pick up on the emotions and energies of those around them. Energies of those around them. If you frequently feel overwhelmed in crowded places or you struggle with absorbing the mood of others, or you have a strong desire to help, you may be an empath, a potential precursor to psychic or medium abilities.

Moving on to synchronicities Experiencing synchronicities or meaningful coincidences can also indicate a psychic connection. If you frequently notice coincidences that feel too uncanny to be random, such as thinking about a friend and then hearing from them, consider it a sign that you may have heightened awareness. Now, heightened perceptions of surroundings is also something that psychics often report, such as enhanced sight, sound or smell. This might manifest as seeing energy or auras around people or sensing changes in the atmosphere. This acute awareness can be both a gift and also a burden. Experiences of knowing have you ever met someone and just knew something about them without any prior information? This inexplicable knowing is often reported by psychics, so if you frequently experience this sensation, it might point to a psychic gift.

Jay Lane: 5:33

Now let's review signs that you might be a medium. If you believe your abilities are more aligned with connecting with those in the spirit world, you may have mediumistic abilities, and here are some of the signs to consider sensing spirit presence many mediums report a strong feeling or awareness of spirit presence, which may manifest as a chill in the air, sudden mood shifts or even visual apparitions. If you had an experience where you felt a spirit nearby or thought you saw someone who had passed away, it might be a medium. Now, hearing or seeing spirits Some mediums experience clairaudience, which is hearing spirits, or clairvoyance, which is seeing spirits, and if you've heard your name being called when no one's around or you've seen shadowy figures, you may possess medium abilities. The next one is receiving messages. If you've had moments of clarity where you received messages that feel significant, whether in thought or images or feelings, this may indicate mediumship. Mediums often relay messages from spirits, and if you find yourself doing this, naturally you need to pay attention. Now, spirit communication through writing is so interesting because some mediums communicate with spirit through what they call automatic writing, where they allow messages to flow through them onto paper. If you find that your writing takes on a different voice or style. It may be a sign of a spirit presence.

Do you have a strong connection to the afterlife? If you feel a deep-rooted fascination or connection to the afterlife or the spirit world, or you've experienced personal loss that ignited a desire to understand more about life after death, your journey could be leading you towards developing medium abilities. So how to develop these abilities medium abilities so how to develop these abilities. If you resonate with signs like I've mentioned, or you might be wondering about how to further explore these abilities, here are some practical steps to guide you onto your journey. The first thing I recommend is keeping a journal. Document your intuitive experiences, document your dreams or any sign of your mediumistic communication, because this will help you recognize patterns and validate your experiences.

Jay Lane: 8:13

I often recommend meditation and mindfulness. Meditation is an essential practice for tuning into your inner self and enhancing psychic abilities, and it helps quiet the mind, allowing for greater clarity and reception of intuitive insight, and mindfulness techniques can sharpen your awareness of external energies and emotions. Grounding techniques, engaging in grounding practices, such as spending time in nature or focusing on your breath, can help stabilize your energies and make it easier to connect with your psychic or medium side. Studying and connecting with others is another thing that I recommend, because, when you read books on psychic development or attend workshops, connecting with others is another thing that I recommend, because when you read books on psychic development or attend workshops, connecting with like-minded individuals can provide support, insight and shared experiences. I always tell people to practice regularly.

Like any other skill, developing psychic or medium abilities takes practice. Experiment with different techniques, such as tarot, card readings, working with crystals or other divination tools to find that resonate with you and, last but not least, trust your instincts. The most important thing is to trust your intuition and let it guide you. Psychic and medium abilities operate on belief and confidence, and the more you trust yourself, the more your abilities will flourish. So, whether you feel a nudge from your intuition or have had direct experiences with the spirit world, recognizing and nurturing psychic or medium abilities can be a really enriching journey. While not everyone might identify as a psychic or medium, being open to the experience can lead to a deeper self-awareness and understanding of the mysteries of life. Remember, this journey is very individualistic. Embrace the unique path that unfolds for you.
