Psychic abilities are often a natural-born talent. Some people are more naturally attuned to the unseen: more sensitive to energy, intuition, and the world beyond the physical.

However, anyone has the ability to develop or strengthen psychic abilities. Like singing or sports, psychic abilities are skills that can be strengthened. While those with innate talent may feel more at ease tapping in, anyone can strengthen their abilities with practice, patience, and trust. Developing your psychic sense starts with opening yourself up to what’s already within.

How To Get In Touch With Your Psychic Abilities

Tuning into your psychic abilities starts with mindfulness and intention. Like any practice, it requires openness, consistency, and a shift in mindset. 

If you feel drawn to a certain path, trust that instinct. Maybe you’re a natural empath and have always sensed people’s emotions, or perhaps you’ve experienced premonitions, or felt the energy of places and objects. You could feel a deep connection to ancestors or those who have passed. Whatever’s pulling you in, start there. Your intuition already knows the way.

For help figuring out what your psychic abilities are and the best way to develop them, you may want to consider speaking to an expert psychic advisor who can offer clarity.

Methods To Strengthen Psychic Abilities

Psychic abilities aren’t just intuitive — they’re also like a muscle; they can be trained and developed with practice. Here are some accessible ways to start building your connection.

Experiment With Tarot

Pulling Tarot cards for divination is a great way to connect to the energies of the Universe and build up your psychic abilities. Whether you’re reading for yourself or others, the act of asking questions, sitting with symbolism, and interpreting cards helps sharpen both your intuition and your connection to Spirit. Layer in meditation or intention-setting to open up communication with your guides.

Keep a Journal

Journaling is a great way to strengthen your psychic abilities, as it creates space for reflection and pattern recognition. A dream journal can uncover subconscious messages. It can also help to record your moods, insights, and intuition, to help you track growth and deepen trust in your instincts.

Automatic Writing

This meditative technique invites you to enter a relaxed, trance-like state and let your hand move freely, allowing messages from your Higher Self, spirit guides, or other realms to come through without overthinking. It’s a direct way to bypass the conscious mind and access inner wisdom.

Create Rituals

Rituals, daily or weekly, help establish a rhythm for psychic work. Choose timing based on energetic themes, such as Mondays for spirit connection and Fridays for love. A ritual can be as simple as lighting a candle, drawing a bath with herbs and salt, or repeating a mantra.

Any type of spiritual ritual can also be useful in building up psychic abilities by clearing your mind and creating healthy habits. Creating a small altar that you can place candles, herbs, crystals, and other important objects on can help center and ground you, and give you something to return to where you can channel your energy and feel restored. What matters most is the consistency and intention to connect.

Discern Intuition From Fear

One of the most important skills is learning to tell the difference between a gut feeling (intuition) and anxiety or fear. Fear often brings doubt. Intuition is steady, clear, and sure, even if it doesn’t always make sense logically. With practice, you’ll get better at recognizing the difference.

Overcoming Blocks to Psychic Development

One of the most important steps to overcoming blocks in psychic development is doing the inner work to create a solid baseline where you trust your intuition to be in tune with your emotions. This involves understanding your feelings as well as regulating them, in addition to creating a safe and calm space to practice and connect with yourself.

Connecting to your body through meditation is a great place to start. There are plenty of guided meditations available for free or at low cost. Getting to a place where you can sit and peacefully send and receive messages to and from the Universe will go a long way to strengthening your psychic muscles.

An especially expedient way to overcome blocks to your psychic development is to speak with someone who has already mastered their intuition — speaking with a professional psychic advisor can give you an opportunity to ask powerful questions, and they may be able to help clear any negative energies or blockages in your way.

Incorporating Psychic Abilities and Intuition in Daily Life

As time goes on, the best way to build and keep these psychic abilities is to incorporate these habits and actions into your daily life. Work on trusting your gut and following your intuition to see how things play out.

Through a combination of mindfulness, inner work, ritual practice, and intuitive guidance, you can increase your psychic abilities and deepen your spiritual and mystical connections.

Remember to lean on the places where you already have natural strength, and find the places where you feel the most powerful, recharged, and sure of yourself to start. 

All good things take time, and there is virtually no downside to connecting to yourself and the world around you on a deeper level. It could be the start of building intense and meaningful psychic abilities.
