introduction to psychic abilties

“all mediums are psychic, but not all psychics are mediums”

Psychics are aware of things around them that cannot be detected by the ordinary 5 senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell.  They have what is known as ‘a sixth sense’ which is one of intuition or ESP (extra sensory perception).  They use this ability to tune into peoples energies in many different ways.  

Here are some terms associated with psychics…

clairvoyance [from late 17th century French clair (clear) & voyant (seeing)] is seen as a form of extra-sensory perception whereby a person purportedly acquires psychic knowledge primarily by visual means. A clairvoyant is said to be capable of perceiving distant objects, persons, or events. Clairvoyants may also perceive types of energy not normally perceptible to humans, such as discarnate "spirits" and "auras".

clairaudience [from late 17th century French clair (clear) & audience (hearing)] is a form of extra-sensory perception whereby a person acquires psychic knowledge by auditory means. Clairaudience is essentially the ability to hear in a paranormal manner. Clairaudience may refer not to actual perception of sound, but may instead indicate impressions of the "inner mental ear" similar to the way many people think words without having auditory impressions. But it may also refer to actual perception of sounds such as voices, tones, or noises which are not apparent to other humans or to recording equipment. For instance, a clairaudient person might hear the voices or thoughts of the spirits of persons who are deceased. 

clairsentience [From the French clair, “clear,” + sentience, “feeling,” ultimately derived from the Latin clarus, “clear,” + sentiens, derived from sentire, “to feel”] is a form of extra-sensory perception whereby a person acquires psychic knowledge primarily by means of feeling.

channelling is where a psychic acts as a ‘channel’ for information from the world of spirit.  This can be done by drawing images and/or portraits, this technique is called "psychic art", writing it down (automatic writing) or by letting the voice of the spirit wishing to communicate and speak "through" them. Channels may also use psychic tools such as tarot cards, dowsing rods and crystal balls to help then with this process.
