We are all born with six senses: Seeing: Hearing; Touching; Smelling; Tasting; and your sixth sense which for arguments sake we will call your psychic sense. From our first breath we are using and working our 5 senses, but not many people work on our sixth sense. This sixth sense can be very powerful indeed.
Let’s be totally honest here, most of us do not use our 5 physical senses to their full potential.
Seeing
Psychics use this sense a great deal their work. There are basically two different kinds of sight for the psychic. Some see images in their own mind. Others actually see images presented in the physical, for example ghosts and orbs.
Hearing
When you hear something psychically it is called Clairaudience. Clairaudience is the ability to hear recognizable messages from outside the normal hearing range.
One of my examples of Clairaudience is as follows: I was busy preparing lunch for myself and my 2 year old son. He was happily playing in our fully enclosed backyard, which had a 4ft fence all around and locked gates. All of a sudden there was this voice in my head which shouted ‘James is out of the garden!‘. I didn’t hesitate. I dropped everything and ran out of the door like a mad woman. Only to find that my son was up by the main road some 100m away. We had workman in a few days beforehand and they had removed a panel of fencing. This obviously had not been fixed back properly and had come loose. My son was right by the main road. A woman had stopped in her car and was talking to him, asking him where he was going – his response ‘the sweet shop‘. It doesn’t bare thinking about what could have happened if it had not been for that voice in my head. Thank you Clairaudience! Many people have had experiences like this but have not recognised it.
Smell
Many people have had psychic experiences using the sense of smell. Spirit seem to find it a good way to contact us. For example my brother passed into spirit 9 years ago. But I know he is still with me because I smell him. He used one particular aftershave – which no one else in the household uses. I can be washing up, in the garden, infact be doing anything and all of a sudden I will get a very strong smell of my brothers aftershave. You cannot even purchase this particular scent anymore!
People have experienced a smell of their deceased father’s cigar – when no one in the household smokes; or a mother’s favorite perfume.
Touch
You are most likely to experience psychic use of your sense of touch (this feels like a physical touch) if a spirit has come close to you. You can also feel psychic touch when performing psychic healing. A great many people perform psychic healing without knowing what they are doing.
A regular experience I have with touch is when I am meditating. I will be laying down in a lovely relaxed state when I feel slight pressure on the side of my face – just like someone laying a hand on my face. Or stroking my hair. It is a pleasant reassuring feeling.
A healing experience many people have is this: Your child falls and hurts themselves, whether it is a grazed knee or bumped head. Most parents naturally place their hand over the injured area and hold it there for a few moments. Whilst doing this you may experience your hand getting warmer. When I have done this in the past my children have said ‘Mummy, it feels all tingly!’. This is a natural, instinctive way to perform psychic healing.
Taste
Some psychics say that they experience extremes of taste during their work. I have not yet had that type of experience but that does not mean that it hasn’t happened to you.
Mind – Psychic sense
For your Mind to start developing you really need to work on your other five. Make them more aware of the more gentle everyday situations. You can work these 5 senses so that no sensation from either Taste, Smell, Touch, Hearing or Seeing, will escape your attention. Remember that your ‘Mind’ utilises all of your other senses, and well as using it’s own mental abilitites. They all have to be fine tuned to achieve their full potential.
So if you want more psychic experiences then get tuning those senses. A good way to start would be to subscribe to our ‘Develop Your Psychic Abilities E-Course‘ it’s Free. You will find the form on the right hand side of the page.




A good way to help develop the psychic mind is to read up on the theory of the process behind the development of a psychic. The more apiring psychics gain understanding in various aspects of the psychic world from getting accurate psychic readings to psychic prediction, the closer they get to become effective and skilled psychics.
Anyone can develop their own intuitive abilities using their senses, which was beautifully described above, and tapping into that spiritual connection from within. We were all born with these abilities but somewhere down the road we have placed blockages and barriers from them enhancing. They can be expanded upon now and you can create all of this wonderful added freedom in your life by tapping into these psychic intuitive abilities!
