Harnessing The Power Within You

Fascinated by their power? If you’ve ever felt there was something within you that could be identified with psychic mediums, or if you have abilities that you would like to improve, here are three ways to harness the power within you.

Doing this may in no way make you famous but could get you on the path to connecting more and more people and facilitating discussions with their loved ones.

Get a Sense of Your Aptitude

First of all, be familiar with the different types of abilities that could be within you: psychic, medium, clairvoyance. Not all of these abilities are the same. Determine what’s different about them.
We all have some level of psychic ability; it’s called intuition. Beyond that, you will need to ask yourself specific questions to know more about your abilities:
- Do you naturally see and hear things that other people don’t?
- Are you a psychic, medium, clairvoyant, or a combination of some or all?
- Have you never had a paranormal experience, but want to? If so, you may be able to work on these skills to improve on the skills you already have.
To know if you have the capacity to become a psychic medium, read experiences by other psychic mediums, watch their television shows, and talk to one, if possible, to see if you see yourself in any of their accounts.

Develop Your Abilities

It may be that you feel a strong sense of hidden power that you’ve yet to fully use. In fact, you’ve barely scratched the surface with it. Well, it’s time to muddy the waters and start developing your abilities. Here are some tips to help you along:

Don’t dismiss the urges to want to do more with your abilities.
Acknowledge that it’s real.
Spend quality time by yourself daily to receive energy and communications from external sources.
Write what happens, every time, to become familiar with the process involved.
Connect with other mediums who are already in circle groups. When you’re comfortable enough with the process, start your own circle and invite others to join.
Seek books and workshops to enhance your knowledge.

Maybe you already know the power is within you, but you have yet to use it. Maybe you’re nervous and just don’t know what to do. Using the steps to develop your abilities is always a great place to start. If that’s not necessary and you’re comfortable but just have not felt the need to move forward but want to, this is for you:

Seek out the needs of your family and loved ones. If you see someone in distress or who needs closure from the loss of a loved one, offer your abilities to facilitate communication with the spirit world.
As evident from the many famous psychic mediums featured in this article, it is possible to have a successful career using your abilities. Build a website, convert a room to a home/office, or rent some space and get to work.

Final Thoughts

The life of a famous psychic medium is not for the faint of heart. While it may seem glamorous to have all eyes on you and have the world be enchanted with your skills and abilities, psychic mediums don’t always have it easy.

Many of the famous psychic mediums above had to overcome scrutiny by many. Being followed by many is not always a good thing. Some follow you to smear your name and diminish your abilities by calling you fraudulent.

The truth is, not everyone will believe in your abilities and will make it their life mission to degrade what you stand for. Should you choose to pursue and live out your skills and abilities it could come with a price.

Understand that this skill is not for everyone and nothing to be forced upon others. Also understand that very few psychic mediums make it to fame. So, pursue and develop what’s within you because it’s meant for you, not because you want to be the next famous psychic medium with your own television show.

Those who receive the energies you’re gifted to possess will gain the advantage of your skills and that is the biggest reward.
