Well I am here to tell you that "of course you are"!  Everyone has gifts of intuition, second thought, precognition etc.  We are all blessed with knowing but the key to all of this is....you have to train yourself to listen and be open.

The more you "tune in" and listen to your "gut level" feelings the more entuned and more creative you will become.  You really have to practice trusting your intuition.  Pay attention to the way your subconscious mind talks to you.  Practice recording your dreams and analyzing the symbols in your dreams.  The spirit will use many means to communicate with you.

Communication can come in many forms such as:

Vision - you may by concentrating find you have the unique ability to visualize things from a distance....remote viewing.

Hearing - If you hear sounds in one ear particularly and you hear voices it does not necessarily mean you are going bonkers for it may be spirit communicating with you and that is known as clairaudience.  This might be a little scary for some and they hesitate to tell others for fear of appearing a little crazy!

Touch - this is an ability that some find they have by accident.  When touching an object you may pick up its particular vibrations and understand it's particular history.  This is known as psychometry.  It is a skill that is not talked about as much as clairvoyance and clairaudient but it is a unique gift and some find they have it.  I have known some who just seem to develop the gift overnight or it seems like that and this can be unnerving as you can pick up things that are unpleasant about any article such as a ring, stone, personal possesions etc.

Smell - this is an ability that can be coupled with clairvoyance and clairaudience.  If you are communicating with entities from the other side, smell is often an indicator or validation of the spirit you are connecting with.  Some may smell a particular aroma that they know is associated with their loved one that has passed yet they may not be able to see them.  This is very common and many disregard it as their imagination.  Visitations from the Mother of God are most always accompanied by the smell of roses.  I can always tell when my daughter is visiting me before I see her for the smell of gardenias is always present around her.  Smell is a very useful skill and gift.

Taste - this is a skill that is far less common than any of the other methods, but some psychic's especially mediums can get a taste in their mouths that identify certain spirit.  Those psychics who are synethetes for example sometimes combine a sense of smell with taste or are multi sensored.  They will hear a name and taste strawberries for example.  If they hear a word it can triggers tastes and sometimes it is unpleasant.

There are many ways that you can practice using intuition and the natural skills that you possess.

You can use you intuition when trying to find a parking place for example.  Send your thoughts outward and ask the Universe to guide you to a parking place close by and just listen and allow your thoughts to take you there.

When your telephone rings try to identify who is calling before you answer it.

The trick is to listen and get feedback.  The more you practice the more you can praise the Universe for helping you.  Take notice if you frequently don't heed that little voice in your head that is telling you not to proceed.  Note when that happens and when you feel you should of listened.

Listen to the feedback from your body.  What is it telling you?  Have you ever met someone and from the beginning you just know that this person is not someone you want to be friends with.  Have you ever felt the hair on your arms rise when you are in an area that is unfamiliar to you?  Take heed for that is your spirit talking to you.

One morning I was driving my children to school on back country roads and it was a cold frosty morning.  We were late as usual and were in a hurry so I was driving a little faster than usual.  I heard a voice loud and distinct telling me to pull over to the side RIGHT NOW!  It was firm and no nonsense.   I am used to listening to my guides so I did what I was told.  I pulled over and waited for a few minutes.  My kids were screaming "we are going to be late for school" and I just sat there and then I moved forward again but very cautiously.  When I begin to crest a small hill I saw that there were three cars smashed together and there was a terrible accident in front of us.  We were the first on the scene.  If we had kept proceeding to the top of the hill at the speed I had been traveling we would of been in the middle of the pileup at the four corners.  Many times I have failed to heed messages also and I most often regret not listening.

You have to work on your hang ups also.  Most people are blocked from the spirit realm because they have emotional baggage holding them back.  They think the voices they might hear are demonic for example or their spiritual background in organized religion prevents them from trusting their own intuition.  If you have issues like that you may find the information you received may be a little distorted.  You need to tackle your own belief system and your fears so you can get a good clear picture.

The more you trust yourself and your inner knowing the more information you will receive.  It is as if the spirit realm is just waiting for you to be receptive and then they will let you know what you need to know.  The more you listen and trust the more you will receive.

As you become more and more tuned in you will find yourself wanting to pass the information on to other people and this is where you must follow some rules.  It is never right to start "reading" another person without permission.  I see spirits around others all the time but I never let others know unless they ask me to tell them.  This is just psychic manners and basic integrity.  Be ethical and considerate for many do not want to know and you must respect that.

If you find yourself doubting what you are hearing and what you are feeling it is usually because you are letting fear rule your mind.  The fact that you are questioning what you are hearing and seeing is an indication that you are not going crazy and just are trying to figure out what is going on.

You do not have to have an issue because you begin to hear voices but you MUST question what the voices are telling you.  If the comments are destructive, negative, violent then you might be having problems with your brain and it would be a good idea to get a medical checkup.  Many problems in the brain can begin with hearing voices in your head such as a schizophrenic disorder but these thoughts are usually violent thoughts, disruptive and do not cease when you ask them to go away.

It is wonderful during meditation to concentrate on a specific object like a crystal ball, a rose or an intricate piece of jewelry and just let you mind explore each and every detail of the object shutting all else out and just focusing on the object before you.  This excercise will open your subconscious and let it explore and give you information you did not always know that you had.  I find this a useful meditation when I am extremely stressed.  I will hold my obsidian sphere and just gaze into it and concentrate totally on the sphere and its color changes and glints etc and soon visions appear that show me changes that are coming for me.  I love to use scrying to obtain information.  You can use a crystal or a large stone, a bowl of water in a crystal bowl or a black mirror to scry.  There are special mirrors you can purchase to do this but I prefer the small crystal balls that I have to meditate with.

There are many ways to develop your psychic skills and all are useful.  Even using the Tarot Cards, Angel Cards etc will open you to spirit and let more information flow through you.  I very seldom use any cards but some are powerful and I know when I pick them up that they have the ability to speak to me.

The minute I purchased the Lakota Sweat Lodge cards and I took them out of the box I felt the connection to my ancestors and over time when I do take them out for others they sing to me of old ways and the great spirits.  I truly love those cards and the feelings they bring to me.

Some will develop an affinity for certain Tarot Decks and one new deck that I love is the Gilded Tarot.  I collect tarot cards because I love the artwork and this deck sings to me also.

I want you to explore and savor the learning process for it is a joyful thing to do when you raise your consciousness and let it soar.  We are divine pieces of God and we are evolving.  The great shift is upon us and many will be able to hear and see much more easily in the years to come.  Open your heart and senses and let your intuition guide you.
