I Don't Like the Word Psychic.
I don't particularly like the word psychic--or empath.
Psychic 'phenomenon' is often associated with 'out there' and sometimes weird stuff. Sometimes, too much for my logical left brain to process. Yet, it still happens.
There are senses beyond the five that deliver information which cannot be explained by the first five senses.
CLUTTERED AND CAN'T SEE
Most often, we live in a cluttered world. Negative thoughts can clutter our mind, processed food fills our body with artificial substances, general clutter can fill our homes, and pollution fills the air, land, and sea in ways we can't always see.
Furthermore, our busy days distract us. We might not permit time to see how cluttered we—or our world—really are. Intuition, therefore, gets clouded or all together closed. We can't see, hear, or know information that might help us.
It can seem as if many are looking for quick fix answers and may be drawn to the self proclaimed gurus who promise to teach you to manifest anything you want— or the self- proclaimed psychics are willing to give quick fix answers.
Given the increase in ‘1 800 dial a psychic’ hotlines or seemingly overnight self-help gurus promising to teach you to ‘manifest anything you want’…I remain more skeptical than ever.
Leaving our futures to be 'predicted' by a psychic gives too much to another person who may or may not interpret what they perceive clearly and accurately. It's not to say they can't see into things or see potential forecasts--it's just that it lends too much of one's life to the perception and interpretation of information from another.
My forewarning: be extremely discretionary in choosing who you follow and where you get your information. .

"Think of a psychic like a radio. If the radio is well made and full of clean, positive energy, the sound quality is going to come through perfectly. But if the radio is old, worn and beaten, the sound quality is going to be poor, muffled and even confusing to understand."
CLEAR AND CAN SEE
Yet, there are gifted psychics who 'see' beyond the surface and and perceive information beyond that can't be explained.
Rather than predicting the future, it can be more helpful to tune into the present. The present energy surrounding a situation or person can reveal a lot. An intuitive look into present circumstances can help predict future paths based on choices made today.
It's not as much predicting the future as it is seeing into the present.
Seeing, sensing the subtle, sometimes strong energy in and/or around a person, or place and seeing it clearly. Gifted intuitives do have the ability to do this. Again, choose carefully. And be willing to do the work that cones with it.
A SKILL SET TO DEVELOP
Intuition perhaps may be a better word. It’s a way to tune in to what we might need to hear.
It's a skill set that can be developed, but most important is to clear one's own personal space and world. Clear the thoughts that are harmful, food that is artificial, emotions that are hurtful, environments that are less than optimal. Health and Mindfulness should be at the forefront of what we do. Unfortunately, it's often the least of what we do.
We can live in a surface world if we allow ourselves to stay there. Beyond the surface, though, there is so much more to see.
TOWARDS A FUTURE WITH INTUTION AND EXPANDED PERCEPTION?
We're already beginning to see more of these topics enter into mainstream media, culture, and every day awareness.
The CIA has been studying psychic phenomena for years. The U.S. Military has a research program on premonition and intuition. TIME: 'The U.S. Military Believes Humans Have a Sixth Sense'.
Mystery and misunderstanding may have clouded this subject matter for years. However, as more and more people have their own experiences from increased coincidences (such as thinking of someone you haven't talked to in years, then all of a sudden you hear from or run into them), to sensing energy to seeing or even 'hearing' from a loved one who has crossed over, it won't be as much as mystery as it will be a reality.
"We're moving from the Age of Information to the Age of Intuition," explains Penney Peirce.
From Mindfulness and Meditation to Intuition and 'Sixth Sense'...Is it our next Common Sense? It should be.
