The word psychic means ‘of or relating to soul, spirit or mind’. Therefore, psychic powers are the powers of the mind or the spirit. So how do psychics come into possession of these powers and what are these powers?

To answer these questions, you have to first understand that there is a world that exists beyond what we can recognize by the five senses. We are all familiar with the terms ‘sixth sense’ and ‘intuition’.  It generally happens that when we find ourselves under extraordinary or extreme circumstances or when our very survival is under threat, we act by either ‘intuition’ or messages we receive through our ‘sixth sense.’ Once the circumstances are normal, these doors close and some of us actually become sceptical of these powers. So going by this, it is clear that special powers do exist that are beyond the realms of science.

Psychics are people who have been able to harness these powers through years of practice. Over the years, they have been able to channelize their energies to reach a higher state of consciousness where they are able to see beyond what is visible to the normal eye. This is what is known as psychic powers – the power to see beyond what can be experienced by the five senses. Real psychics use these powers to help the people who have lost their path and are seeking spiritual salvation to get their life back on track.

Some of the best known psychic powers are:

Intuition
Intuition is a psychic power that enables a person to perceive the truth without using the path of the mind. You can’t explain why but you know. According to Alexis Carrel, French surgeon, biologist and Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine, “They know without reasoning or analysis, what they need to know.”

Clairvoyance
The second important psychic power is clairvoyance. It is a French word which is composed of two words, ‘clair’ and ‘voyance’, which mean seeing clearly. Clairvoyance is an extension of intuition. The psychic can vividly see the occurrence taking place as if before his (mental) eyes.

Real psychics can see clearly through the veil of time and space—the present, past and future. They can trace the origin of an inscrutable phenomenon to the past incarnation of a person and can predict the future with their telepathic vision. The two natural corollaries of clairvoyance are clairaudience and clairsentience.

Telepathy
The psychic power of telepathy has been proved scientifically and is, therefore, gaining increasing recognition. This power enables the psychic to read the mind of people without them being present in front of them.
