Developing Your Psychic Ability

A Step-by-Step Guide

Tuning into your psychic ability can be a transformative experience, but it’s essential to approach it with patience and perseverance.    Don’t expect instant miracles—it’s a journey that takes time, especially if you're just starting to awaken to your intuitive powers. It may  come more naturally for those already familiar with their psychic energy, but the process still requires dedication.

Preparing Your Mind, Body, and Space

Psychic development is similar to training for a marathon. You wouldn’t wake up one morning and decide to run 50 km without prior preparation.


Psychic work is no different. You need to condition your body and mind and create a conducive environment. Stay clear of distractions, such as alcohol or drugs, and nurture your physical and mental well-being before diving into psychic practices.



I always prepare myself before teaching my Psychic Development classes with about an hour of meditation. This clears my mind from the day’s events and allows me to focus on my upcoming session. Preparing the space is equally important. I cleanse the room with salt, lavender, sandalwood, and amethyst.


This helps remove negative energy, creating a peaceful, focused space for my students and myself.

Once your mind and environment are ready, you can begin following these steps to enhance your psychic abilities.

12 Steps to Develop Your Psychic Ability

Step 1: Create a Distraction-Free Zone
Ensure you are alone and won’t be disturbed. Turn off your phone, and put a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door.

Step 2: Be Patient
Don’t rush the process. It may take several attempts before seeing or feeling anything, so give yourself time.

Step 3: Never Seek Personal Gain
Psychic ability should never be used for selfish purposes. It is a gift meant to help others.

Step 4: Embrace Reciprocity
As you develop your ability, remember to give in return. The energy exchange is a vital part of psychic work.


Step 5: Cleanse Your Space
Before you begin, cleanse your environment by lighting a white or mauve candle and two
sandalwood incense sticks. Let them burn for at least an hour to purify the space.

Step 6: Gaze Into a Mirror
Sit in front of a mirror and patiently observe yourself. Over time, you may notice your features change as your spirit guide takes over your reflection.

Step 7: Practice in Small Doses
Don’t try this for hours on end. Fifteen-minute sessions are enough. It may take months to achieve the desired results, so be patient.

Step 8: Communicate with Your Guide
Once you’ve reached the stage where you can sense your spirit guide, ask them simple questions. This will build a foundation of trust and understanding.

Step 9: Express Gratitude
Always thank your guide, even if you don’t receive an answer immediately.

Step 10: Keep a Record
Document your experiences. Sometimes, answers may come later or to questions you hadn’t yet asked.

Step 11: Properly Close the Session
When finished, snuff out your candle (don’t blow it out), and let the incense burn out naturally.

Step 12: Reflect and Absorb
After your session, take at least 25 minutes to meditate or relax. This helps you internalise the experience and gain further clarity.

Cleansing After a Session

Once you’ve finished, cleanse the space again. This is particularly important if you’ve been practising in your home. I liken it to standing next to someone with foul body odour—while you may not say anything at the moment, you’re quick to grab the air freshener as soon as they leave!

Remember: It Takes Time

The most important thing to remember is that developing your psychic abilities takes time. It’s not like turning on a tap and having water instantly flow out. With consistent practice, it will become easier and more natural. So, don’t give up! And if you have any questions, feel free to contact me. There’s no such thing as a silly question.
