Phychics put it this way:

*So, what exactly does being psychic mean, what are psychic abilities?

To me being psychic means being able to tap into your inner power, to be able to tap into the universal source which runs through us all.

*Psychic is an umbrella term used to describe a person with paranormalabilities.

*Psychic ability is simply the ability to communicate with weaves of energy that are above the ‘normal’ level of physical reality. Reading future events, past events, spiritual knowledge and channeling the ‘dead’ are symptoms of connecting to specific weaves of energy. The term ‘psychic’ has become an umbrella term to encompass many skills and abilities that are considered paranormal or metaphysical. To expand on this all of these skills can really be classed under ‘communication.’

*Psychics have extraordinary mental powers. They have a sixth sense or ESP (extra sensory perception) that enables them to look into the lives of people and predict future events. Derived from the Greek word psychiokos or psyche, which means soul or that which is mental....

*Literally, the word psychic is connected to ESP, or extrasensory perception.

Types of Psychics

People with psychic abilities can see something that is not in their presence, while others can get a feeling or impression of something that cannot be seen literally. Psychics can be clairvoyants, palm readers or mediums. Psychics called mediums can communicate with people who have passed on in death. They are in fact the contact or establish contact between a family member or friend and the person who is believed to be in the spirit world.

Mediums may have a number of skills, though most have specialties. Most mediums work by seeing pictures in their mind. This image allows them to describe a person in spirit and is known as clairvoyance or “clear seeing.” Mediums use their psychic vision, either within the mind or objectively, as if the spirit were present in person. Clairaudience or clear hearing, where the medium hears the spirit either subjectively or objectively, is also popular amongst mediums. Spirit communicators are able to send feelings, known as clairsentience, to the medium.

This is particularly useful if they are trying to indicate what ailment caused them to pass over. They may for example, send a mild pain to the heart of the medium. The medium would then be able to tell the client how their loved one died.

There are many different kinds and levels of psychic ability. Some of these forms include clairvoyance, channeling, Intuitive, clairaudience, clairsentience, divination, ESP , hiero, precognition, prophesy , psychometry, psychokinesis, remote viewing , telepathy, trans-medium channeling and many more. There are even psychics who can communicate with animals. A clairsentient also called an empathic feels a message.

Someone who is clairsentient can sense feelings and emotions in people, places, or things and something that could be in the past, present, or future through a sense of feeling. Clairvoyance or extrasensory perception. Someone who is clairvoyant can have knowledge or a sense of something without the five senses. Someone who has precognition will know something that will happen in the future.

A clairaudient hears a message. Some psychics use clairaudience, hearing or perceiving sounds which are not normally audible.

There are people who possess the ability to move objects with their minds, and this ability is called psychokinetic power. Maybe they can throw a ball without touching it or flip a light switch from across the room: this is a psychokinetic psychic. Another kind of physical intuition or ESP is a medical intuitive; the medical intuitive can tell what parts of the body are in distress and focuses on medical issues in people.

Tools used by psychics include crystals, runes, tarot cards and pendulums.

In general psychics can interpret problems in a person's life and offer solutions involving health, wealth, relationships, love and career by connecting or becoming a medium between the person and a higher power. They can interpret dreams, understand inner disturbances and even heal. There have been instances where the police department has used psychics to find someone or to solve a crime.
