Let me do an introduction on the various types of Psychic Abilities. One of the most common psychic abilities that exist in majority of human population is Telepathy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Telepathy
Telepathy is the ability to read thoughts, usually surface thoughts. Telepathy is fairly common to some degree. The most common type is between close family or friends and manifests as answering questions before they are asked, knowing when a family member is thinking of you, or thinking about them and they call. Slightly less common is the ability to read the surface thoughts of strangers. Even less common is being able to read the deep or subconscious thoughts of people, friends, family or anyone else. It is not, however, completely unknown. If you have the disconcerting habit of knowing everything about a person when you meet them, you are at least a highly gifted telepath. In crowds this may manifest as "white noise" or constant buzzing in the ears (brain), accompanied by a feeling of pressure on the brain. This is due to the constant noise of all of the thoughts of others that one is unable to block. Many highly gifted telepaths are unable to live in highly populated areas, and an apartment complex is a nightmare. They are also prone to intense headaches. This gift may or may not be related to proximity. For strangers, it is usual that the person must be close by (though not always the case). Family seems to be instantly accessible, due to the non-local nature of the gift, speed of light laws do not apply. Strong thought, as in a disaster or violent attack, may be picked up without prior knowledge of the person at all, if they are in the vicinity or there are enough people concentrating on mentally screaming at the top of their lungs. This gift also manifests more strongly if one really desires something (a strong focus of will or emotion). To block out the noise, shielding must be practiced constantly, and the person should put up permanent shields around their home. To develop this gift, one should focus on an individual and relax, allowing whatever impressions one is receiving to come through. Write them down. This is best developed with close friends or family. Telepathy can manifest in three ways. A sending telepath can not "hear" the thoughts of others, but instead broadcasts his/her own thoughts to anyone even remotely sensitive. A sending telepath can influence others, without being aware of it, by strongly desiring something. A danger is that one who is a sending telepath, without any of the other gifts, has a tendency to be self-centered and demanding, and petulant when they donÂ’t get their way. A receiving telepath can "hear" but canÂ’t send, others donÂ’t pick up their thoughts. This person might believe the voices, thoughts, or impressions of ideas to be internally generated, and might doubt his/her sanity. As is often the case, the thoughts are incongruous, and seem to come from nowhere, but the individual can not distinguish the internal thought from the external. Most common is one who can both send and receive, and the response is usually enough to convince the person that s/he is not crazy, though the gift might be hidden out of a fear of being unusual, especially if the personÂ’s church mistakenly equates the gifts with possession. The "voices" or impressions gathered by the telepath are relaying accurate, verifiable information based on the consensual hallucination we call reality. Ask. The information is usually pretty mundane, and the telepath, upon thinking about it, can learn to tell that the thought did not originate in his/her own brain (for example: "I need to remember the ice cream" when the individual is allergic to ice cream and is talking to someone on his way to the store.) If one is hearing voices counseling them to murder or warning that the toaster is influencing our thoughts by controlling the television, then some mental health care is definitely in order. -
Great to see you back in action Oceanos Dar~~~....
This topic has been most enlightening. Thanks! -
Actually some abilities are inborn while a few can be attained throught certain practices. These exercises can enhance the abilities of those who are blessed with these gifts while developing some abilities in those who does them. One of the most common & effective form of practice is "Meditation". Below is the brief introduction of one such kind of practice which is simple for anyone to try it out!Originally posted by fish&chipz:hmm..interesting

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“DEVELOPING YOUR PSYCHIC ABILITIES"
Practice
Like a difficult sport or musical instrument, ESP ability requires diligent practice. Unlike sports or music, however, your progress can be hard to measure because of the elusive nature of psychic phenomena (it's difficult to know how or when it's going to work). So the frustration level can be high, but the key to success is to not give up. (You should know going in, too, that there are no guarantees of success when it comes to trying to develop ESP; yet if you don't try, you're guaranteed not to get anywhere.)
"Set aside some time to practice. Calm the mind, play gentle, soothing music and try to relax, recommends. "Allow your thoughts to wander. Sometimes it helps to picture a summer scene, a field or meadow with the sun shining. It's all about getting used to information coming to you from a different source. The more you practice, the easier it becomes. Try pausing before you do something.
For example, when the phone rings, pause a few seconds before answering. Can you tell who it is? Try it when someone knocks at your front door. Try it at work. Can you tell when someone is happy, sad or preoccupied?" -
if a person can sense some future events that is going to happen and it really does but it is involuntary... can it be train to be voluntary???... din know if i ask correctly...

Well this kind of ability is know as Clairvoyancy! It usually occurs at irregular pace, unpredictable & involuntary most of the time. However it is possible to control it if you have high Psychic Energy, it is actually a very powerful gift sought by many but only few possess & able to harness it! Clairvoyant often have visions of past or future events or happenings, some are vague while some are crystal clear, they also have visions through different ways like employing Water scrying, trance or simply through Minded Eye etc. I will do a brief introduction on this ability in the later parts of my thread. Hope these information answer your queries.Originally posted by windjammer:if a person can sense some future events that is going to happen and it really does but it is involuntary... can it be train to be voluntary???... din know if i ask correctly...

The following is a brief introduction on Empathy, an ability that a minority of human population possess! Some Empathic psychic can also communicate with Plants & Animals, what a wonderful gift!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Empathy
Empathy is similar to Telepathy but revolves around emotions instead of thoughts. Empathic ability can also manifest in sending, receiving, or both. A sending empath may not have much sense of what others feel, because the can usually change an unpleasant response into a more favorable one. The receiving empath is in danger of being swamped by the feelings of others, and may not know whether the feeling is internally or externally generated. To be an empath is to be able to sense what others are feeling, and influence what others are feeling is the most common manifestation. This may or may not occur along with telepathy. If one is an empath, feelings and emotional atmosphere play a strong part in every aspect of oneÂ’s life. Crowds are almost unbearable. The individual may feel angry/depressed/elated/in love/enraged in a matter of a few moments as the gift ranges out and picks up whatever is there. A feeling of being on a roller coaster, and of smothering in a sea of feelings may accompany this. On the other hand, the person seems to gravitate to the individual in the room who needs help dealing with an emotional problem. An empath makes an excellent counselor and is usually the one to whom friends bring their problems because "s/he really understands."
Dianna Troi on Star Trek NG is an empath, and they have done their homework. A trained empath responds like Counselor Troi (Fiction? Another example of science fiction masking science fact.)
Again, this gift may or may not be related to proximity, and often family members and close friends may be "sensed" no matter how distant they are. -
The following is a brief introduction on Psychometry! This Gift is usually combined with one or more of the "Clairvoyance" Gifts. Police psychics are usually psychometrists, a great help in solving mysteries.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Psychometry
Psychometry is the ability to pick up images, histories, and impressions from objects and places, by holding an abject, like a sweater or a ring, one Sees or senses information about the owner or most frequent user of the object. -
more more more.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tell us MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
The following is a brief introduction on Clairvoyance! This Gift is usually associated with a trance or Seance. Seeing & knowing too much may not be a good thing as One may see his/her Destiny but when he/she attempt to change it, the Natural Cycle might be upset & Adverse effects may occur as results. Isn't it better for Nature to run its course. Fate decrees all Things or Events, We must leave all to the Divine Plan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Clairvoyance ( clear seeing )
The person can See visions of things occurring in the present both on this plane and on the etheric. Combined with other Gifts, the person may experience foggy or clear "movies" of things that have happened in the past or will happen in the future. This can often occur in dreams. In some Clairvoyant, Trance or Trance like state like Seance may occur during a vision! To control trance, vigorous movements, splashing cold water on face or drinking it, or some type of physical activity is recommended. It is NOT good to trance while driving or operating machinery. Some Clairvoyants do use Scrying to see things or events with tools like Candle, Crystal Ball, Mirror or Bowl of Fluid! This Gift, if one has it in full measure, can be disconcerting and there is very little, other than the above, that one can do to control it. -
