Have you ever had a psychic vision or dream, deja vu, or even healed someone with prayers or by directing positive energy toward them?
You might have well-developed psychic gifts you use all the time without knowing it—many people do!
Today, we will be talking about 11 different types of psychic abilities and how people use them for readings, healing, and even for solving crimes and spying.
Scientists (and militaries) are studying some of these gifts and abilities.
They want to find out if they work, how these abilities work, and how they can use them for their benefit.
Unfortunately, psychic powers were misunderstood—or even labeled as evil—for a really long time.
Nowadays, regular people are more open to exploring their psychic abilities.
Scientists and hospitals started studying them more intensely.
They want to gain insight and facts about what happens in the brain and body when people use their psychic abilities and send and receive remote healing and messages.
Many of the psychic abilities we are going to talk about today are related to each other.
For example, automatic writing fits in with claircognizance; it is a way of receiving and communicating messages that come through.
Even mediumship involves claircognizance and clairaudience. Overlap is quite common when you start looking at psychic abilities.
11 Types of Psychic Abilities
Telepathy
Have you ever been thinking about a friend or loved one and then BING! —you get a message or call from that person?
Your telepathic ability was alerting you to your friend’s intention to call you.
Telepathy is common for humans.
Mothers (especially) and fathers instinctively know when their children need them; friends get the urge to reach out at precisely the right moment.
People can even send or receive physical sensations and emotions through telepathic means.
My grandfather, who was stationed in Europe during WWII, felt the labor pains my grandmother was having when she gave birth to their child—back in the States and thousands of miles away.
This might be a bit more clairsentient than telepathic.
Telepathy can be linked to claircognizance and clairsentience—we’ll talk about both topics later in this article.
Some people even experience telepathic dreams, in which they interact and receive information from friends and loved ones when they are sleeping.
When they wake up, they either hear from that person that day or find out that what they were dreaming about actually happened in real life.

Claircognizance
If you are claircognizant, you just know things without having any reason to know. Information just pops into your head right when you need it.
This information often contains specific details, as well.
You might get messages about people you interact with or even know things about people you just don’t want to know.
Claircognizance also manifests in different ways.
For example, you might get details about people and events when you hold an object that belonged to them (a.k.a. psychometry).

Automatic Writing
Do you zone out while writing and end up with some pretty on-point messages in your journal?
You might be channeling messages from your spirit guides or ancestors when you write.
Automatic writing is like channeling spirit through your writing.
Some people purposefully connect to their Higher Consciousness before sitting down for a writing session.
Others just go from conscious writing to automatic writing without realizing it.
Tip: If you’d like to strengthen this psychic ability, set the intention to connect with your spirit guides while writing.
You might even make up a prayer or chant to get you started.
Get your journal out, set a timer for 10-15 minutes, and start writing whatever comes up for you. Try not to control what comes up.
Just allow yourself to write.
Make sure to add a date to your automatic writing session pages, so you can look back and note any “hits” in your writing.
Mediumship or Channeling
Like automatic writing, messages picked up by Mediums can come from different entities, spirit guides, angels. Mediums can even deliver messages from friends and loved ones who have died.
Mediums usually speak the messages they receive, though.
Mediums need to set good boundaries with the spirit world; otherwise, spirits might try to connect with them at all times of the day and night.
If you are experiencing this, simply let the spirits who want to connect with you know you will only receive messages between 10 am and 6 pm.
