In this piece, Thomas John highlights a few considerations to keep in mind when determining what you can and should ask during a psychic reading.

Whether you are receiving your first psychic reading or you are a seasoned veteran of the practice, knowing what kinds of questions you can (and should) ask during your reading can be as challenging as it is important. Though there are misconceptions about psychic readings thanks to the media, you should be aware that, most of the time, questions are welcome; after all, they can help you achieve clarity and also help facilitate a psychic’s ability to provide more concrete information.

Here, psychic medium Thomas John discusses what automatic writing is and how individuals can practice it.

As we have discussed in previous posts, there are many ways to develop your psychic abilities. One of the most common practices is that of meditation, but another common and effective method is automatic writing. This practice will likely not come intuitively to most individuals, but learning how to conduct it and practicing it on a regular basis can lead to incredible results.

Warren, Michigan has the strictest laws for psychic mediums in the USA. They must be fingerprinted, pay for an annual license, and pay for a police background check.

PSA: When receiving readings from readers…

Be courteous. It takes a lot of energy to read.

Please don’t keep asking for more and more details. If they’ve sent you a reading, that’s what they gathered from your energy. Don’t keep pushing.

If it’s a paid reading, please don’t keep asking for more and more cards without paying for them. It’s not fair to the reader.

If someone gives you dates and events that are going to happen, and a little insight, don’t ask for full overviews of the entire dates. Some things the universe don’t want you to know yet because it’s apart of your journey.

Don’t keep asking the same questions over and over. If you ask someone if you and x will end up together, and they tell you about a successful outcome, don’t continue to keep asking about your love future. Your path changes all the time but asking the same thing over and over without changing anything in your life will just result in the same outcome. Same goes with topics.

Overall, be kind, courteous. As a reader and as a friend of many readers, I’ve seen so many of these things happen to me and them, and remember - if someone’s reading you for your energy, please be patient and understanding and accept what you get. You’re not meant to know everything yet, you’re meant to be guided.

Blessed be.

Smalls Ways to Develop Intuition

Everyday tips and tricks to develop your Claircognizance and Clairsentience. 

Guess. Take a guess at every chance you can during the day. Play a guessing game with yourself constantly throughout the day. 

Guess with numbers. Numbers are a great tool of the universe. They are more powerful than you might think. And they are a great way to establish a connection between yourself and guides and angels. So play with it. Play number guessing games. Guess what time it is. Guess how many street signs you will drive by today. It may seem impossible at first, but the more you play with it, the more you’ll find that you get closer and closer to the actual correct number each time. 

Guess with food. I know this one sounds weird, but hear me out. I like to consider myself a kitchen witch, but it’s mostly just a clear-knowing and clear-feeling I get when I’m working with food. I think some of the most amazing chefs are very psychic and in tune with the energies of the food they make. So you can practice this as well, even on a smaller scale. Pop your food in the microwave, take a step back, maybe do something else, and then guess when the food will be ready. I’ve actually very proudly got this down to 1 second left on the microwave. 😄

Guess with words. My favorite way to do this is to finish people’s sentences. Guess what someone is going to say. You don’t have to physically try to finish their sentences, (that may get annoying) but you can do it in your head. Also guess answers to questions that you hear people ask. This is a great way to quickly see if you were right or not. For example, if you’re out and about and you hear two people talking, one asks the other “Hey how did you do on that assignment?”, before the other person answers, take a guess. Then see how correct you were. 

Guess with time. This is similar to guessing with numbers, but specifically guessing with time. Time is a very human thing, so let’s see if we can use it to our advantage! Or…use it to strengthen our intuition. Invite someone over, and guess what time they’ll show up. Guess what time the mailman will deliver your packages. Guess what time you will finish all your work at. Guess what time you will wake up at. Guess what time you’ll receive a phone call you’ve been waiting for at.  

There are tons of other small everyday ways to develop your intuition, but these are just a few fun ways I like to play around with on a daily basis to develop a strong connection to my intuition. Also use your senses! You’ll be surprised how much you can smell something- and then make a prediction based on the smell. Or feel something, and then use your intuition to guess what you feel as well. Psychic abilities like clairsentience and claircognizance are simply your senses, but heightened. Play around with it! 😊💗🌺

Tips for Psychics

I have been struggling with my abilities since I can remember, and it’s only when I met my other half that my psychic abilities began to manifest themselves harshly and so intensely that it’s left me no choice but to adapt. Here’s what I learned:

1. Always write down your premonitions. This is extremely important because writing them down has helped me keep track of the ones that have come to fruition and how to navigate the present with the knowledge of the future.

2. Never ever ignore anything you see. Every single premonition and vision I’ve seen has significance in my life, so I urge other psychics to always pay attention to what you see. If you ignore the sight, you’ll end up suffering in the end.

3. You were given this for a reason, don’t resent it. I recently had a period of resentment for my gift because it’s extremely difficult to focus on the present when I’m constantly being given glimpses of my future. It’s okay to be frustrated, but you should never resent your gift. It’s a gift given to you for a reason, never forget that.

4. Remember your roots. I am someone who has always had very strong values that are rarely shaken by anything, but my gift sent me on a whirlwind of questioning myself. Don’t let this happen to you. Be sure of yourself and where you’ve come from. Whether you come from a good or bad background, that is what has shaped you. You must remember that because sometimes it’s hard to be sure of yourself.

5. Relinquish control. Celebrate the fact that you’ve been given such an incredible gift. Allow yourself to relinquish your usual control to this gift. Let it guide you and show you what it needs to show you. You can’t learn from it if you continue to attempt to control it.

6. Not everything will come true. I feel like this is a no-brainer, but I’m still gonna put this out there. Just because you see it, doesn’t mean it’s going to come true. Although I’ve found that some of mine (I call them Fixed Points) are unavoidable, not all of your premonitions and visions will come to fruition. Don’t ever feel trapped by your visions because they aren’t meant to make you feel such a way.

If you or anyone you know has the gift of Sight, feel free to send them or come by and talk to me. I’ve yet to meet an actual psychic that’s real in my life, so it would be incredibly refreshing to have someone to talk to who understands everything that comes with Sight.

Developing Your Super Senses 🔮

In particular Clairvoyance…

There are many different types of super senses and you can train yourself to learn most of them. Clairvoyance is also known as ‘Clear Vision or second sight’ which is seeing or knowing things before they happen based on what your clairvoyance has shown you, being able to read peoples present situations or their past events through these visions.

Signs you are Clairvoyant:

You have vivid dreams/ dreams that come true, or often lucid dream

You have a vivid imagination

You can visualize or daydream easily

You see flashes of twinkling lights, colours, symbols, shadows or images

You had imaginary friends as a child

You can see glowing light around people (aura)

Other types of super senses you may have (that I will not go into great detail on this post with) are:

Clairaudience: clear audio/hearing

Clairsentience: clear sensation/feeling

Clairscent: clear smelling

Clairtangency: clear touching

Clairgustance: clear tasting

Channel/Channeling: Being a mechanism or channeling from the etherial world.

Activities/ways to strengthen your Clairvoyance and supersenses:

KEEP A DREAM JOURNAL: If you are having vivid dreams you should be keeping a dream journal to learn how to lucid dream, which can later help in astral projection, dream journals also assist with clairvoyance because it is a part of remembering and strengthening your visual imaging, the most important part of developing clairvoyance.

CRYSTALS: Some crystals can aid in enhancing and developing clairvoyance. Third eye crystals are better at helping with this as your psychic vision comes from the third eye chakra. Great crystals for developing clairvoyance are: Magnesite, Labradorite, Lolite, Dumortierite, Lapis Luzuli, Azurite, Malachite, Amethyst. You can place any of these crystals under your pillow when you sleep, carry them with you throughout the day and meditate with them.

MEDITATION: meditation can help with almost anything, and is especially good for developing clairvoyance. You can meditate with your third eye chakra crystals to help open your third eye. You can meditate on focusing to become more clairvoyant, asking your spirit guides to aid you with this, you can also meditate focusing on your third eye, visualizing your 'eye’ develop. There are many meditation activities you can learn to help with developing clairvoyance.

VISUAL JOURNEY’S: developing your visualisation skills will be a huge advantage in becoming more clairvoyant, visual journeys are a great way to do it! You can find visual journey tapes and recordings online, YouTube has a good variety, just try some different ones out until you find one that you like and practice on it. A visual journey is a guided walkthrough meditation that lets you 'be in’ a different environment, almost like a dream.

DIVINATION: practicing divination through the use of tarot cards, oracle cards, scrying, lithomacy, dowsing and sensing can aid in developing clairvoyance. Using these methods of divination help you focus your clairvoyance on matters which may be occurring at a distance, or back and forth in time. You can start off by choosing 1 oracle or tarot card per day and try to interpret its meaning before looking up its meaning in the tarot or oracle book, you may be surprised at how close you can match the meaning after a while. Learning divination takes patience and some forms of divination will be easier for you to pick up, not every form of divination will come easily to you, just do whatever you feel comfortable with.

INTERPRETING YOUR DREAMS: Along with your dream journal try and interprate your dreams meaning when you wake up, at the end of the day or the week look back at your dreams and see if any of your interpretations matched real life events.

REGULAR PLAYING CARDS: you can practise your intuition with regular cards, by keeping the shuffled deck face down, and not looking at the face of the cards, trying to visualise or guess if it is black or red, and putting them in two separate coloured piles, once you have gone through all the cards look at the two piles you have created, you will be surprised at how many of them you got right, and you will get better at it with practice.

I hope this post helps you develop your super senses and helps you with your clairvoyance and intuition.

I will do a divination post whenever I can to help with tarot, oracle, lithomacy and scrying development, I will also do a post about spirit guides. Do what your comfortable with and go slow, these are skills that will last you a lifetime so do not rush them 🔮🌙🌌

@dreambxby thank you for requesting this post xx

clairvoyance 101 💖👀

when translated, clairvoyance means ‘clear sight’! It’s the intuitive ability that uses the mind’s eye/third eye or physical eyes to receive messages. whenever a psychic or intuitive reader uses the words ‘I see’ or ‘i’m seeing’ during a reading, it’s safe to assume that they’re exercising clairvoyance! just a note: everyone has the ability to use clairvoyance. it is NOT some whimsical, fantasy gift that you see in movies. everyone has the ability to unlock these tools!

✨ signs you’re clairvoyant ✨

the space between your eyebrows (your pineal gland) randomly twitches, tingles, or feels warm to the touch.

you have intensely vivid dreams!

you had an active imagination as a child, probably still do.

you felt like you could physically see your imaginary friends when you were younger.

you’re more of a visual learner.

when you’re reading books, you tend to form clear images of what the characters look like and might feel immersed in the scenery!

you notice a bright glow around people’s heads or upper body.

you like visual arts!

you get lost in your own imagination and tend to daydreams about possible scenarios for your life.

flashes of ‘mental movies’ or images pop up in your head, usually containing hidden symbols and meanings.

you literally see things before they happen!

you swear you see floating orbs, shadows that seem to be floating in the air, glittering or flashing lights, or movement out of the corner of your eyes.

appreciate things that are aesthetically pleasing and interesting to look at.

✨ how to strengthen clairvoyance ✨

a lot of people roll their eyes when I suggest meditation but, I don’t know how else to tell y’all, it’s really the best way to get stronger! meditation comes in many forms. It’s not always just sitting still and relaxing. taking a walk in nature is a form of meditation! painting is a form of meditation! listening to music and doing nothing is a form of meditation. anything that gets you out of your head and into a relaxed state is meditation!

visualization. practice visualizing anything and everything

play that memory game on your phone, where you have to look at the cards or objects and remember where they were located!

set the intention to receive messages through dreams.

✨ my fave crystals for clairvoyance! ✨

use them in your practice by holding them while meditating or keeping them in your space while doing readings.

amethyst

labradorite

fluorite (specifically lavender fluorite which is a bit hard to find)

spirit quartz

clear quartz

selenite

moonstone

optical calcite

THANKS FOR READING! the rest of the ‘clairs’ + psychic abilities are coming soon! which clairvoyant signs have y’all experienced the most? 💗💗

Spirit Communication (non-verbal)

I recently re-taught a class of mine on spirit work and there were some questions regarding communication that isn’t clear audible speaking, like what tends to happen in movies and stories. As with all spirit work and communication, please be aware of what may have mundane causes behind it (especially mental-health related ones like hallucinations).

Here are some alternative methods they may communicate with you:

sudden change in temperature

music or non-language auditory sounds (thumping, whistling, moaning, etc.)

tactile sensations such as gentle pushing, brushes, nudges, etc.

empathic sensations (sudden emotional feelings being projected that aren’t your own)

smells or tastes that aren’t caused by your surroundings (they’re often tied together)

pictures or ideas in your head that seem to come from nowhere

visual representations (though I would say this is the most rare to a non-experienced spirit worker)

divination tools influence (i.e. Tarot, pendulums, scrying, casting stones/runes/coins, etc.)

Feel free to add on if you think of others!

A Crash Course on Channeling

What is Channeling?

Channeling is allowing a nonphysical entity to use your physical body, in order to accomplish something. If that sounds, vague, it’s because it is. Channeling takes many different forms and intensity levels! Depending on how it’s done, it can be a medium-difficulty task or one of the most advanced things a spirit worker can do. 

Types of Channeling

I once heard channeling described as a car ride, and in my experience that’s very accurate. The car is your body, and you’re in it with an entity. Sometimes you’re in the driver’s seat, and the entity is in the back seat giving directions. Sometimes you or the entity is in the passenger’s seat: not calling most of the shots, but able to reach over and grab the wheel if needed. Sometimes you’re in the backseat watching the entity drive, and sometimes you’re in the trunk. In practice, this can take a number of forms.

Speaking on Behalf. This is the kind of channeling people do most often. The entity isn’t controlling you, just feeding you lines which you can then relay to a third party. You’re translating their messages to something other people can comprehend. If you’ve ever answered a question for a spirit in their words, you’ve done this. 

Isolated Channeling. The entity takes control of just a part of the body, usually the hands or fingers. This is mostly used for things like automatic writing.

Assuming Form. Also known as consensual possession. The entity is in the driver’s seat, speaking and acting for themselves without your help. Some people will call this “horsing.”

Possession. While the word “possession” could technically cover all of this, within the spirit work community it’s usually reserved for channeling where the human did not consent beforehand. This doesn’t necessarily mean in a violating way- I once had a friend who got possessed just long enough for an entity to yank them out of danger; once I was taken for just a moment to convey a quick (but very direct) message to a devotee, and snapped out of it right after. 

Reasons to Channel

Everyone will have a different reason to channel but most of them fall under a few categories:

Helping Someone Else. You’re channeling on behalf of someone who can’t [easily] reach the entity themselves, in order to ease communication between the two parties. This is often seen with mediums contacting spirit guides and Ancestors.

Aid in Other Works. The entity is better suited to accomplish a certain task than you, so you let them take the lead. This is often seen with a familiar or spirit companion, someone the practitioner works with closely enough to know their strengths and trust them. 

Easier Communication Overall. Channeling is a way to get really familiar with an entity’s energy. Again, we often see this with spirit companions and is more to bond than to achieve another goal.  This would include automatic writing or letting a spirit experience things “through” you. 

Ritual Invitation. In some traditions, it’s common to invite deities to ritual events. Often, some type of channeling/possession is expected and is usually reached through ecstatic experiences. It’s taken as a sign the deity has arrived at the party, either a sign the offerings have been received or a time for the deity to convey important messages. 

Before-You-Begin Essentials

Know How To Protect Yourself. This is non-negotiable. Is your discernment tuned enough to spot an impostor or malevolent entity? Do you know how to end a session early? Do you know how to banish a spirit in an emergency? If the answer is no, then study up and return to channeling when you’re ready. 

Know Your Entity. Channeling, by nature, puts the practitioner in an intimate and vulnerable place, so you don’t want to give that access to an entity who may misuse it. If it’s your first time channeling, make sure you trust this entity with your life. 

Don’t Channel Alone. When you channel, you’re in an altered state of consciousness. Having someone grounded near you helps keep the session on track and keep you out of trouble should you need it. (Either by forcing an entity out if needed or just keeping you from climbing that tree.) 

Other Notes

It’ll Probably Take a Lot Out of You. Have something ready to ground and rehydrate yourself after a session, and make sure you don’t have anything high-demand planned after. 

Start Small. No need to jump head-first into the most advancecd and high-intensity types of channeling! Start with automatic writing or painting and get used to the feeling and work your way up.

Don’t Make It Weird. Basic etiquette still matters. Channeling is not a pass to give unsolicited messages to other practitioners, speak on behalf of their deities to them (unless they’ve specifically asked), or say hurtful things cushioned by: “What? It wasn’t me who said it.”

Messages Are Rarely “Pure.” This means everything is still filtered through you, the practitioner. Your values, morals, biases, and beliefs can inform what messages get through and how they are conveyed. Nobody wants to send out a message they disagree with, after all. This becomes less of an influencing factor with experience as one learns to hone their skill and let go more, but it’s important to always keep in mind. (If a channeling friend says a deity doesn’t accept your gender identity or something, that’s a good sign that really your “friend” doesn’t accept it.) 

[thomasjohnpsychic]

Thomas John, globally-recognized psychic medium, highlights a few important things to remember when connecting with the dead.

Speaking to the dead may make some people uncomfortable in theory, but the practice is often healing and cathartic. Whether you are looking to connect with someone who has passed away or are planning to visit a psychic medium for that purpose, there are some things to know beforehand.

[thomasjohnpsychic]

Thomas John, acclaimed psychic medium, discusses a few of the "clair" senses that psychics may possess.

The ways that each psychic medium communicates with the dead varies. How they receive messages or signals can depend on the individual conducting the reading as well as the spirits involved. Below is a brief overview of a few kinds of psychic senses psychics may have

[unabashedlyhauntednight]

🔮Psychic Skills🔮

We’re all born with extrasensory perception (ESP). We all have gut feelings, the only problem is that we don’t listen to our intuition. Your sixth sense should never be ignored.

The first step in finding your ESP is acknowledge you have the power to get all the information that was hidden from you.  Do a daily mantra or affirmation saying something like “ My mind is wide open and ready to receive information”.

Then begin researching as much as you can about a given psychic ability, especially one you have an affinity for. Learn your strengths and that most people are extrasensory in only one or two ways.

🔮Training🔮 

Close your eyes, clear your mind and let your senses guide you. Try to “feel” what’s in front of you even if you’re not physically touching it. 

Learn to focus on the senses even when you’re surrounded by distractions. When you’re in a crowded place try to quiet your mind and isolate each sense. That helps you keep your senses tightened at any time. 

After some time of doing this try to make simple predictions, like what are your friends going to tell you, or when you wake up predict if it’s sunny or not.

Clear your mind. Start with something like “Should I take this street today?”. An answer will pop into your mind. (That’s your gut feeling)  Don’t analyze it or think about it, just go with it and do it. Don’t be disappointed if you encounter problems in the street your intuition told you to go. Remember that we can never see what didn’t happen because of the choice we made. Everything happens for a reason. 

🔮Tips🔮

Trust your intuition! Never say that it’s always wrong, as this types of comments don’t let it improve. 

Stop the what-ifs! 

Don’t try to find logic in your intuition. If you do so, it won’t work.

Meditate! 

🔮Visualization exercise🔮

Clear your mind and make a list of questions you need answers to.  Close your eyes and imagine a traffic light–Red at the top (no), yellow in the middle (maybe) and green at the bottom(yes) – Start warming up by asking questions that you already know the answer to. Do this until you feel confortable asking other types of questions. The color that first pops into your mind is the answer. 

🔮Some types of psychic skills🔮

Heightened Intuition: A more developed intuition.

Clairvoyance: The ability to see visions, receive images often trough the third eye.

Clairaudience: The ability to hear messages from higher guidance.

Clairsentience: The ability to pick up energies and emotions from other people; Empathy. 

Psychometry: The ability to receive information from objects.

Telepathy: “Mind reading”. Mind to mind communication.

Precognition: Direct knowledge or perception of the future.

Mediumship: The ability to communicate with spirits. 

[thomasjohnpsychic]

Recently, Thomas John participated in a double blind test to assess his mediumship abilities.

I wanted to share with you the results of an exciting experiment I was recently a part of. As you know, there are many skeptics to the work I do, and I am constantly faced with criticism for the work that I do. I have no problem with that, as I understand the need for people to really understand the work I do. In fact, I think it’s kind of cool that there are skeptics—they need to have a voice, too.
