Terms to know....

Here I will try to define some of the more common terms that are used in describing psychic gifts.
Clairvoyance: The ability to see into the future.

Medium: A medium is generally defined simply as one who communicates with the dead. They may use many techniques to do this including automatic writing, which is basically allowing the spirit to write through a person in a meditative or receptive state.

Telepathy or ESP (Extra Sensory Perception): This refers to the ability to read persons thoughts.

Channeling: Channeling is the ability to connect with a spirit or personality on the other side directly and allow him/her to speak through them. A Channeler may have a distinctive voice change, or otherwise different way of speaking, and may experience direct emotions of the deceased such as anger and sorrow.

Empath: An empath feels the emotions of others as if they were their own.

Many people will have all or several of these gifts, and therefore find it much easier to just say “psychic” than to try to define themselves to clients. You may have had experiences of ESP or Clairvoyance at one time or another, and again, it is possible to expand on and explore your own inherent psychic gifts through meditation and practice.
