Developing psychic awareness is the foundation of all intuitive abilities. Before someone can communicate with spirit, sense energy or access higher perception, they must first become aware of the subtle energetic world around them. 

Psychic awareness is the ability to sense thoughts, emotions and energy fields beyond the physical senses. In this guide you’ll learn simple ways to increase your awareness and begin perceiving subtle spiritual information. 

Why Psychic Awareness Begins With a Quiet Mind

A lot of spiritual communication is done telepathically—thoughts and feelings are impressed upon you from the spirit realm. We can only have one thought or feeling at a time. Have you ever tried to be angry and grateful simultaneously?

If your mind is chattering all day, how can you expect spirit to communicate when you won’t hang up the call with your conscious mind? The first step is developing a still mind—a blank slate so that you can start to receive information.

Increasing Energetic Awareness 

Sensing energy within your environment must start with creating a baseline, what does energy feel like normally for you? The more sensitive you become the more you’ll notice when the energy shifts. Its much easier to observe and detect these shifts when you spend time alone or are the only one who shares your living space. 

Learning To Observe Your Own Energy

Observing your own energy starts with an understanding of what your own body feels like. Once you know your own vibration, you can start to notice anomalies in your energy field. A good way to open up your psychic sensitivity is to scan each body part individually, we start by noticing the feeling within the body. When we are aware of the bodily sensations we automatically become aware of the auric field around  

Developing Sensitivity To Other Peoples Energy

Once you’re aware of your own energy, test your method by entering someone else’s energy field and observe their energy. Notice the subtle differences in their presence. Can you feel where their aura starts? Do you sense a change in the atmosphere around them? Once you can pick up on others’ energy, you’re ready for the next step.

Becoming Aware of the Energy in Places

All matter has memory, storing information in its particles. This is how psychometry works—we can recall information from an item through physical contact. Physical spaces also contain information unseen to the naked eye.

Expand your consciousness, imagine your aura filling a room, and scan for anomalies. What you detect might be similar to a smudge of colour. Focus in and get more detail; you may even see the spirit in your mind’s eye. Try this in different locations and note the varying feelings you pick up.

Developing Awareness Using The Minds Eye 

Develop psychic abilities visualising with the mind’s eye. With your eyes open, picture an ice cream in your hand. The way you see this ice cream is similar to how you would encounter most spirits—like an image on tracing paper or a low opacity layer in Photoshop. Some people see spirits as physical manifestations (apparitions), but this is much rarer because it takes significant energy for a spirit to lower its vibration to the physical plane.

My spirit guides no longer appear as physical apparitions now that I know how to communicate with them, In the past when i first saw them with my two eyes I panicked and ran away which was a waste of their energy and it shifted me out of the vibration to be able to communicate effectively. I embraced fear and let it embody me instead of alchemising that thought.

Psychic Protection and Spiritual Boundaries 

As your psychic awareness grows, protecting your energy becomes important. When you become sensitive to subtle energies, you may also become aware of negative influences. Learning basic spiritual protection helps maintain balance and safety. Psychic need to take extra care when choosing what media they consume as negative data can create negative spectres. Modern technology and media has become a burden for the clairvoyant mind, watching a horror film will send out a signal calling similar energies back to you, so if your sat in fear you may be inviting something that likes to feed on that fear. 

When attempting to connect to spirit, you open a doorway to a dimension matching your vibrational frequency. If you are filled with doubt and anxiety, you open a door to spirits sharing those feelings. They might stick around if you feel helpless long enough. To avoid this, communicate with spirit only when your vibration is high—when you feel good, full of love, and joy. This is why Jesus taught us to live with unconditional love, demons do not like love, they cannot exist around it, its like trying keep a candle lit in a flash flood . 

Simple Psychic Protection Techniques

Psychic protection starts with understanding the basics or energy, vibration, light and dark. I try to break down the entity to its basic form. Instead of thinking I am dealing with a conscious being I see it as a wandering emotion. How can we transmute that emotion? How can we make it leave?

Spiritual Protection With the Minds Eye 

Imagine yourself surrounded by a white light or protection. Visualise this light filling you with power and angels beside you for protection. Since spirit reside in a mental plane, we use the mental plan to fight back. Energy follows intention and we humans have dominion over energy in this physical realm. Our beliefs become portals that allow entities in, I choose to believe that dark energy cannot exist around me, I have an army of angelic warrior’s that keep me safe at all times. 

Spiritual Protection Using Vibrational Opposites

In music production phase cancellation refers to when two identical frequencies silence each other out. Think of your energy like a magnet, the energy of love will repel the energy of hate. If an entity feeds on your negative energy, change your vibration so it can no longer feed. A helpless spirit will not feel at home when you are full of ambition and purpose. Radiate gratitude, love, and joy, and only spirits matching that energy will stay. Positivity will drive negative entities away and vice versa. This is why psychic protection starts with awareness, then shifts into mind control. 

Tools for Spiritual Protection

Tools are used for spiritual protection by mystics, witches and empaths as they allow us to cleanse quickly without focusing on the mind or our own internal state. Using sage smoke, sound vibration or energy tools to shift the energy in the room we can repel entities in the environment. 

Orgone can be used to trap negative energy, these devices draw in positive ions, clean the energy, and release negative ions in return. Many practitioners believe entities dislike orgone as it cleans and rebalances the energy in the environment making it harder for them to find something to attach to. 

Black crystals can be used to absorb negative energy but must be cleansed regularly. I’ve seen multiple people embody the same characteristics via possession because they’d stood next to a black crystal which was previously used around a demonic entity and hadn’t been cleansed afterwards. This spirit would then possess everyone that stood at the side of that crystal until i noticed the patterns and cleansed it using selenite. 

Maintaining A Positive Mental State

Maintaining a positive mental state is the ultimate spiritual protection. The ability to control your mind on demand is essential. Evil entities can influence your thoughts and emotions, but the best defence is to be positive and happy. Keep a journal of things that make you feel good and reflect on it when you feel down. This can quickly raise your vibration and repel negative entities in a time of need. Shifting your negative state into a positive one is alchemy.

Summary : Awareness Is The First Step To Psychic Development 

Psychic awareness is the foundation of all intuitive and spiritual abilities its more subtle than we realise. Through our sixth sense we can detect subtle energetic changes and, if we choose, communicate with the spiritual realm. Spirits we encounter will typically match our vibration, so it’s best to be in a good state of mind before opening up to communication.

Psychic awareness is often described as a sixth sense, an intuitive perception beyond the physical senses. Once you have raised your awareness, learn to control your mind, alchemise negative thoughts into positive emotions. Go here to dive deeper into psychic development.
