When I interviewed each psychic, I asked how they figured out they were psychic. The answers fell into four categories:
(1) I was born knowing I was psychic;
(2) I knew I was different from other children, but didn’t know I was psychic. I had to figure out what was going on;
(3) I was a normal child who developed my gift later in life, mostly through study and development; and
(4) I had a near-death experience, or another kind of trauma, which opened my understanding and my abilities.
Here is an example, or two, from each of these categories:
Born Knowing
Leah Taylor: I was psychic from childhood. I knew what other people felt and thought and what was going on with them. My Mom said that I was only about a year old when I began showing empathy. I was very precocious as a child and I think it is because I remember a lot of my past lives. Sometimes that is good, but in second grade I started recalling my past life in WWII and I didn’t want to get out of bed. I stayed home for a week, under the covers, reliving the whole experience with all of its details. It was very traumatic.
My Mom introduced me to all of this. Since I was a little girl, we were dousing, using pendulums, and reading Tarot cards. However, I also brought her into some of it because of my interest in it.
I came in knowing what I had.
Jeff Sonnenburg: When I was nine years old, my mother was having a large bridge party in the living room, with about 20 ladies. I came down to get a drink of water. I was half asleep and as I walked by the party I exclaimed, “Mrs. Murphy is pregnant!” Mrs. Murphy ran, crying, into the kitchen. She was pregnant, she had not told anyone and it was not her husband’s child. My mother told me never to do that again.
Another critical moment was in college when my fraternity brothers called me “The Witch,” in a positive way. I could get them free drinks by telling the bartender all about herself.
Had to figure it out
Gina Stanfill: As a child, I knew something was going on, but I couldn’t figure it out. I had a lot of déjà vu, but I didn’t know how to deal with it so I shut myself out of the world for most of my life. As a child, I lived in my bedroom because that was where I could deal with the realms and the spirits who came to visit. They were my friends and I hung out with them. At night I astral-traveled and it was fine. I couldn’t share this with information anyone. I went to school and functioned there, and immediately went home and hid in my room.
I thought I was crazy. I grew up thinking I was nuts. I was happy. No one knew what to do with me.
Had a normal childhood
Nancy: I figured it out on my own. The more I learned about anything metaphysical, the more I understood the possibilities. In 1970, I started a study group in Wisconsin to understand metaphysics and I had a very powerful experience during an automatic writing session. We were all sitting in my studio and the teacher explained what automatic writing was.
I had just returned from a trip to Sedona and had found out that the mother of a good friend of mine had passed away while I was gone. The woman who had passed away was named Hannah. In the past, every time I had had lunch with Hannah she had said, “Thank you for being my friend.” In addition, whenever she talked about her son she would say, “Oh, Ron will be Ron.”
Back to the automatic writing session. We did a guided meditation and we each had a pen and paper. The teacher said that if nothing was happening, just to write our names. I started to write my name and my arm started shaking. I opened my eyes in disbelief, and I wrote, “Sad.” I wasn’t crying, but suddenly tears were running out of my eyes. Then I wrote, “Thank you for being my friend,” and I realized it was Hannah. My hand moved down the paper and my hand wrote, “Ron will be . . . ” I put the pen down and I was completely freaked out. It was the first time, I had had that kind of a mind-boggling experience. That was when I realized that there was a lot out there which I didn’t understand and it increased my interest in finding out more.
A trauma opened the gift
Raquel Spencer: I have always been intuitive. As a child, I talked to the Angels at night. I said my prayers, asked questions, and mentally knew the answers. For example, I lost tickets and was told where to find them. I just knew things. It’s not like hearing something, or having someone whisper in my ear; it’s a knowing. However, around six or seven years of age, I started to lose that connection. I didn’t really get it back until after I had a medical issue.
When I was about 20 years old, I slipped into an unconscious state. Five and a half weeks later, I woke up. I was pronounced dead three times and I came back three times. There was no medical reason, no accident, which caused this event. When I woke up, I was fine. I just felt like I had lost time.
Several years later, I started to become spiritually aware. My interests, curiosity, and knowledge started to come on-line. At that point, I started on the path of spiritual exploration. I am very good at following my inner promptings, following Spirit. When I get an intuitive message to go somewhere or to read a book and I follow those instincts, I run into the right people and into the right contacts; new doors and understandings open up.
I was introduced to a woman who was on the cutting edge in the spiritual world. She was a channel of Metatron. I went to see her, not really knowing what a channel was, and she said, “I have been expecting you. Where have you been? You are behind schedule.” I was surprised and I had no idea what she was talking about. She did a reading for me and introduced me to new concepts, such as light body and ascension. I was reeling after that discussion as all of the information tried to settle in.
Three or four months later, I followed Spirit and went to northern CA for a three-day intensive workshop for etheric surgery with a woman named Tachi-Ren. Someone told me about it and I just went. That weekend, she activated me, bringing in my knowledge and wisdom about my work. I started to remember things. It was a “remembering” from the part of me which was not in physical form. I remembered my Higher Consciousness, what I came here to do, and what my work was all about. That is where it all began.
