National Increase Your Psychic Powers Day

Well, today marks National Increase Your Psychic Powers Day! Or, perhaps you already knew that… 

I just did a quick Google search and there appears to be no shortage of resources on how to do this. But, before we get into this, perhaps I should clarify what a psychic is, and what powers are associated with being one. A psychic is “a person who claims to have an ability to perceive information hidden from the normal senses through extrasensory perception (ESP), or who is said by others to have such abilities.” Now, as far as psychic powers, or abilities as they are more acceptably known, there is a massive list! Some of these powers include: telekinesis, empathy, death warnings, premonitions, telepathy and many, many more. For a full list of what Wikipedia deems to be psychic abilities, and even a few bonus, not-so-psychic psychic abilities, click on the link highlighted by “psychic powers above.” 

Since we’ve cleared those important factors up, let’s get down to business! How do we actually increase our psychic abilities? From my scan of the quick Google search I alluded to at the beginning of this post, some of the common themes for developing and/or increasing psychic powers include: meditation, becoming aware of your surroundings (visually, audibly, etc.), believing in yourself, practice, strengthening your telepathic abilities by trying to read others’ thoughts, being positive, take psychic classes, keep a dream journal, and imagine!

I don’t know about you, but some of these are just genuine things we should be doing to make our lives better, while others just sound loony! Don’t get me wrong, I truly believe that some people are more in tune with their surroundings than others, and thus have the ability to see past the present, but giving advice of “imagine” or “practice by trying to read others’ thoughts” make light of those who actually do have these abilities. 

Anyway, it’s also Halloween – one of my favourite days of the year! Why you might be asking? Well, its really the only day of the year you can truly be yourself! And with that, I invite you to vote on the Daily Poll! Good luck to those of you embarking on the journey of today’s National celebration, by attempting to increase you psychic powers!
