Psychic power is the ability to sense and interpret energy. There are a number of different types of psychic abilities. Many people possess one or more of these gifts. They are indeed gifts. There are also those that do not possess any or do possess them and do not realize it therefore never using their gifts. Listed here is a comprehensive list of psychic abilities.

 

Telepathy:

 

Telepathy is the ability to read thoughts, usually surface thoughts. The most common type is between close family and friends. Slightly less common is the ability to read the surface thoughts of strangers. Even less common is being able to read the deep or subconcious thoughts of people whether it be friends, family or strangers. A highly gifted telepath will have the habit of knowing everything about a person when they meet them. People with this gift often suffer from "white noise" or a buzzing in the head when in crowds, sometimes with a feeling of pressure in the brain. Many highly gifted telepaths find it difficult to live in highly populated areas. They are also prone to intense headaches.

 

There are three types of telepaths:

 

The sending telepath is one who cannot hear the thoughts of others but instead sends their own thoughts to someone even remotely sensitive. They can influence others without even realizing it simply by strongly desiring something.

 

The receiving telepath can hear but cannot send; others cannot pick up on their thoughts.

 

The most common telepath is the one who can both send and receive thoughts.

 

Empathy:

 

Empathy revolves around emotion instead of thoughts. Empaths can also be sending, receiving or both.

 

A sending empath usually does not have a sense of what others feel but can change a situation from unpleasant to pleasant and visa versa.

 

A receiving empath is in danger of being swamped by the emotions of others.

 

As with a telepath the most common type of empath is one who both senses and influences the emotions of others. For an empath emotions play a very big role in their everyday life. Crowds are almost unbearable and they go through an entire range of emotions in a matter of minutes. At times they may feel that they are on an emotional roller coaster. They also though make good counselors because they really understand.

 

Psychometry:

 

This is the ability to pick up images, histories and impressions from objects and places by holding an object. They see or sense information about the most frequent user of the object.

 

Clairvoyance:

 

These people can see visions of things happening in the present on this plane as well as astrally. Combined with other gifts they can often see "movies" of things that happened in the past or will happen in the future. This often occurs in dreams.

 

Clairaudience:

 

These people can hear conversations or information being transmitted vocally on this plane or astrally. With other gifts they may hear things from the past or the future.

 

Clairentience:

 

These people know or feel things about places such as a room, a building, a field or a house. Some are more sensitive than others therefore sensing things more strongly.

 

Precognition:

 

This is the ability to sense, see and/or hear things that may happen in the future. This is usually combined with other gifts and often occurs in dreams that come true, visions, hunches or just knowing.

 

Retrocognition:

 

The ability to sense, see and/or hear things that occurred in the past. These people have an increased likelihood of seeing past lives and connections with others.

 

Telekinesis:

 

These people have the ability to move objects with their mind. This gift is usually seen in adolescents going through puberty and is responsible for the majority of the poltergeist activity. This gift can also show up as the klutz; someone who when emotionally stimulated objects around them fall over, break or something spills. Actually, someone who does show up as a klutz is considered highly gifted and needs to learn to control over their emotions, particularly strong emotions such as anger or guilt.

 

Pyrokinesis:

 

This is the firestarter. These people have the ability to start and/or control fire or heat with their mind. This gift also tends to happen with strong emotion and is the rarest of all gifts.

 

Hydrokinesis:

 

These people have the ability to control or create movements in water at will. They can control the water by creating ripples in the water to creating whirlpools. An experienced hydrokinetic can create water out of thin air and imagine water molecules forming with air molecules and see the water appear in their mind clearly and see it coming out of the air and see the water shape into whatever they want. In time they are able to generate enough water to the point were they may generate enough water in their own mind to create a sheild.

 

Medium:

 

These people have the ability to see, hear and communicate with non-corporeal entities such as spirit-beings, non-local entities, ghosts and other non human beings. This gift is usually combined with other gifts.

 

Automatic Writing;

 

The art of writing through the subconscious mind without conscious thought, or through guided writing from the unknown.

 

Catalyst Telepath:

 

A person who has the ability to unlock a gift in others. They also have the ability to tell who is gifted and who is "headblind". Gifted people of all varieties tend to recognize who are gifted and feel uncomfortable around the "headblind". The calalyst telepath is usually very sensitive and has other gifts in full measure.

 

Transformers:

 

These people have the ability to work directly with the energies and the earth's magnetic forces and change them. Such as being able to alter a negatively charged current into a positive one. This gift is very rare.

 

Grounder:

 

This is a person who grounds any energy that comes their way. One can't work energy in circle with a grounder.

 

Null Field:

 

Psychic gifts and energy go dead in the presence of a null field. Most strong skeptics are actually nulls and gifts won't work in their vicinity.

 

Dowsing:

 

These people have the ability to sense things in the earth such as water, metal and ley lines.

 

Bard Gift:

 

The ability to use, increase and return the energy of an audience so that their emotional states are altered to what the bard is sending. With a strong gift an audience will see visions of the subject matter of the song or musical piece.

 

Healing:

 

Healing only occurs with telepathy or empathy and is using the mind to heal.
