Could I have undeveloped psychic abilities?
I am an extremely spiritual person. I have always felt very inuitive.My mom even swears by this. However I have always been a little skeptic even though I do quite often feel very very "different". I have been told that I am an "empath" before and I truly can't be in a crowded room sometimes because I get overwhelmed with other's emotions. When I was a child my parents say that I would always be looking at things they could not see,was almost startlingly imaginative,and I was also very aware of other people even as a baby. I have even had experiences with talking to my brother (who we lost to an accident),according to my parents, even though I was so young that I do not really remember. Lately, I feel that this awareness of the spiritual world has been getting more and more developed. I have had a few astral projection experiences as well as very easily can become hypnotized and see worlds and things that I have never seen prior. My great grandmother and grandmother both have the gift of prophetic dreams and I definitely feel like I may have inherited that. I have what most people will call de'ja'vu so often that it's almsot annoying! Recently, I tried using a ouija board. We began noticing that the board was extremely active when I was using it with someone and when I wasn't it seemed to halt. I felt like I had a sort of mediator role in the experience and am just curious if any of this means anything? Is it possible that I have some abilities that I am not completely using. If so, is there any way that I could expand them and develop them more? I have just grown very curious.Thank you!

Excluding mental illness, it sounds more likely that you are not a psychic per se, you are a sensitive. Sensitives are people who have empathic traits as well as modernistic traits. Psychic gifts/abilities/curses, however you wish to view them, seem to run in families. Having modernistic abilities imply that you can "see through the veil" between this world and the spirit world. Using a Ouija board acts as a conduit for spirit communication, but the spirits you communicate with tend to not be very nice even if they seem to be nice. Having this ability allows you to communicate with higher energy; those that have crossed over, those that protect you, those that guide you, those that wish to pass on messages to living people. A spirit can contact you with some message, which makes no sense to you, but relay it if you feel you need to do so. For development, find a sensitive, a real one not some carnival fake, and ask them for help. Many times your abilities will develop naturally over time as long as you don't shut them out. For me, when I really began to have the same experiences as you, I began to see, hear, and smell odd things. I thought I was becoming schizophrenic, but my mom, who also has similar abilities, informed me that she was having the same experiences as me, but not as strongly as I was. My abilities really developed after visiting an old Civil War field hospital. I had no knowledge of the building being that since it currently is a bookstore and down plays the building's role. I contacted a sensitive who helped me understand these abilities better than I currently understood them. I wish you the best of luck in your spiritual journey and remember that you have a gift, for helping people, not for making money nor seeking fame; people will trust you to help them and this is better than any sort of economic payment you could ever receive.

Children are naturally very intuitive because they are told to expand there imagination. When Kids grow up, this imagination disappears because we are then brought up to belief systems and morals. this is where the Abilities stop. Everyone has intuition people just have different frequencies. This is also why you don't have the experiences that you had when you were a child.
There are many ways of opening your senses. One is to first open the third eye (pineal gland).

Next you have to meditate on a routine basis. Another thing that may help you is Binaural Beats. Binaural beats help get into a meditative state. Also, you have to start exploring your abilities.
something simple that you can do that most empaths see normally is too read auras on people, animals or plant life. An aura looks like a series of colors around people,animals, plants etc. Once you see these auras you can look up what different colors mean. This is just a small step in your abilities. Empaths are like sponges we have multiple abilities not just one.

We are very complex beings with each of us having various abilities. Many individuals report having experiences with certain psychic abilities. Some are able to tune in to them more than others and others it just takes a little more focus . These abilities are quite natural and are very much a part of our existence. Many individuals are highly intuitive, which is very much related to psychic abilities. You feel a sense of knowing without really any real effort. It just comes to you. It's almost like you are highly synchronized and in tune with the world . Sometimes when I watch Jeopardy, I can pick up on the answers quite easily. This is a really good way to sharpen your intuitive skills as well as to become more knowledgeable on many subjects. I would also recommend meditation. This is a great way to tune into your inner self and help sharpen and become in touch with yourself and your inner abilities. It will also put you more at peace. Just try to put yourself at ease and focus on yourself. You will notice that it can become more second nature with practice and patience.I also do not recommend using a ouija board at all as they can be dangerous. Good luck and take care.

No, psychic powers don't actually exist. Your family appears to be very superstitious. Astral projection doesn't really work; you were imagining it or dreaming. No one has ever so much as astrally projected themselves into the next room despite an offer of a million bucks for anyone who could. As for the ouija board, you were moving it yourself, even if you didn't realize it. It's very easy to prove, and it's been shown to be the case every single time.

Hi! You may opt to take the psychic test below. It is a test whether you are truly developing psychic abilities or those things happened were just merely coincidence.
Everyone possesses psychic abilities butt not everyone has the ability to access and utilise their inner psychic self- it needs to be cultivated and nurtured over a long period of time. :)

I'm like this too, I think it's just extreme sensitivity and intuition. If you'd like to call it being psychic,it's not necessarily wrong, but I think it's just being observant. I've predicted multiple situations and deaths before (to the point where its scaring me andmy family/friends) but I again attribute that to intuition rather than power

Yes do you see color when you look at people? If you can then you have developed and are able to see the color of people's souls
