Definition of psychic abilities. Extrasensory perception and scientific evidence of supernatural abilities
The human brain and body hide a huge potential that defies any explanation from the point of view of science. It will take hundreds of years to fully study it. Psychic abilities still belong to the unknown side of the coin.
They are possessed not only by those who received a special gift by inheritance through generations from hereditary magicians or acquired it after serious life upheavals. Many are not even aware of their paranormal tendencies. As a rule, initially they are in a depressed state and manifest themselves in each person in completely different ways. Key signs of psychic abilities will help to detect them.
People with superpowers often receive information about the future. Falling into a dream, they see vivid pictures and observe a certain chain of incidents, which after some time are sure to be repeated in life. This is one of the signs indicating the presence of psychic abilities.
To track it, it is advisable to write down unusual facts seen in a dream immediately after waking up. Comparing the recordings made with real events, one can easily check whether they are projected in reality. In addition to dreams, visions of the future can appear through tactile contact with an object, through a magic mirror ball, when divining on simple cards or using the major tarot arcana.
"Important! Having discovered psychic abilities in yourself, you must definitely practice them regularly, expanding the range of feelings. As an option - to be trained by experienced psychics who have achieved success in such a craft "
Significant symptoms: vivid perception of emotions and developed intuition
The predisposition to empathy speaks of hidden superpowers. It is a rather rare talent found in psychotherapists and healers. Empaths are very sensitive and deeply aware of the feelings of strangers. This gift is not always pleasant, because emotions are not always positive.
In any case, when there is the slightest inclination to it, a person is related to extrasensory perception.
Clairvoyants often manage to find a way out of the most confusing situation, to catch luck "by the tail" in difficult moments, to anticipate trouble in advance, to make the most correct decision in a particular case, to determine the name of a stranger without words. These signs are not just a coincidence, but a strong confirmation of strong intuition, which is another psychic ability.
"Important! You can find such signs of extrasensory abilities in a child. Recognition at an early age will provide an opportunity to better develop the hidden gift and direct it in time in the right direction.
Fateful sign - special lines on the hands
Signs of extrasensory abilities on the hand belong to the category of fairly common phenomena. All of them indicate a penchant for a particular talent:
- at least three lines on the "hill of Mercury" just below the base of the little finger - healing;
- a cross on the tip of the index finger - a prediction of the future;
- a small island on the "belt of Venus" under the middle and ring fingers - clairvoyance;
- the ring of "Jupiter" wrapped around the index finger - telepathy, the power of the word;
- a triangle closer to the center of the phalanx of the middle finger - susceptibility to different energies.
In textbooks on palmistry, individual signs and lines in the palm of your hand are deciphered as direct signs of extrasensory abilities on a person’s hand. They influence fate and signal phenomenal opportunities.
Non-standard sensations: fear of open doors and materialization of thoughts
Usually, the fear of open doorways is attributed to agoraphobia, not regarding it as signs of extrasensory abilities in a person. This is not entirely correct: the desire to be in a closed space may not be associated with a mental disorder, but with an unconscious desire to protect one's own energy. Windows and doors, almost on a par with mirrors, have long been considered passages between parallel worlds. No wonder eminent magicians perform most of the mysterious rituals in a closed semi-dark room, preventing unwanted energy losses.
Thoughts and wishes of some people are material and often come true. These types of psychic abilities manifest themselves in different ways: both in a positive and in a negative sense. Those who attract events have the strongest energy. Such people should watch what they think, while being especially careful. Even if materialization is observed sometimes, it still indicates the presence of a gift that can be further developed using special techniques.
Additional ways to identify superpowers
If you do not find any of the above signs in yourself, it makes sense to go through or perform exercises that will finally refute or confirm the beginnings of extrasensory abilities. First of all, it is worth using the main receiver of information - your own hands. They are able to receive signals from various sources, passing them through themselves and transmitting wave radiation.
Below is an algorithm of the most effective methods:
- Find an old family album and use your hands to feel the energy emanating from everyone who is depicted in the pictures. Analyze whether the sensations are different when touching the dead and the living. Feelings can be expressed in a change in temperature and emerging images. In case of successful results, you can try to work with photographs of unknown people.
- Prepare a new deck of cards and shuffle them carefully. Place the stack in your right hand, covering it with your left hand. Try to predict the number, suit (or at least the color) of the card you will draw, clearly pronouncing the information aloud or mentally. Then evaluate the result, making sure you are right or wrong. Repeat the procedure several times.
- Experiment with seeing an individual energy field extending beyond the human body. Place your hands palms down so that the distance between the fingers does not exceed half a centimeter. Slowly move your hands until you notice a translucent glow at your fingertips.
- Complicate the exercise with the aura. Find a partner and ask him to stand in front of a uniform dark background. Focus on the area around the head and shoulders. The energy field should appear in the form of discharged rays or fog emanating from the contour of the body. At first, only a colorless haze can be seen. Developing the skill further, one can learn to distinguish the entire aura in color. Visible shades will tell about the character, thoughts, health of a person.
It is only obvious that extrasensory perception is a special type of perception in which other sense organs are involved than the well-known organs of hearing, sight, touch, smell and the organs of the vestibular apparatus. Another name for this type of perception is called hypersensitivity (translated from Latin extra - over, sensus - feeling).
Usually, the demonstration of psychic ability is carried out using such features of perception as telepathy, clairvoyance, telekinesis, anomalous intuition, healing abilities, the ability to "see" events from the past or predict the future, and other paranormal abilities of gifted people - psychics.
The ability to extrasensory perception is associated with the existence of a powerful biofield, superior in its characteristics to the biofield of ordinary, average people.
Any information received by people with hypersensitivity accumulates in their head in the form of pictures, memories, hallucinations, sounds, images, smells, etc. Their ability to interpret this information and give it some definition or explanation depends on imagination, education, logical thinking, intuition, sacred knowledge, experience, etc.
At the same time, an important difference between extrasensory perception and indefatigable imagination, psychedelic hallucinations or ordinary charlatanism is that the facts given out by a psychic can (and should!) be verified and confirmed their authenticity.
Types of psychic abilities
Extrasensory abilities and abilities of people with hypersensitivity vary. Varieties of extrasensory abilities are a kind of specialization or career guidance for psychics. Depending on experience and abilities, psychics can practice both a highly specialized type of extrasensory perception, and use several different techniques.
The most common types of psychic abilities include:
1. Clairvoyant abilities - extrasensory perception abilities, which are expressed in a person's ability to "see" events from the past, future, and events from the present, using changes in the state of consciousness.
2. Ability to predict events - paranormal ability to foresee only future events and give them some interpretation.
3. The ability to communicate with otherworldly forces, spirits, entities, etc. Psychics who have the ability to communicate with spirits are called mediums.
4. Healing abilities - the ability to suppress and eliminate the causes of physical pain using bioenergy channels.
At the same time, psychic abilities do not include the ability to heal people with the help of medicinal plants, predict events or provide any information using mineral stones, cards, magical amulets, talismans, rituals and other magical paraphernalia.
People who have anomalous hypersensitivity and use various “magic” paraphernalia in their psychic practice call themselves not just psychics, but magicians, sorcerers, witches, “followers”, etc.
Where do psychics come from?
1. Psychics become as a result of heredity and continuity of generations. This happens when there are people in the family who have paranormal abilities that are passed down from generation to generation.
2. Paranormal abilities or hypersensitivity is revealed as a result of any extraordinary events in a person's life. For example, the strongest psycho-emotional shock, clinical death, brain injury, exposure to natural or physical phenomena, such as an electric shock or after a lightning strike a person, after which the person survived.
3. There is an opinion that all people have one or another ability to supersensitivity. Based on this, anyone can develop paranormal abilities. For this, only training according to certain methods is necessary. The duration and intensity of training may depend on the natural susceptibility of a person and the psychological readiness to perceive other forms of attitude.
How not to become a victim of psychics-charlatans
In recent years, thanks to the efforts of the media, psychic practice has become so widespread that it has led to the emergence of a whole avalanche of scammers who want to earn extra money on human gullibility and, often, the hopelessness of many people who turn to psychics for help.
In order not to become a victim of "extracharlatans", you just need to use some tips.
1. During a session with a psychic, one should not give answers to leading questions. A professional psychic is able to give out the expected information based on the input received without further clarification.
2. You should not trust people who promise that for the necessary payment they will help you find a person or thing, solve any problem or cure diseases. Most likely, this is not true.
3. You should not 100% trust the words of psychics, even if they have only positive recommendations. Psychics are the same people who are not immune from mistakes and wrong decisions.
Forms of perception or human abilities. The existence of such forms of perception and abilities has no scientific evidence, the National Science Foundation (USA) classifies extrasensory perception as one of the most common pseudoscientific delusions among Americans.
In some cases, the phenomena of perception caused by pathologies or synesthetic states of the subjects are interpreted by them as "psychic abilities" (for example, like seeing a person's aura with synesthesia).
Classification
The manifestations of extrasensory perception in the parasciences include telepathy, clairvoyance and proscopia, dowsing or "biointroscopy"(incorrectly called dowsing), but often such manifestations also include methods of some non-material extra-physical impact on objects, organisms or physical phenomena - telekinesis or psychokinesis, psychic healing etc.
So, Ryan and Soule understood telepathy as the transmission of information from brain to brain without the mediation of sensory channels. Under cryptesthesia - the receipt by the brain of information about material objects hidden in any way and located at a distance, also without the mediation of the senses. They called psychokinesis the spatial manipulation of material objects with the help of a purely mental effort, again without a material effector. By clairvoyance, they understood the ability to foresee the future states of material phenomena without inferences based on known facts.
The study of extrasensory perception
Some scientists have tried to study people who claimed to have psychic abilities. In particular, many experiments were carried out by scientists Ryan and Soule. However, their study is subjected to detailed criticism in the book by J. Spencer-Brown (English)"Probability and Scientific Inference" Probability and Scientific Inference).
It should be noted that periodically there are organizations that devote their activities to exposing psychics. For example, the famous illusionist James Randi founded the Educational Foundation in his name, offering a million US dollars to anyone who demonstrates psychic abilities in a rigorously designed experiment. Despite many years of conscription and dozens of monthly attempts, no one has yet received a million. In Russia, for a similar test of psychic abilities, the Harry Houdini Prize was created.

« Those 10 items were extrasensory perception (ESP), that houses can be haunted, ghosts/that spirits of dead people can come back in certain places/situations, telepathy/communication between minds without using traditional senses, clairvoyance/the power of the mind to know the past and predict the future, astrology /that the position of the stars and planets can affect people's lives, that people can communicate mentally with someone who has died, witches, reincarnation/the rebirth of the soul in a new body after death, and channeling/allowing a „spirit-being “to temporarily assume control of a body.” - Milan, E.

Extrasensory perception (extrasensory perception) (from lat. - “over”, “outside”; sensus - “feeling”) - forms of perception using unknown (or seemingly so) sense organs and / or little studied mechanisms of perception.
In some cases, phenomena considered as extrasensory perception, in local restrictions in relation to the recipient, can manifest themselves in a special state of synesthesia, due to the preservation of the integrity of synaptic bridges in the nervous system, which sometimes occurs against the background of anomalies in its development. As a result, a person subject to such an anomaly may have a more subtle perception and illusions of seeing the biofield. The National Science Foundation (USA) classifies extrasensory perception as one of the most common pseudoscientific delusions among Americans.

The study of extrasensory perception
Some scientists have tried to study people who claimed to have psychic abilities. In particular, many experiments were carried out by scientists Ryan and Soule. However, their study is criticized in detail in a book by J. Spencer Brown.
Most of the experiments are characterized by an unscientific approach (methodological incorrectness and irreproducibility), that is, they do not meet the requirements for the reliability of a scientific experiment. Believers in extrasensory perception explain irreproducibility by the features of some extrasensory perception, declaring their instability due to the appearance of unknown "unfavorable" internal or external conditions or requiring difficult to achieve and easily violated special states of the psyche of the participants in the experiment, that is, they remain esoteric practices that declare the dependence of results on the personality of the operator and irreproducibility effect with instruments.
The situation is similar with the theoretical substantiation of existing phenomena by people who are far from a scientific approach: in most cases, non-sensory perception is explained by non-material mechanisms, that is, it requires agents (such as torsion or microleptonic fields, etc.) that are outside the field of science that deals only with material objects. The extreme case is explanations that lie not in the scientific, but in the occult sphere, as, for example, in the case of the vision of a certain
extrasensory perception- form perception, which uses additional senses that go beyond the five well-known ones - hearing, sight, touch, smell, vestibular apparatus.
Manifestation psychic abilities are usually associated with telepathy, clairvoyance, telekinesis and other anomalous abilities of some people (psychics). Usually, psychic abilities are associated with the presence of a powerful biofields, which in its characteristics surpasses the field of the average person. The psychic can receive information directly brain bypassing the normal senses. This information may appear in the form of pictures, voices, and so on.
People with psychic powers can see aura living beings and various objects, as well as adjust biofields. In practice, such abilities are most in demand in the field healing, as well as search lost people and things. Often resort to the help of psychics to remove negative programs- a crown of celibacy, damage, evil eye, etc.
Modern the science cannot yet explain the phenomenon of extrasensory perception - numerous experiments conducted do not give an unambiguous result that would allow us to draw a final conclusion about the existence of this phenomenon. On the other hand, due to the unusual opportunities, which gives practical the use of extrasensory perception, a large proportion of reliable information or not disclosed for a wide range of people, or it is difficult to distinguish it from rumors and gossip.
Unfortunately, popularity psychic topic in the media, led to the fact that a lot of people who do not have any special abilities began to practice extrasensory perception, using the trust of the inhabitants. As a result, society has formed enough negative attitude towards this practice, which extended to real psychics. Unfortunately, the denial of the phenomenon of extrasensory perception by science leads to a situation where, firstly, it is impossible to "separate the wheat from the chaff", and, secondly, people who discover supernatural abilities, do not have information how to use them correctly and safely for others. A general recommendation for beginner psychics can be an indication of the need to practice only under supervision. an experienced teacher, which will allow you to properly develop your abilities, not to make serious mistakes along the way.
You need to understand that the work of a psychic is associated with interaction with various energy substances, many of which have negative character. By ridding the patient of such energy entities, an insufficiently experienced psychic can bring on client's problems - illnesses, material problems, etc. That is why, novice psychics must be very careful in the use of one's abilities, especially in cases where it is associated with a direct impact on the biofield of another person. Experienced psychics periodically conduct energy cleansing, during which they get rid of the negative substances that they received from patients in the course of treatment.
The emergence of psychic abilities can occur as in childhood, as well as in adulthood. There are many theories that claim that in practice all children possess psychic skills, but most of them lose these abilities. It is usually associated with public rejection children who are able to do something related to the category of the supernatural. Children, subtly feeling such an attitude, either hide your gift, or completely refuse From him.
On the other hand, the practice of such abilities as clairvoyance and clairvoyance is enough safe. There are many technician, that allow develop a person has similar psychic abilities, almost regardless of his initial level. Teaching extrasensory perception is to learn more subtly perceive signals, received from the outside world. As a rule, such signals clogged the logic to which completely accustomed rely most modern people. But relying entirely on logical perception is like trying to fly with one wing important for a harmonious life combine logic with extrasensory perception.
Often, psychic abilities manifest themselves in people in situations where complexity emerging tasks exceeds the capabilities of logical thinking and at the same time is quite high price of error- for example, life. There are many stories about how a person in extreme situations was helped inner voice, which prompted the only correct solution. There are still many facts of the manifestation of extrasensory abilities in various conditions. altered consciousness, which arise either for natural reasons, or are associated with the intake of various drugs (for example, psychotropic).
extrasensory perception known to mankind for many thousands of years and now the most urgent task in this area is correct using this gift so that extrasensory perception allows people to gain harmony, discover and develop new abilities, not used to harm.
