Modern Mysticism: How To Activate Your Psychic Abilities After a Spiritual Awakening

Have you recently gone through a spiritual awakening and received a few spiritual messages? 

While a spiritual awakening can be hard and wild, sometimes, in the chaos of it, you have a psychic moment—a second of spiritual clarity where you feel like you received a divine message. Once you have that psychic moment, it's hard not to want to dive deeper into it. 

There is a common misconception that you have to be born psychic in order to connect with your psychic abilities, but that is not true. We all have access to psychic information. You just have to learn how to connect with it. 

So, here is how you become a modern mystic and activate your psychic abilities after a spiritual awakening. 

Get Access To Your Intuition With Meditation

Is this my solution for most things? Yes, but it works, and it’s free to start doing. 

When you meditate, you start to train your mind to quiet down so you can listen to your inner wisdom. 

In this modern, fast-paced world, thoughts run wild. You’re constantly being stimulated by everything, and so many different things demand your attention throughout the day. When you’re stuck in this chaos all the time, you’re not able to take the time to tap into your intuition or psychic abilities. 

Guided meditations are helpful for beginners and neurodivergent people because the monkey mind struggle is real! Instead of sitting quietly, clearing your mind of all thoughts (yeah, right), and focusing on your breathing, a guided meditation connects to the story center of your brain, helping you walk through a new world within your mind. 

These types of guided meditations can make meditating more accessible and help you unlock your clairs. 

What Are The Clairs

We all have access to the seven clair senses. You may be most familiar with clairvoyance, but there are six other clairs you can tap into. 

Clairvoyance

Clairvoyance means “clear seeing.” It is when you can see images or messages clearly in your mind's eye. The images can come in flashes, like taking a picture, or they can play out, like watching a movie. 

Clairaudience

Clairaudience means “clear hearing.” When you access your clairaudience, you can hear messages. Sometimes, those messages could be verbal messages through your mind's ear or a brief ringing in your ears. Most people notice ringing as the first sign of clairaudience. 

Claircognizance

Claircognizance means “clear knowing.” Knowing and understanding are two different things. When you understand something, you can put reasons or context to it. But sometimes, when you just know something, there is no reason for it. You just know. That is what claircognizance feels like. You have an inner knowing of something without a particular reason why you know it. 

Clairsentience

Clairsentience means “clear feeling.” This sense often works in tandem with one of the other senses. Sometimes, it is a confirmation that the thought that just popped into your head was a message because you had chills after thinking it. Chills, tingling, and any other physical feeling could all be clairsentient signs that you can use as spiritual confirmation. 

Clairempathy

Clairempathy means “clear emotion.” When you can feel the emotions of another person, animal, or residual energy on an object or place, you are accessing your clairempathy. A sudden rush of emotions, not attached to anything relating to you, could be your clairempathy at work. 

Clairgustance

Clairgustance means “clear taste.” This is not the most common clair sense. Having a random taste in your mouth could be clairgustance at work. It could act as a confirmation of another clair sense message or add more context to a message, such as tasting your past loved one's favorite food after hearing a message about them. 

Clairsalience  

Clairsalience means “clear smell.” Suddenly, smelling your grandmother's perfume while you're driving in the car could be a sign that your grandmother is visiting you. Smelling cigarette smoke around your house when no one smokes in it could be a sign that it's time to cleanse it.

How Do You Open Your Clairs?

The first thing to do is try to connect with and be aware of your clairs. Notice those moments when you just know something. If a random image or words pop into your head, explore that. You know what they say: Practice makes progress! 

If you want to tap into a specific sense related to a question you have, try asking the question and sitting quietly for a moment to see if you have a spiritual download. This is where meditation becomes very helpful. If you haven’t learned how to calm your monkey mind yet, it makes it much more difficult to receive messages. 

Helpful Tools

Tools are great ways to support spiritual growth, strengthen psychic abilities, and validate or clarify messages. 

Tarot and Oracle Card Reading

Card decks can be a great way of practicing and honing your psychic abilities. Both tarot and oracle decks come with guidebooks to help you learn the messages and themes of the cards. With its guidance, you can start to tap into your clair senses to determine what messages resonate with you. 

Tarot is great for those who feel they need more structure when beginning a card practice. There is a lot of information on symbolism, card meanings, and card placement, which can provide a more rigid guide to lean on while you are learning to tap into your intuition. 

Oracle cards provide less rigid guidance and can encourage you to lean more on your intuition to discover its meaning for you. Oracle cards can be highly personal, with each deck style having its own vibe channeled from its creators. Choose a deck that resonates with you for clearer messages. 

Pendulums and Dowsing Rods

If you need a quick validation tool or just want straightforward yes or no answers to your questions, pendulums or dowsing rods will be right up your alley.

Pendulums are inexpensive and can easily fit in a small pocket, making them easy to always keep with you for divination on the go. They swing one way for yes and the other way for no, so if you get a message but aren’t sure if it was a message, simply ask your pendulum for confirmation. If you have further questions about the message you received, you can ask yes or no questions to gain clarity. 

Dowsing rods act the same way. They cross for yes or move farther apart for no. However, since they are larger metal rods, they are less portable. Some people prefer dowsing rods over pendulums because your subtle movements can influence them less. 

Spiritual Awakening and Psychic Activation with Reiki

If you are experiencing a spiritual awakening and are overwhelmed by its intensity or want to activate your psychic abilities quickly, Reiki is also a helpful tool. 

A Reiki practitioner can manipulate energy to remove spiritual blocks and help balance spiritual energy, making the awakening process easier and more fluid. 

If you’ve started noticing messages through your clair senses and have practiced honing them but feel like something is blocking you, Reiki can help remove those blockages so you can access them more easily.
