Psychics possess a sixth sense that allows them to gather information beyond the normal senses, which can be utilized for healing, advising, and predicting the future. While everyone has some psychic potential, it often remains undeveloped, but can be enhanced through practice and training. To foster psychic development, individuals should spend time alone, connect with nature, trust their gut feelings, and engage their imagination.

Developing Your Psychic Ability


develop = improve
psychic (noun) = a person who can foretell the future events and who can inform people of the location of things or
people at the moment
psychic (adjective) = related to our sixth sense and our ability to foretell the future and locate people and things

Psychics are people who can get information about people, places, or situations through a sixth sense — a sense that
exists in addition to those of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching. They can use their psychic ability to
heal people who are sick, to give advice, to give hints about the future, and to do many other things. And it's not just
individuals who use psychics; sometimes companies and governments use psychics, too. One year a company called
Delphi and Associate earned $120,000 on the stock market with the help of psychics. And the CIA (the U.S. Central
Intelligence Agency) got help from a psychic in the 1970s. This psychic was able to make a detailed drawing of an
important place in Russia.

through = by using
sixth sense = intuition; gut feeling
intuition = knowledge without learning or proof; gut feeling
exist (v.) = be; have existence
in addition to = besides; as well as; on top of
heal = cure, treat
hint = clue
individual = a person
stock market = stock exchange
intelligence = information about the activities of your enemy
the 1970s = from the beginning of the year 1970 up to the end of the year 1979
detailed ≠ brief
detailed ≠ brief

"So how can I get some psychic help?" you may ask yourself. Well, you don't have to pay a lot of money to a
professional psychic. You can start by using your own psychic ability. Everyone has a psychic sense, but most of us
never learn to use it. You probably won't immediately be able to draw detailed pictures of faraway places you have
never visited, but your psychic sense can help you in other ways. For example, maybe you will make better choices
about a job, or maybe you will "know" when there is something wrong and you need to call home right away.

immediately = right away; quickly


faraway = remote; distant

Psychic abilities are really just another sense, similar to our other five senses. The difference is that we never
develop our psychic sense in the same way that we develop our other senses. We train our eyes to see the difference
between a V and a U; we train our ears to hear the difference between a /ch/ and a /sh/ sound; we can feel the
difference between silk and leather; we can smell and taste if milk is sour. But our sixth sense, our psychic sense,
seldom develops very much. Because most of us ignore our psychic sense for so long, it takes some time to develop
it. If you have never played soccer before, you cannot expect to be a good player after three lessons. It might take
years to become really good. Psychic ability works the same way.

train = teach
silk = a kind of expensive soft cloth
leather = the material that we get from the skin of animals for making clothes, bags or shoes
sour = having an acid taste like lemon or vinegar
ignore = disregard, overlook ≠ pay attention to

To prepare yourself to work on your psychic development, you will need to do several things, including the
following:

include = consist of ≠ exclude


including = consisting of

Make time to be alone. It is difficult to concentrate with other people around. Pay attention to nature. Nature will
give you more inspiration than man-made objects.

concentrate (v.) = focus


concentration (n.) = focus
inspire (v.) = motivate
inspiration (n.) = motivation
man-made = artificial ≠ natural
object = thing

Learn to trust your "gut feelings". As adults, we have often lost touch with our "gut feelings". To develop your
psychic powers, you need to try to turn off your brain, eyes, ears, etc., and feel those "gut feelings" again.

trust = rely on
gut feeling = what your heart tells you
lose touch with = not be in contact with

Develop your imagination. Developing your imagination will help you develop your psychic ability. An important
step is to turn off your TV. When we watch TV, our imagination and our psychic sense grow very lazy. A good
teacher or book can give you some exercises to gradually develop and control your psychic ability. You may be
surprised at the things you can "see" in people, places, or situations once you know how to look with your psychic
"third eye".

imagination = your ability to think of things which do not exist in the world at the moment
step = pace, stride
grow = become
gradually = little by little

Sample Summary:
Psychics are people who claim to have a sixth sense that allows them to get information beyond the normal senses.
Psychics can use their ability for various purposes, such as healing, advising, or predicting the future. Psychics are
sometimes used by companies and governments, such as Delphi and Associate and the CIA, to gain an edge in the
stock market or espionage. Everyone has some psychic potential, but most people do not develop it. One can use
their own psychic sense to make better decisions or to sense danger. Psychic abilities are a sixth sense that most
people do not develop or use. Psychic abilities can be improved with practice and training, just like any other skill.
Some ways to prepare for psychic development are: making time to be alone, paying attention to nature, trusting
your gut feelings, developing your imagination, and doing exercises to enhance your psychic vision.
