I believe all God's children all around the world are born with psychic abilities. We are complete beings: body, mind, and spirit.

The amount of the human brain that a person actually uses is so minute compared to what is available for our use. So much of our brain is not touched. Those who do develop a portion of these unused brain cells are either called geniuses or freaks.

We also are spiritual beings in a human body.We are able to reach out and touch other spirits, living or dead. I can just hear a reader saying, "Hold on there! I have never experienced anything even remotely like that." Don't be so sure. I'm sure everyone has had a hunch or an unexplained opportunity, but we contribute it to luck or coincidences. Have you felt a loved one next to you, but brushed it off because they were dead?

Even though I believe we all have the potential to show psychic ability, we are not all evenly endowed with the same amount of talent. Just like every other talent some are more gifted than others. I believe we all are blessed with these abilities when we are born. We experienced a prophetic dream or saw something which we couldn't explain. How people reacted to our revelations has made a difference in how we developed these abilities. If these experiences were ignored or brushed off, we soon learned to ignore them. Or if the experiences frightened us, we were not so open to let them re-occur.

On the other hand if these childhood experiences were taken seriously and openly discussed, and you were allowed to feel that these experiences were not weird but normal; if you were even encouraged in your abilities you would be more likely to follow those hunches and do what ever it took to have more.

When I was younger I would know answers to things I had no way of knowing, I could predict when good news was in the mail, I had prophetic dreams. I didn't think anything about it. It wasn't until I was older that I realized that not everyone had developed their talent. I felt unusual and started not following my abilities. Psychic talents are like any other talents. Your psychic talents need to be practiced and nourished the same as any other talents. It's totally up to you how much or how little you want to develop these talents. But just because a lot is not known about these talents, don't be afraid. Trust that inner voice and inner eye. It's part of you.
