4 Signs You Might Be Psychic – How to Know

Sometimes we think we might be psychic. This article lists 4 signs that may help you figure out if you are psychic, really.

You Might Be Psychic: My 4 Signs

I recently came across an article on Oprah’s media channel called “4 Signs You Might Be Psychic” by Laura Lynn Jackson, author of The Light Between Us: Stories from Heaven, Lessons for the Living.

She mentioned that having a couple of glasses of wine can make us more insightful, because we relax.

Well, that may be true. Several years ago, I was out on a date with my now ex-husband and ordered an after-dinner liqueur coffee. Love those things.

The drink was strong, and I got a little jolly, playful even. We started talking about psychic ability, and I joked that I had to be careful not to be voyeuristic in restaurants.

Psychic Challenges – Invading Privacy Can Be Karmic

To challenge me, my then-husband told me to pick someone.

I looked over at a man sitting at the bar, opened my psychic awareness, and “saw” enormous fish swimming around his head. I relayed this information to my husband.

When it was time to go, I stepped outside while my husband paid the bill. When he came out, he looked shocked.

He said, “You were right about that guy at the bar! I overheard him talking—he’s here for a big bass fishing competition.”

I was so surprised I hit my head on the truck door! That’ll teach me not to be so energetically nosy next time.

A cautionary tale, and now, on to my four signs that you might be psychic. (By the way, I don’t use my gift like that anymore.)

A Note on Alcohol and Intuition

In more recent years, I’ve learned that alcohol can make the edges of your energy field “floppy.” Drinking is definitely something to avoid if you’re using your psychic or intuitive skills professionally.

When I rewatched the series Medium, about evidentiary medium Allison Dubois, I noticed how, early on, she used alcohol to dull her sensitivity. That was an aha! moment for me.

Back to 4 Signs You Might Be Psychic

There are, of course, more signs you might be psychic than just these four. This is a simple shortlist to help you get started.

There are lots of ways of being psychic, and many different ways to figure this out.

1. You Rely on Alcohol, Sugar, or Another Substance to Calm Down

After watching Medium, I realized I often turn to sugar—specifically chocolate—when I feel overwhelmed.

Eating chocolate immediately stops me from processing energetic information.

It’s like flipping an “off” switch. So some forms of overwhelm may actually be a desire to shut down the intuitive process.

These days, I rely more on meditation, chanting, clearing my energy field, and proper sleep to calm down. They help far more than chocolate ever did.

2. Some Places Just Give You the Creeps

Ever walked into a house or location and instantly felt uncomfortable for no apparent reason? That sensitivity to place is a psychic skill.

You might be picking up on the energy of the environment: ley lines, emotional imprints from past events, or even disembodied spirits.

Once, I stayed in a haunted hotel and had a very unusual experience as a result. So yes—if you’re sensitive to spaces like that, you might be a psychic medium.

3. You Can Tell When Someone Isn’t Being Honest—and You’re Often Right

Some people have a soul-level knack for observation. It’s almost like an inbuilt lie detector.

If you’re especially tuned in, you could be using clairsentience—the psychic sense of “clear feeling.” This means you can sense when someone’s outer behavior doesn’t match their inner truth.

Energy speaks through the emotions we feel in the presence of others. This is one of the hallmarks of intuitive or psychic awareness.

4. You Just Know When Something’s Going to Happen

Maybe you get a vision, a thought, or a gut feeling, and later realize you were right. That’s called precognition.

As you develop spiritually, you might notice these moments happening more often. If so, start a journal. Date and time-stamp your predictions; you’ll soon know whether your insights are truly psychic or just a coincidence.

Just today, I told my partner to say hello to a mutual friend he was sure he wouldn’t see. He laughed and said, “She doesn’t even work in that building anymore!”

Later that evening, he came home shaking his head. He’d gone out to dinner with a colleague, and guess who walked in? The very friend I mentioned.

Now that’s a solid sign I might be psychic, right there.

So—Do Any of These Signs Sound Familiar?

If any of these ring true for you, you might just have a touch of the intuitive yourself. The key is to stay grounded, self-aware, and discerning as you explore your sensitivity.
