Everyone is psychic; we are all born with this ability. But to whether we choose to recognise this and want it, it is up to us.  Some people do indeed wish to develop their psychic abilities; others on the other hand wish to ignore it. 

It also depends on our upbringing as children to whether we wish to carry on using our psychic abilities, a lot depends on the parents and how they were brought up.  Some parents understand and encourage their children about such things; some deplore any such things only because really themselves they were brought up that way not to believe. 

All children are psychic, but as I said earlier a lot depends on how they are brought up.  A child is full of innocence and will openly tell you what they see or sense.  It is not until they enter the world of science and logic that they begin to question such things.  When we start to question doubt creeps in and we begin to search for logical scientific answers.

There is a difference between psychics and mediums.  A psychic reader is able to read the energy and what ever is presence in the living person’s aura.  The aura is the energy field that surrounds our entire body, everything we have ever said, done or thought is recorded in our auras.  A psychic is very sensitive person and they can pick up the energy that they sense from that aura.

A psychic can also read any energy that has been left impressed on any inanimate objects. In other words they can hold an object and feel any impressions and vibrations left on it, this is called psychomentry.  Everything around us is made up of energy.

All mediums are psychic but not all psychics are mediums.

Psychics use tools to focus and give readings, like tarot cards or like the inanimate objects as mentioned earlier.  When ever someone holds something then lets it go they leave an energy imprint on that object, no matter how long ago they held it the energy around the object will still be there, a good psychic can pick up on this energy and so therefore give a reading from it to the sitter.

A medium does not use tools, a medium tunes into the energy that they sense around them, they are like telephone receivers, they pick up the thoughts and vibrations from those discarnate souls that are no longer on our material earth plain.

A medium has no tools, they just pass on any messages that spirit may be giving them to the sitter receiving the reading. A medium bridges the gap between our material earth plane to the spirit realms.
