Working As A Paranormal Psychic

If you feel you've been blessed with the gift of clairvoyance, then you'll find there are many different ways to make a living as a paranormal psychic. It's important that you're familiar with the different jobs so you can decide which area suits you best. Some intuitive people prefer to work online or by phone, while others prefer in-person readings. You may work for an agency or work for yourself. To excel in this field, you must also be naturally caring, positive and truthful, and open to learning more about paranormal powers.

Do you feel you have paranormal psychic gifts? Are you wondering how you can explore and further those talents, or perhaps even make some money while doing so? There are a number of resources for the individual who is intrigued by the paranormal, but it could take some time to get established in the field. Not everyone can host a show like Ghost Hunters, Crossing Over With John Edwards or Paranormal State, after all. You may want to consider career paths online, in a psychic community or working for the police.

While two-thirds of all police departments in America's 50 largest metropolitan areas say they have never used a paranormal psychic before, there are still many who have consulted mediums for help with homicides, kidnappings and burglaries.

In the meantime, you may use your gifts to work as a detective, an entertainer or a clairvoyant medium. There are many career paths for those with paranormal powers.

Most people with paranormal supernatural abilities realized they had unusual abilities as young as five years of age. Many had detailed dream visions that wound up being true. They may have had frequent recurrences of deja vu. Some hear voices with detailed information that they later find corresponds to a particular event. Commonly, psychics write down their thoughts, images, impressions and emotions in a diary to see if they're onto something. If you feel you may be gifted with paranormal psychic abilities, then you may want to consider using your talents in a rewarding career as a spiritualist medium.

There are many different types of paranormal psychic abilities. Some people have the ability to speak to paranormal spirits, while others may be able to accurately predict future events. Some paranormal supernatural abilities allow people the gift of accessing information by touching an object. Those with the gift of clairvoyance can see things beyond normal vision. Mediums may view apparitions or see visions that may only make sense to the person they are reading. Sometimes clairvoyants can see events unfolding in present time at another location. Perhaps you have seen people demonstrate these abilities on TV shows or in movies.

The paranormal psychic senses align to our normal senses of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch -- but are heightened variations. For example, clairaudience is the ability to hear things the normal ear cannot detect, such as the voices of spirits. Clairalience is the ability to smell odors that have no physical source, such as flowers that a deceased person once loved, perfume from a beloved aunt, or cigar smoke of a grandfather. Clairsentience involves the ability of a person to strongly feel another's pain or emotions. This extreme level of empathy can be very psychically draining on the gifted. People with this ability can taste something that isn't really there. For instance, they may suddenly taste grandma's chocolate brownies out of nowhere. Claircognizance is the acquiring of knowledge that one would not normally have, which may also be called a premonition. These paranormal supernatural abilities are usually experienced as children and continue into adulthood.

Though there are many frauds in the industry, there are undoubtedly some people with uncanny paranormal psychic abilities that they seem to have been born with. For example, some people may touch a door knob and be flooded with emotions and knowledge of a past event that took place in that particular room. Other mediums may experience a vision of an event unfolding in another place in the current moment, or may receive a vision as a message for a subject they are reading. Some people smell, taste or hear things that aren't there, which correspond to a deceased person. Occasionally, mediums will be able to communicate with paranormal spirits as well.

As a paranormal psychic, you may choose to work for a psychic website. Before you are accepted, you will be put through a careful screening process so the site maintains its professional reputation. One site to consider is www.infiniteadvice.com, which pays by the minute and delivers cash by Paypal or check once a month. You can do chat, email or phone readings through this site. Another site is www.keen.com, which allows you to charge whatever you want and gain ratings that can help you boost your reputation. At www.werlive.com, you can set up a user profile and work whatever schedule you'd like. Other paranormal groups enabling you to field psychic medium calls include www.asknow.com and www.phonefate.com. The psychic industry is very competitive and may pay as much as 50% commission or $12-$15 per hour of talk time.

More advanced paranormal psychic opportunities exist if you'd prefer to work in-person. The oldest and most well-known spiritualist communities in America include the Lily Dale Assembly in Upstate New York and the Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp in Florida. Or you may choose to practice in one of the other paranormal supernatural communities like: The Spiritual Awareness Community in Bend, Oregon; The Celebrate Life Spiritualist Community in San Francisco, California; the Circle of Inner Light Spiritualist Community in Cleveland, Ohio; The Chesterfield Camp in Indiana; or the Lake Harriet Spiritualist Community in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Here, you may give readings, practice tarot cards, participate in group sessions, network and live among other psychics. Most face-to-face mediums charge $50 to $100 per hour session.

There are also paranormal psychic opportunities to work as an entertainer. Notable personalities like Sylvia Brown, James Van Praagh, Uri Geller, David Blaine and John Edwards got their start working at parties, making their own videos, writing books, and entertaining public crowds on the streets. Soon they were able to host sell-out performances in auditoriums and work on their own TV shows. Of course, this level of success in the paranormal activity field isn't achievable for everyone, so it's important that you keep your day job in the meantime. This demanding career takes a lot of drive and persistence as you gain word-of-mouth notoriety.

Sometimes a paranormal psychic uses mystery paranormal tools to gain insight. For instance, tarot cards can give a medium a glimpse of the past, present and future through special symbols on a card deck. Other mediums may read the pattern of loose tea leaves after their subject drinks the tea and dumps the cup. Crystal balls, mirrors and water may help a mystic to see visions of the future. Twenty-four rune stones are used to show answers to some of life's questions. Pendulums will answer a "yes or no" question by swinging in one direction or the other. Other spiritualists have received messages through automatic writing exercises. It's best to try out multiple tools to see which -- if any -- work for you.
