Psychic abilities for beginners: the 3 basics to start with

Tapping into your psychic abilities: the basics. My name is Victoria Bond. I'm a psychic medium and a spiritual empowerment coach. I'm also a mum of two beautiful children. I am a wife, a sister, a friend, a daughter. I am just like you, and I have the ability to tap into Spirit and to teach all that I download and experience. So in this video, we're going to go through the three fundamentals of the basics of how you can tap into your psychic mediumship abilities.

I've done many videos like this before, but of course there's always another layer, and I want to strip it all the way back to the basics. Because there are so many trainings and coaches and, of course, guides telling us how to do these things, but if we miss the basics, we are missing massive, big, pivotal parts of how to tap into our psychic abilities. Therefore, if we're missing those parts, it's nearly impossible to tap in.

So here are the three main fundamentals I want to go through today. The first one is understanding your human body as a psychic ability resource. Your human body is a resource for you to tap into your ability. The second one is, what is your genius gift? Everyone has a genius gift, so we're going to go into how you can find out or enhance your genius gift. Number three is how to tap into your psychic abilities. How do we have the likes of all of the famous mediums that are continuously producing evidence and confirmation with their psychic abilities? There is a little secret to that, which I want to share with you today.

So I want to share with you, before we go into those three training tips, that from my own experience I have realised that my shadows are also my abilities. What I mean by that is, there's a mirror. So often when we're looking at something, we're like, oh my goodness, my life is exploding, or, I always have this particular problem, or this particular shadow comes up and it shakes me, it rattles me. If we look at the polar opposite of what that is, the light of that shadow, we will often see a gift.

So I'm going to tell you a couple of the things that happened to me when I flipped the script. I realised that that particular shadow, or that crumble or rupture, whatever you want to call it, was actually a gift that I was able to unwrap and see the beauty within. So while I'm telling you about this, I want you to see what resonates with you, and maybe have a little think about what are your shadows, your thorns in the side right now, your pain, your hurt or your challenges. I want you to have a look into that, and don't be afraid of that, because on the opposite side is the light of that. And when we flip it around, we can actually see a lot of our gifts.

So when I was waking up to my psychic abilities, I could not sleep. My sleep was so bad that I was what I would call an insomniac. I had two little babies, and my babies weren't sleeping either, so that didn't help. But I would lie there at night and I would have buzzing, or my ears would be popping, or I would feel like someone was calling my name. So if I drifted off, you know when you get that kind of shock when you start going to sleep, and then you're like, boom, and you kind of shock out of it, and you're like, oh, what was happening? That happened to me all the time. It's like I couldn't leave my body to actually go to sleep. I just wasn't safe in my body. It was like I was always on. I was sleeping next to my husband, and I could feel his electricity as well. I always went into that slight dream mode, but it was like a snooze, not a deep sleep.

Why am I emphasising this so deeply? Because by me feeling the popping, the buzzing, by feeling like someone's saying my name, so I would be like, boom, and by waking up, by feeling my husband's electricity, by feeling the static in the room, Spirit was trying to talk to me. When I flipped the script, Spirit was trying to talk to me and get my attention. When I wasn't running around after the kids or in my hairdressing business, I was lying there. I was coming into stillness in my body, and literally I was buzzing. Even though I was exhausted, Spirit was trying to talk to me, because I was more receptive. But I didn't know how to listen.

So that shadow has now turned into the light, and now I'm able to get a good night's sleep, because I put in protocols, so I am with me. I even sleep alone a lot of the time, because I can feel the electricity of another person sleeping next to me. I want to be clean in my aura.

Which brings me to the second shadow. So not only was I having mind chatter when I was sleeping, I was having mind chatter during the day. My brain was constantly looping with the same thought, or even the same song. So you may notice that there's a part of a chorus of a song. This happened with me with music. Music was nearly over stimulating for me. So what would actually happen is, I would get a part of a chorus and it would go over and over and over again, as well as like ten people talking to me in my head. Mind chatter was my shadow. It was the bane of my existence. I just could not shut my head up, ever. Constantly moving, constantly fast, like a continuous roller coaster of mind chatter.

When I realised that this mind chatter wasn't really the norm for me, and in fact it was really kind of overtaking my reality, I flipped the script, and I realised, this is Spirit trying to talk to me. Within my mind chatter, this is Spirit trying to talk to me. So what am I going to do about that? Because I can't walk around all day with ten people in my head, as well as trying to be a contribution to the world, be a mother, be a daughter, be a sister, be a friend, be a lover. So I created the stillness to speak to Spirit in a very scheduled way. This stopped the mind chatter. I also hired a coach, and they helped me break the patterns, because it wasn't just Spirit trying to talk to me. It was patterns and loops that I had created by overthinking. But what I want you to get here is, the mind chatter was actually Spirit speaking to me. When I flipped the script, the dark was transmuted into light.

The other shadow that I went through was being able to read people's minds. Now, I found this very intense to begin with. What that means is, I'm able to literally read other people's minds when I'm in enough stillness to actually receive. And this is what makes me a great psychic and a great coach, because I know what people are really thinking, rather than what they are saying. I can smell a rat. I can sense if something is off as well. And this is an ability I've always had, obviously, but I didn't know how to use it.

So the shadow of this was, when I'm standing in front of somebody and they're thinking something about my parenting, or something about my relationship, or anything about me, I knew what they were thinking. And this was really intense, because here I am, I'm a new mum, I've got two little children, and my self esteem is on the floor. I'm not sleeping. I've literally got mind chatter going on. Life is going so fast, it's like it's on fast forward, and I just cannot keep up. And here I am reading people's minds.

But what I realised, when I sat with this long enough and I was asking Spirit, what is with this reading of the mind, was, it is Spirit talking to me. Every one of these things is Spirit talking to me. Why am I sharing this with you? Because Spirit is always talking to you, within anywhere you're at, within your shadows, within your light. And it's always within the challenges, within that script that we have created. There is an opposite to that, which is the light.

So when it came to picking up what someone was thinking, I was like, how do I deal with this? Because my standards and my boundaries were all over the shop. I didn't know how to have those. This is what I implemented in my life, and this is what I now teach. So what I did with that was, I realised that Spirit is trying to talk to me, by telling me, right, you have got these psychic abilities. And a little secret: Spirit is me. I am Spirit, you are Spirit, and you have a human body.

So reading minds is one of my abilities. But when you're loosey goosey, when you've got no standards and no boundaries, if you've got any type of energetic leaks, then what happens is you start playing in the shadow, in the patterns of what you have learned. And we must unlearn and decondition from where we have come from, and then learn what is the light of those shadows. How do we flip the script and make this into gold? So that's my personal experience I wanted to share with you really briefly. What is the hard thing in your life, the hard thing that just keeps repeating itself? Because I want you to find the light of that. Just take a moment to sit in stillness and ask the question, what is the light of the shadow, and trust that it's going to come through whenever it's meant to come through.

Okay, so let's get into this training, shall we? Number one is understanding your human body as your psychic abilities resource. This body has been bypassed for so long, especially in the spiritual world. People talk about spiritual bypassing. I talk about human bypassing. We are often bypassing our human. To be a beautiful medium, or a psychic, or a coach, or whatever it is you want to be in the world, a beautiful human being, you've got to acknowledge your body. And this is something we have been taught, programmed and conditioned to ignore, to not brag about or celebrate. We're always looking for the next wrinkle.

When you've got a tummy ache, when you've got a headache, when you've got a pain in your arm, it's all telling you something. This is your resource manual for your soul, for your spirit. As long as you're bypassing and blaming your body for not keeping up with your spirit, you are not tapping into your psychic abilities, or you won't be able to hold your psychic abilities in a way that you truly desire. Your capacity can be this big. It can be as big as the world and beyond. The sky's not even your limit when it comes to your psychic abilities, because they're coming from your soul. But if you're bypassing your human body, if you're unconsciously eating, if you're not moving, if you don't have an understanding of how the energy systems and the meridians work. You don't need to have a logical understanding. I'm not a book person, but I know my body. I know if there's an ache here or a feeling here, then it's time to go into my body.

Your human body is the biggest resource for your psychic abilities. Write it down: my human body is the biggest resource to tap into my psychic abilities. She or he is always speaking to you, moment to moment to moment, in your intuition. You feel a little bit off, and you're like, ooh, I'm not feeling very comfortable, I'm feeling a little bit contracted right now. That is like a no. That means no. So this is a guide. We need a guide book, but it has to be your guide book. What does a no mean for you? To tap into your psychic abilities, to be a medium, you need to understand what your no is. And so many people come to me and they go, I don't know what my yes is and I don't know what my no is. And I'm like, well, better go over and talk to your body. Go figure it out.

So generally, for me, a contracted feeling or a sinking feeling is a no. And if I'm walking around my house and I'm like, why am I feeling this feeling, what conversations have I just had? Maybe I had a conversation with a friend, or with my partner, or maybe it's something to do with the school, or the collective, something I saw on the TV, that feels kind of sinking and contracted. That's not for my highest good. That is not vibrationally aligned with where I'm going. That's a no. What do I do about that? I clean up the energy.

Your human body is here to help you. How do you get aligned into your psychic abilities? You get aligned by getting aligned here. How do you do this? Through dance, through breath work, by hugging another human, by eye gazing, by patting an animal, by slowing down, somatic practices, coming into our body. Why is this so important? I can see some people right now probably going, oh my god, I just want to know how to do the thing. You cannot bypass your human. You cannot bypass this resource. It is so much better to get an appliance and read the manual than to try to figure out how to work it. This is a complex machine, and this machine will not be here forever. It's continuously growing and shifting and shedding. Literally always evolving.

Listen to your body every single day. Check in, just like a pendulum. I'm always checking in. What is the yes today, what is the no today? Never presuming it was the same as yesterday. What does she need today? Yoga, stillness, sleep, love, comfort, nurturing. What does the body need? The body is the biggest resource. And once we understand our own blueprint, which is within the human body, we can tap into our psychic abilities way, way quicker. Your design is a blueprint which is completely different and unique to you. Nobody else in the world has a blueprint like you do. It's as unique as a fingerprint. So that there is how we tap into our human body as a resource.

So number two is your genius, your genius gift to the world, when it comes to your psychic abilities. This is very simple. I'm going to keep this one really, really simple. You have a genius. Your genius is a thing that you are good at, this genius that you have, the thing that you're good at. The chances are that you think everyone's good at it, and you're not special. The chances are you may think that everybody has this ability, and it's just a choice, and it's super easy for you, it's no big deal. Here is the thing. It is a big deal. It is a big deal that you are great at talking, or you are great at listening, or you are great at perceiving in between the lines of what someone is saying, or you can feel if someone is having an identity crisis, or you can read minds, or you can help people feel more grounded. Everyone has a gift, a genius, that is so easy for them. And there's more than one. You have more than one thing that you're brilliant at.

Before I was doing my psychic mediumship, before I was doing spiritual empowerment coaching, I was doing business building. I would learn something and teach something, but that wasn't my genius. I was good at it. I learned it. But your genius doesn't need to be learned. So when my coach at the time said, it's kind of crazy that you're not doing the spiritual stuff, because you're so good at it, it's so easy for you, I said, no one's ever going to pay me to be a psychic medium, to teach mediumship. It's something I just know. It's something that I just do, and it's so easy for me. Once I had flipped the script from the shadow to the light, of course, it was all perspective. And my coach was like, okay, you do you. That is my genius. My genius is to speak, to convey in a story way: this is what I did, and how does this apply to you?

So this is the task I want to give you. What is the thing that you're so good at? And if you don't know, that is okay. Often we don't know what it is, because it's so easy for us. We just think everybody else has the same ability, but no one can do it like you can. What do you love doing that you could do all day and never get tired? Talk about Spirit, maybe. Talk about ancestors, maybe. Listen to a friend, and give them advice, and just hear what they have to say. What is the thing that's so easy for you?

I was on a clarity call before, and the lady said, you know, people just tell me things. Literally, I'm in the supermarket and they'll just open up and tell me everything. And I was like, oh yeah, that's my genius too. People will come to me and they'll be like, this happened, and then this happened, and then this happened. And I'm like, wow, thank you for sharing all of that, that's big stuff. And they're like, wow, I've never told anyone that, and I've just met you. That is a genius that you have. Because if you can acknowledge that you have this gift, the world will acknowledge it too. The universe will meet you where you are at. This is how you tap into your psychic abilities: by knowing what your genius gift is to the world, and then implementing action.

So we're going to go on to the third fundamental, which is, how do I tap into my psychic abilities? So we've gone over the body and we've gone over the genius. These are things that you might want to integrate and work on. And this is my point for this third one. To tap into your psychic abilities, you need to practice. The famous mediums don't just sit around on their couch watching and not implementing. They learn, or they just channel their genius. It's a mixture of learning and channelling and being in the genius. But what they do is, they action things. To be psychic, to tap into your abilities, is not to just watch something and go, oh, that was interesting. It is to take action.

Connect in with your body. How does my body speak to me? Sometimes I get a pain in the side of my head, and I'm like, what does that mean? Oh, that might mean I need to actually come into a bit of a reprieve with my body and go meditate. Your body is always talking to you. Spirit is always talking to you. You have a genius that the world needs to hear, read or listen to, whatever it is. We need to be available for our gifts, which are already within us. And you access that through your body, through somatics. You access that within stillness. You access that by learning from others, because your blueprints are interweaving and you are learning off each other.

And then the third piece is, you must do something about it. Get your deck of cards, if that feels like it resonates, or get your pendulum. Or go and ask your parents, or your partner, or your friends: what do you think I'm really good at? I do this with all my clients when they come to me. I want you to go and ask your partner or your friend, what is the thing that I'm so good at? Because you may not see it. For me, I asked my friends and I asked my family, and they said, your ability to tap into Spirit and your psychic mediumship stuff, that is the most fascinating thing, and you're very, very good at it. And I'm like, but that's the thing that's effortless. I think I'm a better business coach, aren't I? I put more energy and effort into my business coaching. And they said, no, you're fascinating when you talk about Spirit. I didn't know it until others confirmed that.

So what is your genius? What are you so good at, and how can you implement that into your day to day life? I often recommend getting a book and writing on it, my genius, my psychic abilities, and just start jotting down anything that resonates with you. Or maybe you've got the notes on your phone, and you can have a folder where you're popping all the stuff that you're super fascinated by, and delve into those things that interest you. But always take action. Speak it out to someone. Write it down in your journal. Dance it out. Embody it. Ask if you can use your abilities to help somebody else. Whatever the urge is that seems to be so easy for you, that is exactly how you tap into your psychic gifts.

The basics of tapping into your psychic abilities is coming into yourself, feeling yourself, knowing yourself, being still within yourself, and asking others what it is about you that they love the most. Because there will be a thread of the same thing. They'll all be like, it's this, it's this, it's this. And you'll be like, but that's so easy. That is the thing that will get you closer to being your psychic, being the medium, being the Spirit that you already be. Spirit is always talking to you. You are Spirit. Your shadow and your light are a mirror of one another. Wherever your focus goes, that's where your energy flows.

So what are you going to take from this? What is the thing that makes you go, oh, I require to tap into that, or maybe, I'm doing that, so what is the next step? Your life can transform again and again and again. It doesn't matter where you are on this journey. What does matter is that you're always growing. If you were already perfect, there'd be nowhere to grow to. I was sitting in the energy this morning of my growth and my evolution, and there was something very, very familiar in that feeling, and that was the essence of growth. I'm here to grow. I'm here to continuously evolve, continuously learn. And every space and place that I'm at, in the now, is exactly where I'm meant to be. Use your psychic ability resource. Your body is here to help you complete your mission and live on purpose, in your purpose, while you're here on planet Earth.
