But, we all have the ability to sense things. When we allow ourselves, our intuition can often be right on the money. Your intuition can be developed further and here's how.

6 ways you can improve your psychic abilities in the privacy of your own home...

1. Be Positive

You can't tap into your psychic powers if you have a negative attitude. Stay open minded and give yourself permission to learn new experiences.

2. Relax

If you are feeling angry, tense, jealous or mentally cluttered, it is now time to unwind. Let go of those feelings and create a sense of peace around you. In this relaxed state and place of positivity, you will be able to develop your psychic skills.

3. Practice

They say practice makes perfect. Spend a few minutes each day practicing the following exercises.

When driving around for a car park, visualize a spare car spot just for you. Over time a car park will always present itself to you.

When the phone rings and before you pick it up, visualize who could possibly be calling you. Again, over time your accuracy will improve.

Lay down six different colored pencils. Close your eyes and tell yourself to pick up the blue or red pencil. Open your eyes to see if you are right.

Flip a coin and tell yourself whether it will be head or tails. This will improve your prediction skills.

When a person is about to make a decision and has to choose option A or B, say in your mind the item that you want to choose. You will be surprised at how often people will choose what you stated in your mind, even when the likelihood of them choosing the other was more probable.

When standing in the fast lane at the supermarket or fast food restaurant waiting to be served, select in your mind which cashier will serve you.

Think of a person whom you haven't spoken with in a while. Focus on them each day for a few minutes. Over the coming weeks they will either call you or you will bump into them in some way.

4. Use Tools of the Trade

There are a number of free online tools that will enable you to learn more about tarot, astrology, i-ching, numerology, crystals and more. These tools are used to help us focus on certain issues or questions at hand and channel our thoughts through. Do a search on Google or go to http://www.tarotreading.mobi for a range of tools.

5. Share Experiences

Don't forget to share your experiences with like-minded friends. By talking about your psychic experiences you learn more about yourself and your craft. Keep a journal. You'll be surprised at how far you have come over a short period of time.

6. Have Fun

Most of all, have fun and enjoy the journey. You are going to learn so much more about yourself, friends, colleagues and strangers whom you've just met.

I'm not saying that you will now be able to foretell the lucky numbers for this week's lotto with your newly developed psychic abilities, but these skills will certainly help you get more out of life. Whatever you do, don't change your name to Harry, Hermione or Lord Voldemort? unless that is really your name.
