Discovering your own abilities

Discovering your own abilities

We are all different and have different abilities. We usually have more than one area which is of interest or which comes easily to us. Its good to know what these are so we can foster our development in the most meaningful areas. The following questions are a rough guide as to where your natural talents lie.



Do you ever walk into a room and know what people were talking about before you came in?
Have you ever met someone and felt you had known them all your life - really known them?
Do you ever see a scene playing in your head which then happens in real life?
Do you ever have dreams about things which later occur in real life?
Do you ever have vague premonitions about things which later happen?
Have you ever felt that someone was looking over your shoulder, even though you were alone at the time?
Do you ever hear a booming or echoing voice iin your head, especially just as you are waking up?
Have you sometimes felt things were going to be all right, even when at the time they seemed to be all wrong?
Have you ever picked up someone's thoughts as clearly as if they had spoken them?
Have you ever seen a ghost?
Do you find yourself thinking about people just before they visit, phone or write to you?
Do you ever see colours (the aura) around people?
Have you ever been able to find something that was lost simply by thinking about where it was?
Have you ever been to a strange place and felt you had been there before?
Do you ever feel there are certain details you know about a period in history that you couldn't have learnt from books?
Do you ever get messages for people that you feel are really important to tell them?
Have you ever felt that someone you knew who has died is talking to you or wanting to talk to you?
Have you had any out-of-body experiences?
Have you experienced any strange coincidences that really made you think?
Do you ever 'see' words in your mind which you don’t always understand?
Have you ever sensed strange feelings coming from a photograph?
Do you ever just know the answer to something, without knowing how you know?
Do you ever have a strong urge to do something without knowing why?
Do you sometimes know what people are going to say before they say it?
Have you ever seen someone's face subtly change to that of someone else, even a historical figure?


Yes to 3,4,10,12 & 20 or a majority of these, then you are a true clairvoyant, a 'seer'. Your channel of communication is the visual one and you will often feel you are playing a scene again because you have seen it all before

If you relate most to questions 7,9,16 & 17 you are clairaudient. You will be able to channel messages from your guides and helpers both for yourself and others. Clairaudience seems to be less common than some of the other abilities. Look after it. It can be developed much further by giving yourself time to listen. It can also be switched off very easily if your mind is too busy with other things

Yes to 1,2,6,8,21 or 23 then you are a feeling type. You work with your intuition and know what to do instinctively. If you follow your intuition you will generally keep out of trouble. Problems arise if you do not heed what your intuition is telling you. It's often the hardest one to trust. Don’t talk yourself out of it!

If you related most to 5,11,13,19,22 & 24 you have the 'knowing'. You don’t know how you know, you just do. Trust the messages you are getting. Often people who know start intellectualising too much and question it. Just accept that somebody is trying to tell you something and don’t let anyone else talk you out of it.

This leaves 14,15,18 & 25. All except 18 relate to past lifetimes. It's thought that those who have had many lifetimes ('old souls') will remember significant amounts of their previous ones and that flashbacks from these lifetimes will occur from time to time. Its like any other memory of the past where something happens to stimulate the flashback and its nothing to be alarmed about. On the contrary, it shows that you have brought some powerful memories with you. Maybe that knowledge can help you and others in this lifetime.


Question 18 refers to astral travel, something enjoyed by a number of people but not significant in itself. It probably shows that you are waking up and are ready to take the next step in your spiritual development, because you are able to break out of the confines of time and space to go and explore. For that reason it is a useful aid to learning.
