We are not just physical beings—we are souls in human form, energy bodies woven into the cosmos, nature, and one another. Developing your intuitive and psychic abilities is not about learning something new—it’s about remembering what is already within you. It’s a return to your natural, energetic state and a reconnection with the vibrational world.

Everything Is Energy: Returning to the Truth

At the core of psychic development is the understanding that everything is energy. The Universe communicates through frequency, vibration, and resonance. Intuition, meaning “to look within,” is how we tune in. It’s the subtle whisper from Spirit, the nudge from our soul, and the energetic voice that comes through image, emotion, sound, sensation, or knowing.

We were born with this ability, but the noise of modern life dims the signal. Developing our intuitive abilities is a sacred practice of listening, remembering, and aligning. I often teach about this in my workshops.

You Are Energy: Understanding Frequency

Your body is a powerful tuning fork made mostly of water—highly sensitive to thought, emotion, and vibration. Dr. Masaru Emoto’s work with water crystals revealed how words like “love” and “gratitude” create stunning crystalline patterns, while negative words distort and dull the structure. Your thoughts and emotions shape your inner water—your vibration—and affect how clearly you connect with other energies.

Several universal laws help us understand our relationship to energy:

Law of Vibration: Everything is in motion.

Law of Relativity: Perspective shapes experience.

Law of Cause and Effect: Energy we send out returns to us.

Law of Gestation: All manifestation takes time.

Law of Transmutation: Thought transforms energy into form.

Understanding these principles helps you manage your energy and elevate your intuitive clarity.

What Affects Your Energy Field?

Your energy field is influenced by everything—thoughts, emotions, habits, and environment. Low-frequency emotions like fear, stress, or judgment can cloud your intuitive access. So can dehydration, poor nutrition, toxins, or lack of sleep. Energetically, unresolved trauma and inherited belief systems can block your flow.

On the other hand, joy, gratitude, creativity, nature, movement, and self-care raise your frequency. The higher your vibration, the more clearly you receive spiritual messages and guidance.

Who’s on Your Spiritual Team?

You’re never alone. Each of us is assigned a spiritual guide before birth—an evolved energy that knows your soul’s mission. These primary guides aren’t deceased loved ones but high-frequency beings who direct spiritual “traffic” and call in additional support when needed.

Your spiritual team may include:

Archangels like Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel for protection, healing, insight, and communication.

Ascended Masters who offer wisdom through color rays and energetic teachings.

Elementals like gnomes, sylphs, and undines who connect us to Earth.

Saints, Gods, and Goddesses who hold archetypal energies.

Soul Boards—beings who oversee soul contracts and group missions.

To connect, ask: “Who is with me now?” Trust the colors, names, sensations, or images that arise.

Listen to the Signs: The Clairs

Your spiritual team is always sending signals—through signs, symbols, dreams, or sensations. These messages often come through the Clairs, your intuitive senses:

Clairvoyance: Clear seeing—visions or images

Clairaudience: Clear hearing—voices, tones, or music

Clairsentience: Clear feeling—emotional or physical sensations

Claircognizance: Clear knowing—information that drops in

Clairalience: Clear smelling

Clairgustance: Clear tasting

Pay attention to synchronicities like repeated numbers, feathers, coins, or phrases. These are energetic breadcrumbs. Rather than overanalyzing, notice how they make you feel and what intuitive thoughts arise.

Practices to Develop Intuition

Intuition grows with practice. Start by grounding your energy: stand barefoot on the earth, lean against a tree, or lie down and breathe deeply. Tune into your senses one at a time:

What subtle sounds do you hear?

What visual details stand out?

What feelings arise in stillness?

What thoughts “drop in” without prompting?

Journaling helps you track these impressions and recognize patterns. Over time, you build trust in your inner voice.

Tools to Support Your Journey

Though your body is the most powerful tool, other tool can help you tap into your intuitive knowing:

Oracle, tarot, or angel cards

Pendulums

Muscle testing

Journaling and dream interpretation

Sound healing or chanting

These tools are extensions of your intuition, not replacements. Use them to explore, not to outsource your inner knowing.

Honor and Protect Your Energy

As you open up, energetic hygiene becomes essential. Protection isn’t about fear—it’s about honoring your vibration. Techniques include:

Visualizing light expanding from your body

Placing energetic walls or shields

Simply saying “No” to energies that don’t align

Discernment is key. Not all energies are aligned with your highest good, so trust how you feel and give yourself permission to disconnect. Keep your energy clear, rest when needed, and raise your frequency with intention.

Sacred Times and Places to Connect

Certain moments—sunrise, sunset, after meditation, or during sleep—offer easier access to the spiritual realms. The veil is thinner, and your vibration is naturally higher.

Places like sacred sites, mountains, oceans, and forests also hold powerful energies. Your guides and loved ones often reach out in these liminal spaces, offering reassurance, guidance, and comfort. Take time to listen and connect.

You Are the Channel

Everything you say, think, and feel sends a signal to the Universe. Your words create your world. Speak from love, light, and wisdom. Choose high-vibrational thoughts and behaviors. When you vibrate clearly, the Universe responds in kind.

You are already intuitive. You are already psychic. The goal is not to become supernatural—but to return to your natural state. Teachings such as these are filled with methods to remember or to tap into the energies of the Universe. With consistent practice, open-hearted awareness, and trust, you’ll remember your place in the great symphony of energy—and begin to sing your note with clarity and purpose.

You are energy. You are wisdom. You are light.
The Universe is always speaking. Are you ready to listen?

Laurie Wondra: Psychic Medium, Energy Healer, Metaphysical and Shamanic Practitioner, Teacher, Author, Motivational Speaker and Corporate Executive Consultant.

Laurie’s earliest memories are of talking with Archangel Michael in the hallways of school when she was in second grade. In fourth grade, she began to channel and write with the help of a lovely ‘green energy’ that later became known to her as Archangel Gabriel and the Collective Light. For as long as she remembers she’s been able to see loved ones that have crossed over. Today she uses these gifts as a clear channel while working with people from all over the world to help them connect with their loved ones, angels, and guides. Her ability to tune into the varying frequencies of the universe allow her to share this information and insight about past, present and future.
