Psychics are aware of things one cannot perceive through the five physical senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste or smell. They are said to have a "sixth sense" which is often called "extra sensory perception" (ESP) or just "intuition". There are several types of psychic "sensings" similar to seeing, hearing and feeling.

Channelers act as a "channel" for information from the spirit realm, either writing it down ("automatic writing") or letting a voice speak through them. 

Empaths are "all about" feelings. They can pick up feelings (and some thoughts) from others, about things, experiences, and feelings they do not know (by learning, experiencing, and feeling) through that bond. It comes as first nature for an empath to do this - as natural as a thumb on a human. So natural infact, that often an un-trained empath has no control over this ability and can do it involuntarily.

Medium = someone who is able to make contact beings in other consciousness (for example spirits, devas, etc)

A Sensitive can be a mix of any of the above, but has not fully "trained" their abilities.

Esp - Extrasensory perception is the term used to describe a means of getting information from other than the five senses that everyone uses as their primary means. The five senses are seeing, feeling, smelling, tasting, and hearing. These are considered to be our 'normal' senses and any sense or gathering of information, is said to be 'extra', or out of the ordinary.

Deja vu = you have the feeling that you have been in the exact same situation before

Visions = clairvoyance (visionary)

Visualization (= practice magic) = keeping a thought in mind of what you want, this thought is   transmitted, and next you let it go, after which it will be realized after some time

Telekinesis = moving things with your mind (also called: psychokinesis or parakinesis)

Levitation = lifting up yourself or things by the mind

Near death experience = the conscious of a person leaves the body and gets a view in the beyond/hereafter (on your own level), but returns to the body

Out of body experience (OBE) = the conscious of a person leaves the body for some time, and returns later to the body (also called astral projection or astral travel)

Automatic writing = a person let his hand leading by a spirit, who let the hand write things down

Telepathy is perceiving directly the thoughts and feelings that are present in another consciousness. A paranormal awareness that perceives another person's experience for example, but it can be an animal or every other being. The distance doesn't matter, this can be a foot, but also thousands of miles away. Telepathy is the transfer of thoughts from one mind to another. These thoughts can be both in words as in images. You see or hear the images in your head, like someone shows you something or let you hear something.

In life we are all different therefore we will all perceive or be sensitive to energy differently and there are four ways to interpret an incoming thought, pattern or energy. Most of us will perceive primarily by one and partially by the other three.

Clairaudience - Intuitive - hearing
This is a person who will pick up a thought and hear it. This persons mental or intellectual understanding is very important and they can make good leaders. We all know someone that we would say was a mental person, always having to understand mentally. They carefully think things through. If this person were to become enlightened they would have the ability to become a medium, someone who channels information from entities who have passed over, because their most heightened sensitivity is to hear.

Clairvoyance - Visionary - seeing
This is a person who will pick up a thought and see it. This person has the ability to transform a thought into a vision, symbol or in colour by using their mind's eye. If an artist, a decorator, a creative person, someone who mainly uses the right side of their brain were to become enlightened they would have the ability to read auras, our chakras, draw guides and this is how they would channel what they received because the ability to see images is their most heightened sensitivity.

Clairsentience - Prophetic (1)
This is a person who will pick up a thought and just knows it. This person is sensitive to precognition and has hunches, dreams and knowings and this person usually deals with the future or present and how it will affect another. If you were to meet an enlightened Prophetic you would be able to get some information about your 'line of probability', tomorrow is not set in time remember. This could be a person who has a dream about something and that dream turns out to happen in reality. They have the ability of prediction because they 'just know' and can tune into and understand their hunches.

Clairsentience - Feeler (2)
This is a person who will pick up a thought and transform it immediately into a feeling. This persons life can revolve around how it feels to them. Their sense of touch is well-developed and they have the ability to know people by feeling what they feel. After enlightenment, this is someone would have the ability to practice psychometry. The ability to put something belonging to someone in their hand and read the energy. Depending on their other gifts, they could tell the past, present or future from the energy. They have the ability to feel how others feel but only on the emotional level. They will be able to not only empathise but experience their pain, loss, grief etc. For instance, if they were to channel energy from a persons past life they would experience the pain and hurt that that soul experienced in that past lifetime.

Clairolfaction (smelling)   -   also: clairolfactory, clair smelling, psychic smelling

Clairgustation (tasting)   -   also: clairgustatory, clair tasting, psychic tasting

Clairscrivence = writing down what you inwardly hear (also clairaudient writing)
