How To Test Psychic Abilities With ESP Cards, The Aura, And Dreaming

You can learn how to test psychic abilities in practical ways to find out if you are blessed with extrasensory perceptions. 

Some people are born with highly developed psychic powers in the areas of clairvoyance, clairaudience and/or clairsentience. Others work to develop their psychic ability. Still others don’t care or don’t want anything to do with the world of metaphysical phenomena. 

You are likely one of those who want to know how to test psychic abilities. So, let’s look at some easy and practical ways find your current level of clairvoyance.

There or no rules, grades or diplomas for successful completion of these exercises. Several are best accomplished with the help of a friend who is interested in the metaphysical arts.

Zener's ESP Cards

The first tests using the ESP symbols of these five Zener cards were conducted in the 1930s by Joseph Banks Rhine at Duke University in the USA.

Just as in the computer version below, the original experiments called for subjects to guess the order of the symbols as they were randomly selected. Pure chance is measured as 1 in 5 correct calls.

Known as the Father of Modern Parapsychology Dr J B Rhine, along with his wife Dr L E Rhine coined the term "extrasensory perception" (ESP) to describe the apparent ability of some people to acquire information without the use of the known (five) senses. He also adopted the term "parapsychology" to distinguish his interests from mainstream psychology.

How To Test Psychic Abilities At Home With ESP Cards And A Friend

You and your friend can take turns testing each other for clairvoyance. 

As the sender 

• 1) Relax and pick a card from the pack at random.
  
  
• 2) Note the time, date, and the symbol you have picked, in your journal.
  
  
• 3) Hold the card, and while looking at the symbol, imagine projecting that image onto a clear white wall in front of you.
  
  
• 4) With eyes open or closed keep projecting that vision for one full minute.

As the receiver

• 1) Relax and close your eyes.
  
  
• 2) Imagine a clear white wall in front of you.
   
• 3) Imagine one of the five symbols clearly taking form on the white wall.
  
  
• 4) After holding that visualization for one full minute open your eyes and take a note of time, date and the symbol you clairvoyantly received. 

If you are both in the same location, get together and compare notes. If you are separated by distance, connect via phone or Skype and compare notes. 

• Repeat as many times as you wish.
• Swap sender/receiver roles and repeat exercise.
• Keep records of number of attempts vs correct clairvoyance testing answers.

Alternative ways on how to test psychic abilities with this method.

Because you are testing for clairvoyance you may like to try some receiving variations to this exercise. Rather than imagining a clear white wall you can try:

• With eyes open gaze into a crystal ball. Imagine one of the symbols appearing within the sphere.
• With eyes open hold a blank white card in your hands, imagine a symbol forming on the white card. 
• With eyes closed, imagine seeing through your third eye, the chakra located front and center of your forehead. While doing so imagine the white wall in the exercise above. 
• With eyes open, imagine seeing through your third eye.  While doing so gaze into your crystal ball, or hand-held bank card, as in the exercise above.

Keep records of the number of, and types of, attempts vs correct clairvoyance testing answers. Compare notes.
