Unlocking Psychic Abilities After 30
Unlocking psychic abilities at any stage in life involves many changes, challenging your fundamental belief systems, and unexpected self-discovery. What makes unlocking psychic abilities difficult post-30 in the self-healing age is the myths that have become a version of the truth of the modern era.
The reckless pursuit of this esteemed designation, "psychic" or "healer," has created a generation of self-healers who complain incessantly about feeling stuck because they are trying to force what does not come naturally to them. When trauma became one size fits all, it was the day that the modern mystic became irrelevant.
Do we all have a level of intuition? Sure.
But we all have many commonalities with many beings that don't make us stand out, and certainly, many of our attributes do not translate to a higher calling.
What makes unlocking your spiritual gifts so complicated after 30, post-pandemic, is everyone believes their answer to any solution is the supreme one, especially if it involves canceling someone, enforcing a boundary, or some very generic healing technique that does not touch or come close to permeating the wound of someone with deep-seated traumas, or mental health disorders.
Many of the women I've met through through intuitive coaching who believe they are naturally empathic or have psychic ability have many commonalities – in or around 30, and that is the myths about unlocking psychic abilities that they have accepted as beliefs that keep them from learning developing those gifts in a way that supports their highest path.
3 Myths & Tips for Unlocking Psychic Abilities
1. Meditation
Myth: You need to meditate for long periods each day.
Myths about psychics and psychic ability are as ancient as the existence of humans. Psychic ability is the ability to sense or predict an occurrence without prior knowledge. Psychic abilities, commonly referred to as a sixth sense, are an aspect of humans that many people are inclined to believe that we all possess. But as they describe this, they are more or less aligning natural psychic abilities with a "gut feeling" or akin to the connection a mother experiences with her child. However, an accurate depiction of the experience of being psychic is the ability to interact with the unseen world in ways that we operate in real life and connect to deep wisdom and abilities to see deep into the future and the past of yourself or other people.
One of the biggest myths about deleting your psychic ability is that you must meditate for long periods. While meditation is essential to developing your spiritual gifts, you must understand there is no time on the other side. Whether you meditate for 2 or 60 minutes does not matter as long as you can hold the connection without judgment. And here lies the problem: many people get wrapped up in visualization, which creates the opportunity for judgment and interaction with your ego. An active ego is not the pathway to connection with Spirit. A productive meditation habit is about consistency.
As you start leaning into a more spiritual life, whether you have raw psychic ability or not, you must create a daily practice. To begin sitting down with yourself for two minutes of stillness is much better than projecting for a half hour, testing, and failing at visualization techniques. Or worse, utilizing guided meditation of any kind.
Meditation is most beneficial as you create presence, understand what it feels like to be uninterrupted with your energy, and learn to be aware of your thoughts without judgment or the need to respond. This combination sets the stage for any natural psychic ability you possess to come forward.
2. Unlearning Childhood programming
Myth: childhood trauma does not impact psychic ability.
The loss of natural psychic ability has to do with your natural environment. As an Empathic Intuitive Guide, I have often been approached about intuitive development. My first questions are to see how a potential client will respond to questions about trauma and fears. I often hear, "I don't have any childhood trauma." Or "I'm not afraid to interact with spirits." However, trauma is a condition of our life experience. Everyone experiences some level of trauma. Not to mention, many people are born with raw psychic abilities. It's not something that happens at some point in our lives. We come with intuitive knowledge at birth, so if you are "awakening" post-30, someone or something has impacted you so negatively that you have disconnected from the ability and must re-learn the ability to utilize it.
Childhood programming is also relative to inherited traditions or religions that make you fearful or natural psychic ability, as many religions do not condone interacting with the unseen outside of praying in churches or temples. Many people have gifts that can help others or help them identify when they are in danger, but they diminish as they are judged as demonic or sacrilegious.
Unlearning and working through childhood programming is often the biggest roadblock and critical to why so many people with natural psychic abilities reach out for intuitive guidance to help navigate their gifts as they understand more about them.
Intuitive guidance for a person with natural psychic abilities helps to create a safe space where you might not have one in your friends or family when it comes to a gift or aspect of you that is not easily understood, primarily at an age where many are starting to feel more settled in their careers and begin to establish families that may solidify beliefs that don't align with who you are becoming as a natural psychic.
Unlearning your childhood programming takes time as you face and challenge long-standing beliefs. By releasing the views of your parents and the culture, you can recover your natural psychic ability over time and with patience and learning to attune your senses to how Spirit is communicating with you. It is not always simply stating that you do not believe a specific thing anymore but more about identifying your new beliefs and creating new thoughts and actions with those new beliefs intact and diving into a more spiritual and unseen aspect of life that threatens those new beliefs as there is much uncertainty on a new path without guidance. But this process becomes activated as you tap into your emotional scars, how you have sabotaged your belief in yourself and the universe, and create a consistent spiritual practice.
3. Find your unique pathway to your spiritual gifts
Myth: I am a healer available to heal anyone.
Finding your pathway to your spiritual gifts after 30 isn't easy. It can feel like a massive disruption to your life, and it can be very unsettling as you decide to pivot in your work or discover many relationships no longer serve you as you become more self-aware.
Most empaths and psychics start their awakening process and somehow believe they are alone, and no one else is like them. That couldn't be further from the truth. Many people have natural psychic abilities, but everyone has a different pathway to their gifts and can channel them in many different ways. Allowing a spiritual guide to help you uncover your spiritual gifts and guide you through them is a huge step in understanding how to utilize your skills and their purpose in your circumstances, whether it is learning into the role of a healer, dismantling generational trauma as a cyclebreaker, or allowing your gifts to unfold as a means of connection to Spirit to keep you grounded in life.
The myth and the true fallacy of most of the healers you identify with online are that they all seek to heal the masses by offering very generic tips to everyone through short and long-form videos. While these can be helpful, you need help finding your pathway to understanding your gift, which may not be hosting a huge online presence or doing psychic readings. But it may improve your creativity as you learn how to channel energy or your relationships as you become more self-aware and compassionate and can set better boundaries once you become more familiar with your energy.
Esoteric knowledge is sacred, and how you unlock your natural psychic ability will be up to you. My best tips for navigating what feels like an awakening are to spend time with yourself often and keep a journal of how you are feeling and how what you are experiencing is affecting you as you learn to meditate without assistance. Self-awareness is critical in learning to disconnect from this reality as you delve into the unseen.
Learn and start to adopt grounding techniques. One of your most understated grounding methods as someone with natural psychic ability will be your grounding gift. This gift is the more creative aspect of your identity, which could involve writing, art, music, or whatever creative ability that naturally places you in a genuine meditative state without needing to "sit down" and meditate. Often, online healers speak of the need to learn protective rituals or connect directly to the energy of the Earth through skin contact or earthing. These can be beneficial, but your grounding gift is where many see the physical expression of their natural psychic ability with effort, and it helps with your mental stability as you begin to unlock new levels of your natural psychic gifts.
Seek a guide to help you learn and modify spiritual practices aligned with your soul imprint. The Akashic Records is a powerful modality to tap into when you want to understand more about your creative abilities, any spiritual gifts you brought into this life, your soul purpose, and how to utilize your talents to reach your highest potential. This level of guidance helps you to start a conversation with Spirit and connect more deeply with the reason you have psychic abilities and how they allow you to heal and become more aware of yourself beyond this life --on a soul level.
Don't overcomplicate unlocking your psychic abilities; this is a powerful designation, and it will require a lot of focus, unlearning, and guidance as you uncover your most profound truth. Unlocking your psychic ability is the pathway of least resistance. The myths you lean into as you fear a more direct form of guidance only solidify your need for it. Lean in for a more authentic journey and honor your soul and awakening at any age by answering the call of Spirit and dismantling the information that disrupts your evolution.
