Psychics and clairvoyants often need a chance to blow off steam with like minded others so there is often a close group of them who are friends and get together as often as possible for a little chit-chat, sometimes in a psychic circle but more often as friends over coffee. I have the distinct pleasure of having several psychic friends who I am honored to call friends and we get together as often as possible to compare notes and just relax with other people who understand us.

Most of us know how important it is to surround ourselves with people who understand us on a level that most people do not. A place where you can truly be yourself and discuss things that others might find strange or offensive. If you do not have a group of friends like this then I highly recommend you find some. These people are different from your spouse or family and they count as their own separate support group!

So the meeting of clairvoyants that I refer to was a group of four of us that got together for drinks at a local tavern. One of us brought tarot cards, because she never leaves home without them, and the rest of us brought our cheery dispositions! Well something very interesting happened this particular evening that I would like to share with all of you.

Friend #1 with the tarot cards decided to get them out for a laugh, but of course there were other people in the bar that night who happened to notice. Before long we had a huge group of people surrounding us, interested in a bunch of psychics all in one place. Of course we had the skeptics who were harassing us and asking us to prove our abilities, but there were also other folks who were genuinely interested in what we were doing. Now normally we don’t “perform” like this during our get together, this just happened naturally, but something powerful came from it.

When you get a bunch of psychics in a room who know what they are doing they are able to work off each others energies and actually create a huge “super psychic” if you will – our psychic abilities are often enhanced if we are all tuned in at the same time. This happened to us on this night when a young woman approached our table after the hoopla died down and wanted to know if she could ask us a question. There was something about his woman that made us all very sad and we wanted to help. She told us her son had been missing for three days and that she wasn’t in the bar to drink, in fact she was just walking home when she saw a big crowd around our table and felt compelled to come in and see what was going on. She asked us if we could sense where her child was.

Let me say that this is not something I am normally comfortable in and I do not work for police stations because of this, but some of my friends are experienced in this area. I lent my energy to my friends and we tried to pick up on where this child might be. My friend with the tarot cards suddenly cried out that this woman’s son was being held in a basement somewhere not far from where we were. He was scared, but alive and seemingly unharmed.

I felt that my friend was correct, but we had no way of knowing where exactly this place was, she wasn’t picking up on an address, etc, but the young mother knew exactly where, or at least she knew the person who took her son at that moment. She said she had a contractor in her house about seven months ago who kept talking about all the remodeling he had done to his own basement. Her intuition told her at that moment that he was the one, she remembered his name and used my phone to call the police. Her son was rescued less than 45 minutes later.

That is one meeting of clairvoyants to go down in the record books! What an experience!

A woman and man sat at a table while a second woman looked on.  The man at the table was leaning forward, taking notes and holding cards up at random intervals.  The woman at the table was facing towards a blank wall, her back to the man holding the cards, randomly saying “Circle, Waves, Waves, Square, Circle, Star”.  These three people were in the middle of an ESP or extra sensory perception experiment, using the scientific method to try and prove that clairvoyant readings are for real and that clairvoyance does exist.  So far to date, it has not been proven scientifically to exist.

Psychics who claim to have some form of psychic abilities all claim their powers come from many different sources.  Some claim their abilities come from a spiritual source such as spirit guides, the dead or angels while others claim their source is magic.  Most psychics will tell you that everyone is gifted with psychic abilities and you just need to learn how to tap into your own source in order to conduct clairvoyant readings.  Still there are people out there, oddly enough, who do not accept these theories on faith alone and demand proof.  The only effective and fool proof way to get this proof is through the scientific method.

The Zerner cards are cards that use five different symbols repeated multiple times in a deck of cards.  The previous experiment was using Zerner cards to test a subjects ESP abilities by having them attempt to “see” each card as another person holds the card in front of them, but hidden from the test subject.  The third party observes the experiment in order to eliminate the potential for mistakes such as the test subject reading the body language of the experimenter.

During the test, the subject uses telepathy or ESP to read either the mind of the person holding the cards, clairvoyance to see the symbols herself or just guesses.  There is a build in chance that a person will guess correctly 20% of the time.

If the subject has true clairvoyance then she should be able to guess the correct symbols on the cards more than the 20% chance she has at guessing them randomly.  Let us say that she happens to guess the cards correctly 50% of the time, proving the hypothesis correct, then the experimenter can then say the subject has clairvoyant tendencies.  At this point the hypothesis must be tested again and again and if then the subject is still at the same percentage or higher then the hypothesis can truly be proven.

So far no experiment has ever been able to survive the fourth step in the scientific method.  Psychic readings cannot be proven true, but belief is often times stronger than proof.
